MSNBC Moves Olbermann, Matthews, and Maddow Around in 4 MPG Monstrosity

Those affected by 30 Rock's budget cuts, such as the producers who were told they would not be needed at this year's two presidential conventions, will be pleased to know MSNBC is shuttling its high-profile talent around in a Cadillac Escalade stretch limousine. Reports the Observer: 'Keith Olbermann took photos as the massive, tricked-out partymobile swallowed the MSNBC political panel whole: Michelle Bernard and Eugene Robinson, Pat Buchanan and Rachel Maddow. The inside of the stretch Escalade had the pundits in stitches. There were Champagne glasses, leather seats, tinted windows, disco lights, and outrageously cheesy, curvy everything. “It’s like Battlestar Galactica in here,” said Ms. Maddow. “This is how MSNBC rolls out.”'

Riding around Denver in a prom-mobile is important, of course, because it shows MSNBC is one of the big boys and that it can play hardball with the other networks.

Hope everything in NYC and D.C. is just swell!

If you want a reality check, check out MSNBC's ratings, which are in the tank. No one is watching. And everyone hates their anchors, who act more like morons than journalists. Half of them should be fired. The programming is tired. The shows are tired. There's very little real journalism. Half of them don't know what the hell they're talking about. No one's doing any real reporting. No research. No documentation. False statements. Bias. Slant. This is journalism? No, it's not. Yet, someone paid for a gas-guzzling limousine for hotheads who no one is watching. It's no wonder NBC is considering layoffs, buyouts and firings just to save money. What a complete, total waste of time, money, resources and energy. Someone should be fired.
