Ronna Romney appears to be out at NBC after less than a Scaramucci.
We're happy about that, because Ronna deserves everything bad that can happen to her. But we're not rushing back to MSNBC or cable news anytime soon. The Ronna hire was not only outrageous and objectionable in and of itself, but let's be honest — the on-air uproar seemed contrived. Chuck Todd's contract ends this year, so he had nothing to lose by calling out his bosses. Kristen Welker has had no credibility since she kicked off hosting Meet the Press by interviewing Benedict Donald. Even the protests lodged by MSNBC's other anchors will not change the fact that its parent network will owe, and will pay, a lot of money to a criminal. And it's not clear that anybody in the media has learned a lesson.
Which makes us crazy. So let's focus on some other important stories that are headlining the news today.
We hope that Governor Wes Moore's first phone call this morning was to Governor Josh Shapiro, who has deep experience in quickly fixing broken things. (Knowing, of course, that the Francis Scott Key Bridge is a little bit bigger than that highway overpass in Philadelphia.) Is Maersk prepared for the staggering lawsuits that are coming their way?
The judge in Benedict Donald's Stormy Daniels criminal case has just gagged him. How sweet! As legal beagles have pointed out, while it's not unusual for judges to issue such orders in due course, Judge Juan Merchan hastened to sign and issue it today — right after Trump publicly went after Michael Cohen and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's staff. Oh, and the judge's daughter. Does Donald not realize that Merchan could send him to jail if he's convicted? (Or if he violates the gag order? Hm!)
Meanwhile, Trump is now selling "God Bless the USA" Bibles. We were all set to hack up hairballs about that until we saw Liz Cheney's snappy response: "Happy Holy Week, Donald," she tweeted at him. "Instead of selling Bibles, you should probably buy one. And read it, including Exodus 20:14." (That's the commandment that Trump broke when he had sex with Stormy Daniels.)
Finally, we debated about sharing this horrific photo of Kimberly Guilfoyle from an event at Mar-A-Lago this past weekend. But it's so symbolic of everything that's terrible about Trump and his world. Guilfoyle, who was once married to California Governor Gavin Newsom and who used to look normal, is clearly unwell. We despise her, but find this picture disturbing. And we HISS.
