For the record, I'm going to call him
Joey S for the remainder of this article because his name is really
hard to spell. I just thought you deserved to know that.
I don't get angry at Joey S for the
words he says on most mornings, not because I believe he's right.
Far from it. I believe he's one of the most wrong people in cable
news. However, he is more right than anyone at msnbc, outside of
S.E. Cup. Then again I forgive just about anything bad she says
because I'm a piggish male who only thinks of two things. I'm not
going to tell you what they both are, but at least one of them is
sex. I think about it a lot. Never do it though, its not that I
don't want to. It has more to do with the fact that women find me
repulsive and as a result I drink a lot.
It makes the sadness go away.
Back to my main point though, I don't
get angry at him because of the “think tank” he belongs to. When
you spend your life in a vacuum you have 2 options, become one of
them, or fight back. Keith Olbermann fought back and we saw where
that got him. A raise and a new network. Joey S doesn't want that.
Olbermann was just a jerk because of his nature, Joey is wrong
because of his nurture. The guy needs to get out of there before
it's too late.
I can picture him, and Mika in 10 years
wearing matching suits. Pontificating on Joe Biden's presidency. He
won't be president mind you, they will just devote 3 segments a week
on how “awesome it would be”.
In the second hour they will have a
segment called “what have I become” where Joey just cries and
drinks an entire box of wine. Mika comforts him, then on friday they
do a segment called “It's all for the paycheck” where they both
go to the bank, cash their checks, and then reflect on the life they
could have had; a bit more happy, and a bit less financially
comfortable.
p.s. I wouldn't mind that life. If
anyone is looking for a moderate republican, for $100,000+ a year I
can become one. I don't mind.
Out of curiosity, I'm going over to the MSNBC site and look for Joey S's column or whatever he's doing nowadays. I haven't seen or heard his name in such a long, long time, I'd completely forgotten him. (Maybe that was best?)
