Report: MSNBC and Keith Olbermann to Meet About Possible Return

Mediaite is reporting the possible return of Keith Olbermann to MSNBC, jump starting his “Countdown” program and using the 8pm time slot currently occupied by Chris Hayes. In an exclusive posting, Joe Concha at Mediaite states;

A well-placed source now informs me that a meeting has been set between Olbermann and Lack to discuss his return to the network and his old 8:00 PM slot. This arrangement was something that Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell first wrote about as a rumor in July; when asked for comment, a network executive with knowledge close to the situation tells me, “It is patently untrue.”

Said source indicates the impetus for the conversation is to jumpstart sagging ratings under Hayes, which despite an Emmy win this year has been a consistent drag on the rest of primetime since launching on April Fools Day in 2013. At one point this year in May, the show averaged only 74k in the demo, making it the worst performing MSNBC program at 8:00 PM since 2005. And given Olbermann is now a free agent after leaving ESPN again in July (Note: on good terms if the company’s farewell statement is any indication), he appears to be the only remedy for Lack.

Republican Kevin McCarthy Stars in Hillary Clinton’s New Ad – Video

When the Republican House Majority Leader opened his mouth last week and admitted the only reason for the Benghazi Committee was to bring down Hillary Clinton’s approval numbers, he had no idea he was staring in an ad in support of Hillary Clinton.

In an interview on Fox News, Kevin McCarthy proclaimed, “Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right? But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her [poll] numbers today?”

And today, Clinton thanked the Republican, Kevin McCarthy, with this brand spanking new ad. I’m wondering how much Kevin got paid for this.

George Zimmerman Retweets Photo of Trayvon Martin’s Dead Body

And from the slime of the earth I bring you another George Zimmerman story. Although in this story, Zimmerman – the Florida man who murdered 17-year-old Trayvon Martin – is actually saying that he didn’t mean to do what he clearly did, retweeting a the picture of the dead teen’s body, a picture taken after Zimmerman shot and killed Martin.

I can only assume that someone or a number of people pointed out how disgraceful this tweet and retweet was, ’cause I am of the belief that George Zimmerman is too dumb to figure it out on his own. He later issued this statement stating that he didn’t mean to retweet the photo.

Yea Zimmerman, that is totally understandable. You see a photo of someone you killed and you share it around the world by mistake? Yea, okay…!

For what it’s worth, here is Zimmerman’s statement:

Trevor Noah Calls Out The GOP Hypocrisy – They are Selectively Pro-Life

Trevor Noah, the new host of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show, is picking up right where Jon Stewart left off – showing off with great ease, the hypocrisy of those in politics, namely, the Republican party.

On Monday’s show, Noah called out the Republicans for their hypocrisy when it comes to being “pro-life.” According to Noah, Republicans are only pro-life when it comes to the unborn, but when it comes to guns and the mass murders they cause, well, like Jeb Bush said, “stuff happens.”

Black Boy Suspended from School for Staring at White Girl – Video

According to the 12 year old boy, it was a staring contest and the girl was “laughing” the whole time. But when the girl’s parents found out that a black boy was staring at their daughter, the boy was suspended from school the next day.

“I never knew she was scared because she was laughing,” the boy wrote in an apology letter. “I understand I done the wrong thing that will never happen again. I will start to think before I do so I am not in this situation.”

The incident happened at a school in Glendale, Ohio. The boy’s parents files a lawsuit against the school claiming their child was denied due process, but a judge dismissed the suit and the suspension was upheld.

According to a statement from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati:

Judge Patrick Dinkelacker listened to the plaintiff’s arguments yesterday, rejected them, and dismissed the complaint against the school.  We aren’t going to comment any further on particular issues concerning our students.

11 Year Old Charged With Murder – Kills his 8 Year Old Neighbor

Don’t be silly, he didn’t buy the guy. He got it from his father – another Responsible gun owner!

An 11-year-old boy has been charged with murder after he killed his 8-year-old neighbor, police said, and witnesses say it was because the girl wouldn’t let him see her puppy.

Deputies were called to the neighborhood in White Pine, about 40 miles east of Knoxville, on Saturday night. The boy shot the girl from inside his home with his father’s 12-gauge shotgun, said Jefferson County Sheriff Bud McCoig.
Latasha Dyer told WATE-TV (http://bit.ly/1KWbDPA) her daughter was playing outside when the next-door neighbor asked to see the puppy. McKayla told the boy “no,” and he shot her, Dyer said. A neighbor, Misty Edwards, said her niece was playing with the girl and saw what happened.

“She was a precious little girl. She was a mommy’s girl. No matter how bad of a mood you were in she could always make you smile,” Dyer told the station. “I want her back in my arms.”
