  • WHO’S THE MSM NOW? “Prominent conservative commentator and RedState.com editor Erick Erickson will join CNN as a political contributor, appearing primarily on CNN’s new show John King, USA, the network announced Tuesday.” He’ll be the guy who gets SLIMED before every commercial break! [CNN]

So, “political contributor” is the new code word for “oral manure spreader?”

I’ll give it up to Spitting Image-puppet-come-to-life John King, I didn’t think there was a non-comatose person on the planet that could make him look halfway reasonable and intelligent. Well played, sir, and congrats to your tens of regular viewers who are in for the treat of a lifetime.

I don’t go on Red State, but you’d think that girl with the website who desires men older than her would be spamming them; after all most of the people who read that stuff are either grandfathers or would be if any girl allowed them to father a child with them.
You’d think she’d find better luck there than here.

And congratulations to the word “prominent” on its impending meaninglessness.

All I can come up with is: Man, I fucking hate CNN.

Let’s TP their houses.

Erick the Red will lead his teabagger mob to insurrection and victory!

RedState.com is one of them there “blog” things, right? Why would anyone think that bloggers have anything to contribute? Will he wear pajamas? Is he as cute as OW AMC on Rachel?

Howard Beale told you so.

Remember, this CNN, the greatly bastion of liberal bias in the media! As proven by their hiring of that liberal guy; um, whatshisname, you know, the far-left CNN dude.

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 16, 2010 at 4:36 pm

Wow, that’s Erick Erickson? Well, that’s two burning questions answered: 1) who is Ross Douthat’s boyfriend, and 2) what does a doughy pantload look like?

Jukesgrrl March 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm

They must be paying Donna Brazile a boat-load of cash to keep her in a studio that’s so full of shit.

More important question: Why is March For America’s ad giving me fashion tips?

ManchuCandidate March 16, 2010 at 4:39 pm

I’d rather see the hologram.

Bearbloke March 16, 2010 at 4:47 pm

So Erick the Redbaiter is part of the Liberal-elite Blow-dried Metrosexual Main-stream Media now?

S.Luggo March 16, 2010 at 4:48 pm

Eric being hired under CNN’s affirmative action program to employ more gingers. Will this liberal-guilt crap never end?

iwillsavethispatient March 16, 2010 at 4:52 pm

What a sell-out. Now he’ll have to wear make-up on the show, so he can cover up his faux-libertarian principles. Lets all buy this makeup from Amazon* and send it to him. That will show him!

* Full disclosure, Amazon will profit from this stupid stunt.

Yes You Can Own A Piece of History March 16, 2010 at 5:02 pm

Another reason to never, ever watch CNN.

SayItWithWookies March 16, 2010 at 5:05 pm

[re=531747]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: I think we should send him sub rolls full of fake pubic hair, since Erick son of Erick is a real merkin hero.

Extemporanus March 16, 2010 at 5:06 pm

[re=531747]iwillsavethispatient[/re]: Or, relatedly, let’s protest Erickson’s coupling with King by sending him a bunch of queens.

(If you’re not in an area where queens are easy to come by — such as SF, NYC, or Ken’s property — I’m pretty sure you can order them from Amazons.com.)

queeraselvis v 2.0 March 16, 2010 at 5:17 pm

[re=531771]Extemporanus[/re]: CNN’s in Atlanta, so it shouldn’t be a problem finding a bunch of queens.

iwillsavethispatient March 16, 2010 at 5:21 pm

[re=531770]SayItWithWookies[/re]: [re=531771]Extemporanus[/re]: Look at us, just like the Tea Party, splitting into 3 different camps. Makes me feel like a true PAY-triot.

Extemporanus March 16, 2010 at 5:58 pm

[re=531792]queeraselvis v 2.0[/re]: He’ll RuPaul the day!

bryanfuller March 16, 2010 at 6:43 pm

[re=531770]SayItWithWookies[/re]: yes that’s true…!

I should have majored in political flatulence. Damn! CNN?

mumblyjoe March 16, 2010 at 10:59 pm

You know, I’ve been trying to figure out all day, whether it was Fishermangate or Purplewristbandgate that constituted Andrew Breitbart’s (successful!) attempt at bringing down the Institutional Left. But, now I know the truth: it’s actually [url="http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201003160059"]Erickckckkk Erickson on CNN, somehow, via teabaggers.[/url]
