Of course he was steamed . Ever see Jesse Ventura when he is asked about his “friend” Hulk Hogan ?

This just reminds me of that movie Anchorman, she will read whatever is put on the teleprompter. I huess the “Vast Rightwing Conspiracy” hacked her teleprompter and changed it. It’s good thing they didn’t have her saying anything worse…

That’s so RAAAAAAAACCCCCCIIIIISSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTT!

She deserves at least an hour in the RACE ROOM for that.

She should write “I am not a Racist” 100 times on the blackboard (oops – that’s racist, isn’t it) and her parents should come in for a conference about Contessa’s poor attitude.

hehehehehehe

It’s a good thing that MSNBC is a “real” news network, unlike FOX. This is too funny.

Once again, Contessa demonstrates she is the dumbest member of MSNBC’s stable of on-air “talent”. She has quite a number of these types of moments in her career. I won’t speculate how she manages to keep her day job.

"I wonder what all the folks making 10 bucks an hour would have to say about that."

She may not have been "presenting a point of view", But she sure was implying that she had one.

Obviously, Contessa Brewer is a racist who thinks all black people look alike.

And obviously Brewer hasn’t a brain in her head. Has no idea what she is saying when she is on the air. She simply reads what it in front of here. The female version of Ron Burgundy.

MSNBC has always had a problem with identifying black guests.

In all fairness, what the hell did Niger’s parents think was going to happen when they named him?

Obviously, Contessa Brewer is a racist who thinks all black people look alike. I didn’t hear her words aloud, but in my head I heard her say, “My script says Al Sharpton, boy.” It just goes to show how far yet liberals need to come in accepting their racism so that they can overcome it.

Okay, one more slam: “Contessa”? Get effing real! This is what happens to Journalism 101 students who are too stupid to write a broadcast script but are good-looking enough to catch the eyes of the male TV execs who masturbate over their demo reels.

This is inexcusable and the ditz needs to be fired. As a veteran journalist I can assure you that the producers of the segment knew who Jackson was, relayed it to the bubblehead, prepared her questions and talking points, and she still effed it up. Anybody that stupid should be banned for life from the aiwaves. But I gotta tell ya, as a conservative I’m laughing my a$$ off over the bimbo’s seemingly intelligent question and Jackson’s apparent shock and somewhat controlled anger. Bwah haaa hhaaaa haaaa!!!!

That’s what ‘news’ people do on MSNBC. Blindly read a script, mouthing words that someone smarter and more articulate wrote for them. They’re only there for the hair and the teeth.

So if the script said “tinker bell” Contessa would have called Jackson “tinker bell”?

Maybe cuz Rev. Al lost all that weight, she can’t tell the difference?

I don’t find this a big deal at all, though it’s worth noting that Gawker is absolutely right.
