"Maybe they could all have a reality TV show----title: "You're All Fired." .....Yeah, start out with a 1000 people and fire 20% per week and on the fifth week, "The Rest of you, are all fired!" Donald Trump is busy. We need another "firer"---maybe we can get Marty "Fire" Fierro ?

"I was told the company had been sold and the new owner was greeted at the airport by the president a day or two before. He was asked for his credit cards and keys to the company car. They left him at the airport and sent all his stuff to him in a box via ups. I presume they changed all the locks, sparing him the indignity of handing over keys to the company."
A joke in many industries was if you flew back to your home office and were supposed to meet at the Red Carpet Lounge or a similiar place in the Airport instead of going into the home office site. You might just be fired.
They knew you wouldn't have a gun or weapon in the Airport. They would meet you in a secure meeting room in the Red Carpet Lounge or a similiar place. They would terminate you, take your corporate id and credit cards away and give you a one way ticket home on the next flight out and take away the ticket you had to go home.

LOL.
This is much better than any TV show.

Kaplan" "I couldn't be more proud of the progress we've made together over the last 2 and a half years. Together, we've increased MSNBC's viewership 25% in primetime and 19% in dayside."
Yeppers, Rick I couldn't agree more. 25% and 19% of nuthin is still nuthin.

DAMN, I was waiting for Kaplan to ride this one in to the "Big Crunching Sound" as MSNBC nosed over and dived in the ratings. Rick Kaplan: Eject.
Chris Matthews: Eject?
Rick Kaplan: Eject.
Keith Olberman: Erect? I'll need some time, some porn and a Viagra.
Rick Kaplan: Eject.
Black Box Recorder: CRUNCH...

Wasn't it Don Hewitt at 60 Minutes that helped the Clintons?
I realize all those scumbags look alike after a while, but I think it was Hewitt. He bragged to them about how he helped JFK over Nixon.
It's admissions like that which buried CBS News' credibility. Nobody would ever consider those two cases of media interference in the political process "fair and balanced".
That's why Fox is kicking ass. They make the effort to be fair and balanced. As a result (1) people don't laugh at them when they say "fair and balanced" and (2) people watch.

Chris Matthews ought to follow suit and resign too. The guy is the biggest idiot on MSNBC and he has a lot of competition.

You might be right about that, Kaplan had his hands in so many things Clinton it's hard to keep them all straight. Here is the Front Page Article that has his Biography and all the Clinton stuff he's involved in.... wouldn't shock me to see him work for Hillary the next two years.

"Period Of Impressive Growth"......how can we translate?
"Growth that was shockingly small"
"Growth that was no growth at all (i.e., it was shrinkage)"
"The period was short...we picked up two viewers who were stranded overnight at the bus terminal."
