Smerconish is a funny name. Poor bastard first came on CNN’s airwaves during the full-retard MH370 coverage. I’m amazed he’s still around.
I thought that was some sort of Soviet counter-espionage outfit?
I thought it was the name of a Bond villian organization.
Both
Rosa Klebb: Corporal, I have chosen you for an important assignment. It’s purpose is to give false information to the enemy. If you complete it successfully, you will be promoted.
[referring to a picture of James Bond]
Rosa Klebb: From now on, you will do anything he says.
Robby Soave: And if I refuse?
Rosa Klebb: [icily] Then you will not leave this room alive.
Robby Soave: I will obey your orders.
Rosa Klebb: Good. These are your instructions. You’ll report to me here. But the Consulate Security Man must not know that I am in Istanbul. This is classified *far* above his level.
Robby Soave: I will say nothing to…
Rosa Klebb: If you do you will be SHOT!
[slams her cane hard against Tatiana’s chair]
Rosa Klebb: [flirtatiously] Come, come, my dear.
[Starts rubbing her shoulders]
Rosa Klebb: You are very fortunate to have been chosen for such a simple, delightful duty. A real labour of love, as they say.
SMERSH, or “death to spies.” Named by Stalin himself.
What the hell is a Smerconish?
You’ve got a little on your cheek….

Oh, the irony: Sabrina Erdely Was Once Disciplined By Stephen Glass For Fabrication
That’s beyond mockery. That’s just perfect.
She’s really blown her career out of the water. I think her only option may be to write a total spill-the-beans confessional and hope Hollywood buys the rights.
Yep. She should do a Jason Whatisname, erstwhile NYT reporter.
“9 am ET Saturday”
Well, that should really hit its target demographic of “people coming to grips with the tail end of a coke binge” and “8yr olds whose Television is stuck for some reason on CNN but they can’t find the remote control so just sit there and cry”
Don’t forget, “people on layovers from early first leg flights”
