And she looks like she’s passing a kidney stone throughout the segment.

remark
Too emotional? WTF. Are we to suppose that you never see Amy Goodman or Bill Moyers on MSNBC because they’re too emotional? And that Pat Buchanan is not “too emotional?” Wow, am I ever confused!

The look on the faces of david, tamryn, and the clownhall idiot was priceless. It’s rare for them to hear the truth. Way to go Marcy!

Wow! I can’t believe Marcy said Dick Cheney and DOD in the same sentence on live TV. Call-in the FCC…and Howie Kurtz.

I hope this prompts LOTS of contributions to the Marcy Fund.

A good way to encourage more of “such language.”

First it was the wardrobe malfunction, now the mouth-malfunction.
Everyone has had one. Relax.

Is that a joke? Too much emotion=kicked off BigMedia?

Please. JoeScar, Pat Spewcannon, all of Pox Newz, etc. have outbursts daily. I mean real freakouts and all sorts of outrageous stuff, such as Spewcannon’s recent calling for the Wrangling and murder of Sayrah Paylin’s sorta son-in-law.

People really need to start understanding that BigMedia does NOT want people on-air that bust up the Conventional Wisdom the BigMedia owners work so hard to create. They want and NEED John Q. Nascar to continue voting in politicians who will enact legislation that hurts Mr. Nascar’s own self-interests. Otherwise, and educated electorate will radically alter the entire gamed system.

They throw some bones here and there so they can claim they’re legit news organizations, but the second someone like Marcy or Garofalo do something they can seize upon, they use that as an excuse to get them kicked off for the most part using standards they do not apply to the BigMedia fluffers who fill 98% of the air-time.

Marcy, Jane, etc have difficult times getting air time not because they’re too emotional. It’s because they’re too dangerous.

It’ll probably increase their viewership. Marcy had better reconsider this tactic as it might help MSM instead of bloggeria.

Miss Hepburn was tutored by the reclusive, testosterone-driven Howard Hughes and the brilliant, but alcoholic Spencer Tracy. She was intimately familiar with the term and the practice. Had it been the most appropriate word choice – she had many to choose from – necessary to make her point most deliciously, she would not have hesitated to use it, in real life if not on television.

That David Brooks, for example, couldn’t stop tittering at the thought, and that he wouldn’t dare use it himself, does not make him more cultured or intellectually honest or the politics he sells less brutal.
