So MSNBC had a segment today about whether or not there’s animosity toward Obama based on race. They had a whole bunch of guests on, most of whom were getting very heated and in the top right corner of the screen there was Maria Bartiromo, silent. She had something to say but wasn’t sure how to fit it in. Then, at the three minute mark, she hears her cue! Michael Dyson has just asked if anyone used racial rhetoric toward Bill Clinton or George Bush when they were in office. The wheels start to turn. Literally, watch as the eyes dart back and forth. This is her moment– she came armed with an anecdote about Erin Burnett calling Bushy a ‘monkey’ almost two years ago– and damn it she’s going to use it! Fuck it if it doesn’t make sense since calling a white man a monkey isn’t racist, and what Erin meant was that he was stupid! Fuck it, MB says! She’s going to bring this up, this super awkward slip o’ the tongue that got her competition in some trubs at the time. If you don’t want to jump all over it, and run with it, and ask your viewers if Erin Burnett hates white people, that’s your problem, Joe Scarborough. Go on with the Coltan!

@1 no one cares. erin burnett is racist.
I also hate Kanye.
Maria Bartiromo is a genius. One of the greats.
-jim cramer.
cat fight
My video is better than Maria’s. Kanye said so.
Beyonce
Maria Bartiromo doesn’t care about white people.
her face is priceless
Back in the day, we were ostracized in the canteen on studio property during filming of the “Wizard of Oz”.
~Former Flying Monkey Association
she’s dumper than a pile of bricks but man can she give a beej.
-todd t
“on THIS program.” she said it on THIS program. fuckin bitch be talking shit on this program!
erin burnett refers to white people as crackers.
-maria bartiromo
So, does this mean she does anal?
erin burnett is such a jackass.
-bho
Why are we calling everyone a “racist” now? Jeez, only so many people can race for NASCAR or race in marathons and the Grand Prix. Don’t call someone a “racist” unless they actually do.

If any of you pansies want to see what a real man looks like, I’ll be modeling in the Zubaz show at Fashion Week.

Maria, you ignorant slut.
they look so regal in that vid.
“Well there’s one thing you won’t like, Private Snowball! They don’t serve fried chicken and watermelon on a daily basis in my mess hall!”
-Gunnery Sgt. Hartmann
The best part of this whole nonsense is that BHO isn’t even black—fuck, he’s HALF WHITE. Not even HALF WHITE, fucking MIDWEST KANSAS HALF WHITE. Fuck.
It’s fucking embarrassing these racist fucks aren’t immediately laughed off the stage, whether they refer to it as socialism, muslim, or whatever.
Throwing EB UNDER THE BUS!! The whole thing is being blown out of proportion. These types of political caricatures have been going on since the beginning of time. When Fred Flintstone ran for union leader at the rock pit, Barney called him a fatso….
is MB the one in the glasses?
Guinea bitch.
And all this after Erin’s dumb “I don’t know about any POT ” comment this week………….
Fuck you, Texas.
Kanye
Was Maria suggesting that W is an African-American? Certainly this would add an entirely different complexion to the debate.
Maria was good and all, and I was going to let her “finish” me, but in came Erin, and it was one of the greatest of all time!
Anybody know when the One Tree Hill season premiere is?
Maria: “Hey Erin…how do you stop 4 black dudes from rapin’ a white chick?”
Erin: “Fuck you, Maria.”
Maria: “Throw em’ a basketball.”
is it me, or did mb look like a deer caught in the headlights with those eyes darting back and forth? damn, she looked like that person in class who just had to put in their $0.02 before the bell rang. and what the hell is she doing on “mornging joe”, she knows the “real” joe hates that guy! trader.
@29 There are 5 guys on a hoops team. Where’s the 5th? Driving to the hole?
Jimmy Carter is a racist against Yankees.
This has nothing to do with how sexy Beck Quick’s lazy brown eye looked today.

Ms. Burnett may have been referring to the fact that GWB looks primordial – I mean he looks less evolved than other humans…There are whole websites devoted to this theory -
http://www.bushorchimp.com/
Obama does not look primordial – actually he looks advanced – Tall and lean – upright…
To insinuate that he is a monkey is pure racism…
@31, Awww hell, Naked, you’re right. I screwed up the Full Metal Jacket joke.
My foot locker is unlocked, too. If it wasn’t for dickheads like me we wouldn’t have thievery, would we?
May we infer from his gaffe that BBF is not a black man, or is not from Indiana, and therefore has never played basketball?
@Becky Boot; didn’t realize it was a quote from FMJ.
Anywho, don’t worry about the whole thievery thing. As long as capitalist pigs continue to run the greedy corporations and structure goods and services to take advantage of the uneducated and downtrodden thievery will always be celebrated in the form of evil corporate profits and bloated bonuses.
George W. Bush is Filipino, so Burnett is racist.
@36…spot on. I’m like a tampon…white, uptight and outta sight.
My circle jerk club’s called the Race ‘bators. True story.

“It’s like axing, asking”
hahaha…he caught himself.
Maria’s booty is better than Beyonce’s. Is that racist?
Testify Maria, testify!
I would much rather get my news from a trampy Italian than a colder-than-a-witch’s-tit airhead who is infatuated with bottoms – get your anal at home not at work EB…
@42 – not racist, but delusional.
This is Bullshit
-Bubbles
@ 43 Wait, you’d rather have a woozy coat-check girl with her ankles behind her ears than a steel safe whose tumblers you must adroitly spin again and again until maybe they click?
@42: do say that crap in front of Kanye – please.
maria has a big black booty, u nappy headed blackies
43/EB:
EB loves anal… and gifts, expensive gifts. See Men’s Health and “10 Ways to Make Me Swallow”
How quickly everyone forgets the context. The Bushmonkey memme had to do with comparisons of Bush’s appearance to a monkey. Mostly chimpanzees and the coincidentally named Curious George. You’ll likely be reminded of several e-mails that were circulating at the time as soon as you read this. Sweet Erin may have meant that Bush was stupid, but the comparison has it’s origins in a physical comparison.
This is not to diminish the fact that the monkey comparison is a highly offensive one where black people are concerned. It is not an apples to apples comparison, but they are both insulting comparisons based upon physical appearance.
@42 keep it real, maria has an ass that will swallow up a g string
@42, 51
Her ass looks like 20 pounds of cottage cheese stuffed in a Zip Lock sandwich bag.
I feel it necessary to reprimand all of you re: racism. Honky Jackasses!
@Naked – that’s an awful image and even worse smell if left in a car under the Texan sun.
Bush was not a monkey, he was a chimp.
@31 – He’s executing the back-door play.
@ 52-That is one way to kill someone’s appetite.
How funny is that calling Erin racist? What she meant by that’s because GB screwed up country’s economy.In fact, monkey is a better description or else it could have been worse, so Erin is not racist.
@50: thanks for the nice and sweetly articulated clarification – now go blow a monkey.
Erin and Melissa Lee girl/girl: Discuss.
Naked you forgot to add “looked like it had been hit with a bag of nickles!”
@naked – I like a golf reference, as in her @ss has more dimples than my pro-v1′s.
btw – handbrige tee went over with flying colors in vegas. I got a few buy orders, but had to tell them that the shirt was sold out.
@tax chicky – you needed a texan? I’m here…
@4, @40, @52: FTW, split three-way.
@investor Handbridge is the gift that keeps on giving.
The weird EB reference says “premeditated strike” but the bag of cottage cheese says “I was once a holy cow at the Todd Mahal”
Did I hear a “tea bagger” reference at the 0:40 mark?
Rep. B. Frank (D- MA)
@60/Chazzy, It would only be girl/girl if Erin B. were a girl.
Maria Bartiromo hates real professional women!!
In fact Erin should thank Maria for the love because Maria showed that she FEARS Erin.
And because of that Erin’s going to be more successful and accomplish all that Maria ever dreamed of and more.
if an interviewer sees the same resume, but sees Black Student Association on one and White Phi White on the other, but pics the fratty dude. what would that be?
likewise if a person says they don’t trust BHO and think he’s lying about his citizenship, what would that be?
that’s MED’s point. but the commentators can’t understand that logic.
has nothing to do with approval ratings or political ideaologies.
the point is people have inherent biases that rooted in race and oftentimes they don’t even know it.
be honest, are you more nervous around a white homeless man or a black one?
that guy Carter was very defensive. admit the fact that racism exists in America.
Michael Dyson — tell me he didn’t really say …”like axing an abused woman…” then recovered with “asking” !
