Video: Late afternoon palate cleanser

posted at 5:30 pm on January 10, 2008 by Allahpundit

Via Inside Cable News. Too much heavy duty political news around here lately, not enough pure crap.

If you want to compete with Erin Burnett, you’ve got to be on your game at all times.

Lucky it was just that.

BL@KBIRD on January 10, 2008 at 5:33 PM

Give her credit, she handled the surprise cut-back pretty well.

And she’s pretty cute too.

LagunaDave on January 10, 2008 at 5:35 PM

That’s the camera ops fault…or the directors Sheesh lol.

Too much heavy duty political news around here later, not enough pure crap.

I thought this was supposed to be a serious news site, Allah.

/thought I’d goof on the people who think the internet is serious business.

The only thing that would be funnier is if that were Chris Matthews or Keith O.

Yeah…we need a little “crap” now and then, keeps us grounded :-)

Looks like the video feed screwed up and they went to the fallback.

Even so, it was lucky she didn’t have to evacuate a boogie.

MirCat on January 10, 2008 at 5:41 PM

This is acceptable, because she is hot.

MirCat on January 10, 2008 at 5:41 PM

They got tools for that now.

Buford on January 10, 2008 at 5:45 PM

Ahhh, I remember Contessa fondly from her days as a Milwaukee news anchor. Keep up the good work, Tess!

MirCat on January 10, 2008 at 5:41 PM

She could have quickly hidden it in her mouth.

TexasDan on January 10, 2008 at 5:49 PM

That look on her face is priceless. Like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

NTWR on January 10, 2008 at 5:49 PM

Hey, at least she didn’t FART on camera!

Shirotayama on January 10, 2008 at 5:49 PM

I like the unconvincing head nod after her recovery, as if she were listening. Classic.

warrenmr on January 10, 2008 at 5:50 PM

Who said being a cameraman at MessNBC was a lousy job?

JammieWearingFool on January 10, 2008 at 5:51 PM

Somewhere the Camera man for Helen Thomas’ organzation is praying for his sffering to end

William Amos on January 10, 2008 at 5:52 PM

Oh, and more pure crap, please. I’m burned out.

TexasDan on January 10, 2008 at 5:53 PM

spacekicker on January 10, 2008 at 5:35 PM

The camera operator has no control when the camera comes on, that is the responsibility of the engineer and director and this would land on the miscommunication of the director, floor manager and engineer.

Mojack420 on January 10, 2008 at 5:57 PM

That’s far less embarrassing than bringing a live mic into the loo with you, like Kyra Phillips.

Buy Danish on January 10, 2008 at 6:10 PM

thanks for the lift. that’s hilarious.

jimmer on January 10, 2008 at 6:11 PM

DON Imus didn’t like being called “a cantankerous old fool” by MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer on PAGE SIX. Brewer, a former news reader on Imus’ show, also said the I-man doesn’t know how to relate to “beautiful women.” “With that fat ass she’s got, she wouldn’t be one of ‘em,” Imus said on the air Friday. “That skank has to spend three hours with makeup in the morning … Who’s she kidding? . . . Plus, she’s dumber than dirt … Oh, my God, what a pig. But I was willing to cut her some slack and not say anything, you know, until – in fact, I didn’t say anything . . . That’s why they have those big double-doors there at MSNBC, you know, so they can get her fat ass in makeup.” An MSNBC spokesman said: “Contessa Brewer is a valued and respected employee. While Don Imus’ humor is often brilliant and provocative, we believe that this morning’s comments about Contessa went over the line. We have expressed our displeasure to Don.”

spacekicker on January 10, 2008 at 5:35 PM

Someone was having a little fun. They can just provide an exercise bike and all will be forgiven.

pedestrian on January 10, 2008 at 6:20 PM

*makes the obvious joke about political news being pure crap*

Hawkins1701 on January 10, 2008 at 6:21 PM

at least she wasn’t fixin her breastesses. gawd.
gotta keep them lips shiny. yeah!
no complaints here.

johnnyU on January 10, 2008 at 6:24 PM

Heh. She is lovely.

Jaibones on January 10, 2008 at 6:28 PM

The only thing that would have been funnier would be if her lipstick was shaped like a, a, a….well, you know.

csdeven on January 10, 2008 at 6:29 PM

Game face.

Pretty lady though.

Mojave Mark on January 10, 2008 at 6:31 PM

Can we have the Julie Banderas version of that video, please?

csdeven on January 10, 2008 at 6:29 PM

Or if she was looking at a bunch of plane tickets.

pedestrian on January 10, 2008 at 6:36 PM

Same thing happened to Rather in ’96. Same outfit, too.

Jim Treacher on January 10, 2008 at 6:51 PM

If only I hadn’t already delcared the “Comment of the Day” contest closed,….

steveegg on January 10, 2008 at 6:56 PM

smooch smooch Baby!

Drtuddle on January 10, 2008 at 7:14 PM

Still doesn’t beat the Gal (forgot her name already) that
was on her cellphone in a bathroom stall talking about her
brothers wife.

Texyank on January 10, 2008 at 7:16 PM

The Update to the post linked above says that it’s going viral.

Dork B. on January 10, 2008 at 7:17 PM

steveegg on January 10, 2008 at 6:56 PM

Heh. Just trying to meet the standard round here:)

Spirit of 1776 on January 10, 2008 at 7:21 PM

When that red light goes off those people are VERY narcissisitic.

SouthernGent on January 10, 2008 at 7:25 PM

And she’s pretty cute too.

Agreed

Richard Bushnell on January 10, 2008 at 7:44 PM

Oh yeah, baby. Put that lipstick on . . . . Did I just post that live?

prediction: she will be at fox by the end of the year

custer on January 10, 2008 at 8:35 PM

Everyone is obviously very concerned abut Rudy’s safety at MSNBC..

Poor gal, ‘caught with her gloss down’ like that.

saus on January 10, 2008 at 8:39 PM

Dude, that was pure crap. 100% pure. Good housekeeping seal of approval. Lunar trajectory. I’m mainlining this crap.

Mark V. on January 10, 2008 at 8:41 PM

All of their life they are consumed with conceited image over substance…..

Like anyone is going to notice your lipstick……

Did she just give Olberman a BJ?

awesum on January 10, 2008 at 9:11 PM

And she’s pretty cute too.

LagunaDave on January 10, 2008 at 5:35 PM

Contessa Brewer cute? You people must be desperate.

Jungliszt on January 10, 2008 at 10:08 PM

Dude.

Jaibones on January 10, 2008 at 10:11 PM

Just another teleprompter reader with an attitude.

labrat on January 11, 2008 at 1:26 AM

Hey, at least she didn’t FART on camera!

Fart? Oh, no no.

Dude.

Pablo on January 11, 2008 at 6:22 AM

Contessa Brewer cute? You people must be desperate.

She’s adorable, as long as you’re willing to overlook nasty and dumb as a stump.

Pablo on January 11, 2008 at 6:23 AM

Well, at least she wasn’t picking her nose.

Always Right on January 11, 2008 at 6:57 AM

Hey, we can listen and apply lip gloss at the same time. And mentally devise a grocery list, fantasize about new clothes, calculate what budget item we have to screw with to afford them, plan dinner (and dessert, if we’re lucky — heh, heh), relive a conversation with our mother … and remember to put our hair, head and smile in our favorite position (just so) in order to look our most gorgeous. It’s called female multi-tasking, and we totally rock at it. Besides, you saw the nod — that means she was earnestly listening.

C’mon … men have been doing that particular trick since the beginning of time.

eucher on January 11, 2008 at 9:30 AM

My guess: she reamed the Floor Director who then said the Producer and Director in the booth didn’t communicate with him/her. Someone got an earfull anyway. ;)

Malpaso on January 11, 2008 at 9:58 AM

I was always a little skeptical of her, but this sealed the deal.

Can you say shallow?

Romeo Sierra Out

rightside on January 11, 2008 at 10:07 AM

Sure am glad she wasn’t clipping nose hairs.

4Bear on January 11, 2008 at 11:28 AM

Did I forget to say that the gloss looks nice. I almost forgot what she was reporting. I can’t imagine Bill O’Riely getting caught touching up his makeup.

4Bear on January 11, 2008 at 11:31 AM

Nope, that would be DNC Love Glaze.
