Team Weigel rejoice – it didn’t take Dave Weigel very long to land on his feet after he resigned last week from The Washington Post.
Tonight at the end of Countdown, Keith Olbermann introduced new “MSNBC contributor” Dave Weigel.
Olbermann teased an announcement regarding Weigel throughout the program, and when he finally introduced his guest around 8:55pmET, he said, “We are very proud to announce is, as of like, I don’t know, 20 minutes ago, an MSNBC contributor. Welcome Dave…and you thought last week was fun, wait until you see what this week holds for you.”
Weigel’s segment was about an interview he did with Rick Barber (the guy behind this ad). Olbermann closed the interview by reiterating, “MSNBC contributor Dave Weigel, great thanks, as always, and good luck with this.”
He'll fit right in with the conservative-hating, all-white MSNBC and their low ratings.

No place to go but down for Weasel/Weigel now... MSNBC is a sinking ship if they're ever been one.
ReplyDeleteThe ratings suggest big changes are needed, so it's hard to imagine new owners Comcast not cleaning house after November... they don't have the same need to run a pro-Obama propaganda outlet as GE found so useful.
See ya at Wendy's, Dave!
