Tonight, the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud

For your viewing pleasure, here's the notorious Connie Chung singing signoff from her last show at MSNBC. If you're looking for snark, look elsewhere; I always enjoy Connie Chung's multimedia x-periments, and it's a small measure of cable's richness that the medium can handle both 24-hour news and a full-on Donizetti mad scene. My only beef is that the guy at the piano isn't really playing—which leaves the small-screen siren struggling, like Baby Jane Hudson, to fill up the silence of her own echoing mental universe. But even that may ultimately enhance the effect. I wish Connie and Mr. Chung the best in whatever they try next. One thing's for certain: When The Situation finally gets the axe, Tucker Carlson will have a high bar to clear.

Don't know whether to laugh or cry. I remember always thinking she and MP were a mismatched couple, but certainly think so less after watching that.

So what do you think...under the influence at all? Even just a teensy bit? I say yes.

As bad as that was, it was pretty cruel to leave her singing acapella.

Why was there a guy seated at the piano if he wasn't going to play it? That was the weirdest fucking part to me. Am I missing some reference?

[Highway]

Actually, the guy seemed to be playing the piano, it was just very poorly mic'd. Maybe she's overly loud, or just a really crummy ambient microphone, but even when she moved it 3 inches away from her mouth the sound level dropped a long way, so I'm guessing you just couldn't hear the piano on the recording.

Eventually every person in the United States will have a short-lived show on MSNBC.

Brian, I already had one a couple of years ago. All I have from that experience is a picture of me and the Pro Libertate Dancers--aka the Free Fems.

[sage +P]

You made me ruv you - I didn't want to do it.

[Pi Guy]

I'm gouging out my eyes and puncturing my eardrums right now!

[zener]

Please please get that damn Coulter advertisement off the site. I'm very close to slitting my wrists and stabbing my f**king eyes out with a spoon.

[Eric the .5b]

Zener - get it straight. You gouge your eyes out with spoons, not stab.

Or you use Adblock.

OH MY GOD WAS THAT A NIPPLE IS SAW POPING OUT!!!!

[kmw]

In the long history of visual entertainment, that's got to be the lowest point achievable. Holy shit in a flaming doggy bag, that was bad.

I may need therapy now.

[tomWright]

somehow the thought of tucker carlson in a sequined evening gown has it's appeal.

Not sure what the appeal is, but it's there.

[gaijin]

Did she get up after that?

Seriously, I gotta love anyone who can be so obviously lacking in self-seriousness. Refereshing to see a 'celebrity' exhibit the YouTube that's in all of us.

On the upside, I can now scratch "seeing Connie Chung wear a strapless dress and opera gloves while lying on a piano, kicking her legs in the air, and wiggling her butt in my directions" off my list of Fantasies I Need to Have Fulfilled.
