America's favorite espionage-fighting moose once looked at Rocky and said (make sure you think this in his voice), "I think I will now be sick". Bullwinkle must have been talking about what I just witnessed on television.
MSNBC, whom I watch on a regular basis because of their political coverage, featured Stephen A. Smith as a political commentator. Go ahead. Let that sink in for a moment.
Steven A. Smith, political analyst. A few moments more. Really, let it burn into your brain and sink to your feet. Which are likely on the floor. Which is where MSNBC's credibility just went, and even a little further below ground level.
The man is a clown without the makeup, a screaming Shannon Sharpe without the humor, Britney without the entertainment value, a repository for verbal excrement without a holding tank.
His sports comments are quite often done in a screaming fashion due to the lack of any reason or investigatory facts behind them. Watching or listening to him on television or radio has the appeal of listening to badgers being tortured or the appeal of accidentally being fed gym socks in place of filet. And now MSNBC has decided to use him as a political analyst.
Save us, Bullwinkle. Get Rocky in that chair. Or Boris Badanov with Natasha in something seductive standing behind him.
That or banish him forever to Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. Now THAT's TV I'd like to see.
