MSNBC's Contessa Brewer, a former news reader on Don Imus' show, telling pals at Cain that she thinks Imus is a "cantankerous old fool" who doesn't know how to relate to "beautiful women" . . .


ANYBODY HAVE A TICKET?
DISGRACED former White House reporter/male escort Jeff Gannon can't believe no one has invited him to tomorrow's White House Correspondents Dinner. "It seems to me to be odd to exclude the one person who has brought more attention to the White House press corps than anyone else in years," Gannon tells PAGE SIX's Jared Paul Stern. "Probably many who would want to extend such an invitation already assume I will be in attendance." Gannon, whose real name is James Guckert, quit his job with the conservative Talon News earlier this year after his fake name, lack of journalistic qualifications and male escort connections came to light. The dinner usually features several stars and sensational guests such as Paula Jones to liven things up. The sub-par star lineup this year includes Robert Duvall, Burt Reynolds, Randy Quaid, Ron Silver, Patricia Heaton and Anne Hathaway.


DON'T EXAGGERATE
BO Dietl, the former police detective who became a private eye, must have delusions of grandeur. His new book, "Business Lunchatations," is subtitled, "How an Everyday Guy Became One of America's Most Powerful CEOs . . . and How You Can, Too." However successful Dietl may be, he is not one of America's most powerful CEOs. The book features "networking tips, stories and conversations between Bo and his friends" — such as Jack Welch, Donny Deutsch, Bill O'Reilly, Roger Ailes and Warren Buffett. We assume they knew they were being tape-recorded. Having written about Dietl periodically over the years, we were irked to see Chapter 5: "Why pay to advertise your business when the media will do it for you for free?" The book comes with a CD for those who move their lips when they read. He'll launch the book Tuesday at Elaine's.

1. I turned on MSNBC this morning and heard Imus and his gang just

railing mercilessly on some MSNBC female anchor - I never heard them say her name. Now I know who they were talking about. They were just being cruel.

Lovely as usual.:eyes:

2. Go Contessa!

Imus is calling her a "supid slut" this morning (amazing how MSNBC lets him badmouth their anchors)

I can!'t imagine purchasing a book written by a man who can't speak English

3. ROFL at Gannon/Guckert's comment

"It seems to me to be odd to exclude the one person who has brought more attention to the White House press corps than anyone else in years," Gannon tells PAGE SIX's Jared Paul Stern. "Probably many who would want to extend such an invitation already assume I will be in attendance."

Now that 'Gannon's' real profession is out in the open, there is nobody who is going to invite him as their guest unless they want to answer the question, "Are you paying the going rate or do you get a discount?" lol

4. Did you see Gannon on Dietl's show and hear what he said to Gannon

He was talking to him about something and then Dietl says to him and i kid you not "Well you suck on Johnnypumps and it makes no difference to me Jeff" and Gannon is sitting there and he looked like shocked.

5. How ironic that a gossip columnist comes closest to getting it right

...Gannon, whose real name is James Guckert, quit his job with the conservative Talon News earlier this year after his fake name, lack of journalistic qualifications and male escort connections came to light...
Why does everyone keep describing Gannon as HAVING "ties" or "connections" to gay prostitution? He WAS tied/connected to gay prostitution! He freaking plastered nude pics of himself all over a web site that he ADMITS to registering--complete with rates and quotes from satisfied customers! If it's a legal thing, surely it's legal to say that he once ADVERTISED HIMSELF as a gay escort, or had past INVOLVEMENT with gay prostitution!

6. Gannon/Guckert is desperate and pathetic

Calling Judith Regan!!! Tell all, Jeffy James!

[rocktivity]

8. Unfortunately for Gannon , he's lost his "tell all" leverage

He's been insinuating that he's kept "records" and has a book deal. But with the release of the Secret Service logs, anything he produces that does not explain his White House comings and goings (if you pardon the expression) is going to to sting like a butterfly, not to mention hurt the Bush empire.

11. Judith has moved to evil, Democratic, Hollywood

Amazing how these asshole diss the Hollywood elites, but want to live in their world, nonetheless!

13. Imus is an arrogant, stupid old fool that does nothing but

suck up to celebrities when then are on the show, rail against them behind their backs, puff up his own feeble ego and has a whole stable full of jerkoffs and morons to sit around and made stupid comments for 3 hours every day on MSNBC.

Contessa was actually trying to give the news each day and Imus couldn't shut up for one damn minute to let her say a word. Every damn day. She finally got to where she was coming back at him during his comments and I'm pretty sure his fragile little ego couldn't handle it. For a "big" celebrity he sure does have thin skin when someone reports something negative about him (Wall Street Journal wrote something about the Ranch and Imus was ballistic - went on about it for days and days and days!) but doesn't mind playing the hate card when it suits him.

I personally dislike Imus - he doesn't offer a thing to the world except a bunch of sycophants who kiss his ass every day. The only reason I ever turned over there in the morning was the advertise "news updated every 15 minutes" that MSNBC is so fond of promoting. Imus is the weakest spot on the whole MSNBC line up and you have to go some to get that distinction on that network!

9. Imus has an asinine schtick

...where he beats up and disregards his female newsreader, usually a junior newbee. Contessa may be young and pretty, but she has done her time in the barrel, and does not deserve to be treated like shit. She refuses to play, and he keeps bugging her, and she throws it right back at him, while retaining her dignity.

It sucks being low man, or woman, on the totem pole. The other MSNBC newsreaders who have been stuck with him have taken the late shift and weekends to get the fuck away from that jerk, and I cannot say I blame them. They'll make Contessa suffer for a few months more, but eventually she will be rewarded for her pain...and pain it is!

10. Contessa Brewer is ugly...

and obviously full of herself. I never liked her. Imus may be a goon, but his show works for me. This is not a defense of him, but more of a problem with her.

12. I think she is lovely and classy

She won't get down in the dirt, and why should she? Keep in mind, she is not a reporter, she is a newsreader. She speaks clearly, doesn't screw up the copy, pronounces the names right, cuts to the breaks on time, and can recover if the clowns in the booth screw up on a bit of tape or drop a phone connection. I think she has a healthy degree of self esteem, and I think Imus is a misogynist.
