Follow-up to an earlier post, Why wasn’t this guy fired? After a couple of weeks, Bashir has resigned from MSNBC. As Allahpundit puts it:
This is a guy who took Mormon-themed digs at Mitt Romney; brought on a shrink to analyze the allegedly violent, possibly psychotic tendencies of tea partiers; accused Republicans of treating the word “IRS” as a racist dog-whistle against Obama; and wondered if Rick Santorum wasn’t some sort of theocratic second coming of Stalin. When Steve Jobs died two years ago, he turned his on-air eulogy into an excuse to — ta da — bash Sarah Palin again. All of this is par for the course on MSNBC so imagine Bashir’s surprise, after all of that, upon finding out that introducing a little actual rhetorical scat into the figurative scat-flinging at righties was an unpardonable sin worthy of suspension.
I just say: Better late than never!
Goodbye Mr. Bashir, have a safe passage to Al Jeersatya. There, you find a home. Viewers, not so much, but a true home for your schtick.
My advice to Bashir: don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you.
And take “Tingles” Matthews and “Special Ed” Schultz with you.
Regards,
Peter H.
