How 'bout David Shuster replacing Andrea Mitchell?

[jenmito]

Her show is unwatchable! She constantly reads the prompter wrong, pauses during questions then keeps going when the person starts answering, never asks follow-ups as if she's not even listening to what the person just said, and can't move her face with all the botox. She should stick to reporting.

[DJ13]

1. Andrea needs the work

Would you want to be stuck with Greenspan all day?

[tularetom]

2. It's hard to picture

Alan Greenspan bouncing up and down on top of Shuster.

But then come to think of it, it's hard to picture it with Andrea as well. Or for that matter, anybody.

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. I don't want to picture Alan Greenspan bouncing up and down on ANYBODY

:puke: :puke:

But I also don't want to hear his wife distort the reality of the economic fuckups that her husband caused. Same with Douche Gregory, who's wife has also been part of this scam.

3. How about my cats replacing Andrea Mitchell?

Can't see how they could possibly be any worse, and at least they'd be diverting when stoned on catnip.

[JohnnyBoots]

4. I would so totally watch that. nt

[jenmito]

17. I'd go for that!

:D

[ShortnFiery]

34. They probably have more meat on their bones - IMO, much easier on the eyes.

[DebJ]

5. Definitely! n/t

[Phred42]

6. How about Schuster replacing Moron Joe?

:shrug:

[asjr]

9. Now, that's a winner!

[Mike Daniels]

15. Shuster and Joe had this big cat-fight last year during one of the conventions

Great TV - Broadcast your morning show live from a bar and throw two sleep-deprived and alcohol-affected egos into a small space together.

The whole thing came down to....

Shuster: I'm a card carrying independent voter.

Joe: Yeah right. I'm the independent. You're a Democrat, admit it.

Shuster: Whatever. At least I'm not a hack.

18. Speaking of Morning Joe..

does anyone notice how when there is going to be something happening in the news where Scarborough can't criticize The President without everyone jumping on him he doesn't show up.

[Mike Daniels]

25. I noticed he's been off the last few days....

However, I think he's doing the "visit his family" thing since he works from DC/NY and I think his family still lives in Florida.

Besides, I've never known Joe to shirk from a beat-down by his co-hosts.

[Kittycat]

7. I pretty sure the plan is to keep the viewers awake in the afternoon.

[MadBadger]

8. Andrea gets bigger guests that Shuster wouldnt get.

Her status is much bigger in Washington and even though she sucks, I think her access will make her stay.

[otohara]

11. Replacing Norah is Fine With Me...Besides

Andrea gets the big name guests.

[polichick]

12. She really doesn't seem to listen...

I know that sometimes there's a technical delay but that's not all it is. Weird.

[jenmito]

20. She sure doesn't...

and it's often done when the guest is right there with her. She's no good at that job.

[asphalt.jungle]

13. the funny thing about the media talking about Obama's use of a teleprompter

is that they have shown many times that they can't read one.

and there was no teleprompter on this trip ... and he has a cold ... and the foreign press applauded him. now what losers?

[jenmito]

23. Exactly...

and yes, I noticed he spoke without a teleprompter and did GREAT as always. PLUS he has a cold. I bet the media will not say ANYTHING about how well he did WITHOUT a teleprompter.

[empyreanisles]

14. Sorry, but I have a huge crush on Andrea.

I don't want her to go anywhere, Botox or not. :)

[jenmito]

21. Alan Greenspan-is that you?

I guess there's no accounting for taste. :shrug:

[empyreanisles]

26. LOL. Nah, I dunno. She has a very sexy voice, IMHO.

[butterfly77]

16. They are placing Shuster in the 3-5 slot...

but they should put Norah O'Donnell in Andrea mitchell's spot, she is unwatchable...

[jenmito]

I know...

but I don't think he'll be going solo the whole time. And I agree, Norah would be better than Andrea. ANYONE (but the Morning Joe crew) would be better than her.

[lamp_shade]

19. Shuster is a good guy, but he doesn't hold a candle to Andrea.

[jenmito]

22. Really? You like watching her and listening to her?

[lamp_shade]

24. Yes... most because of her intelligent and accurate reporting. I've always admired her.

[jenmito]

27. She is a good reporter which does not make her a good news anchor. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

30. True, plus I wish the woman would eat a little more.

The skeleton in our Biology Lab has more substance that that cute but bony little lady. :shrug:

[ShortnFiery]

28. Excellent suggestion! Could we also have Stephanie Miller and "The Mooks" replace Mourning Ho-Jo?

:-)

[ShortnFiery]

29. p.s. Voice Deity Jim Ward could do his excellent sections within "Tinsel Talk" and "Stand-up News"

And WTH, Chris Lavoy could take Willie's place. :-)

Check out "Stand-up News" audio for today? ... It's funny! ... especially "Dear Leader"

31. Not likely to happen....

Despite your personal preference, the fact that Joe is coming in second vs. last in the demos that matter means he's doing something right.

My guess is that Joe did better rating-wise than Miller when she had the morning slot during the "find the replacement roulette" which is why he's there now.

[ShortnFiery]

32. You're right but I don't get it. Joe is like one of my right wing brothers - irritating as hell

but because he can schmooze people like him. It's INSANE. The man has no redeeming qualities but the rest of his club house walk on egg shells to keep him happy. Nope, I don't get it at all. :shrug:

However, IMO, Stephanie Miller ROCKS! :loveya:

[jenmito]

33. I wish! n/t

[TexasObserver]

35. He's great. She's terrible. Good move by MSNBC.

Their daytime (9am to 5pm Eastern) news has been a joke for a long time. It's been eight hours of idiots, literally unwatchable. From Mika to Contessa, it's been a sad joke of a news channel all day.
