Martin Bashir on Double Secret Probation for attacking Sarah Palin? Updated: Bashir resigns from MSNBC

Vacation without pay?  

Update:
Bashir resigns from MSNBC!
Bashir, you're fired!
AoSHQ: Too much even for MSNBC
Instapundit: Accountability!
Legal Insurrection
TOM: Bashir resigns, dozens of viewers disappointed!

Just a reminder of when Andrew Breitbart was interviewed by Martin Bashir. http://t.co/2WvckjSIqY And it was EPIC!

TOM:  LGF's Charles Johnson blames the right wing lynch mob! 
Breitbart celebrates!

Not the first time Bashir was suspended (I see a pattern)

As New York magazine reported in a brief and little-noticed item, Bashir said that "I’m happy to be in the midst of so many Asian babes.” And, he added, “I’m happy that the podium covers me from the waist down.” He said a speech should be “like a dress on a a beautiful woman — long enough to cover the important parts and short enough to keep your interest — like my colleague Juju’s.” Some audience members booed, the magazine said.

TOM:  Ed Schultz tells the unions to get stuffed, he is going with management (he is not losing this gig over a bunch of losers)

Season Greetings from MSNBC:

He's Done: Alec Baldwin Rule 5

Baldwin Bashes Bashir!

This is probably the only thing that would get Bashir fired at MSNBC...

Alec Baldwin is actually sort of gracious to Sarah Palin here.  Then again, they are related.

Update:
Bill DeBlasio Blasts Baldwin about what he said...
Happy Thanksgiving Free Kate!
Alec Baldwin has blamed "the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy"* for his show being cancelled.

* also known as The Gay Mafia.

Wombat: Rule 5 Sunday

Separated at Birth: Alec Baldwin and...? With Bonus Rule 5 Baldwin!

 It looks like he is done...

No pardons for either
of these turkeys

Alec Baldwin supposedly said this about an MSNBC employee: “I don’t give a f - - k if she has cancer or not, I want that f - - king makeup room.”  Jeez, I haven't seen a freak out like that since Devine in Female Trouble.

I mean seriously, flipping out at a staffer who has cancer? Talk about mega asshole.

Daddy, it is not true, is it?

But as bad as Alec Baldwin is, at least he did not take this cancer patient's health care and doctors away...

Update:
Alec Baldwin is miffed that MSNBC axed him but kept coprophilic Martin Bashir...

Bonus Rule 5 Baldwin:

For women and gay men who like their bird spoiled and unpalatable...

TOM: Baldwin show cancelled, dozens of viewers disappointed...

Wombat: Rule 5 Sunday

Martin Bashir makes a monkey out of himself again...

Poo Throwing is the MSNBC way: Martin Bashir is not that evolved as a journalist...

And I do not mean that in a racist way (before anyone suggests that), but in a lack of professionalism, sensationalist, whore-mongering way that Bashir has done his entire career.  And this is my opinion, you are free to draw your own conclusions.  

More Bashir bloviations...

MSNBC is completely hypocritical and Martin Bashir is a jeering idiot: How soon we forget how George W. Bush was treated...

The Blaze had this video below.  First of all there is nothing unpatriotic (and certainly not racist) about questioning our leaders.  Suggesting that Barack Obama should be treated differently than any other president is racist.  The fact is Barack Obama circumvented the democratic process to score political points.  And questioning the President on that is absolutely the right thing to do.  Our elected leaders are not kings and they should explain their decisions when giving a press conference on that very issue...

It is also a lie that Barack Obama is treated more disrespectfully than his predecessors.  The fact is Barack Obama is treated better.  Martin Bashir is a liar and a jeering idiot for the left.   Nice slams against Mitt Romney.  When Romney wins, will Martin Bashir be respectful to him then?  Update: Separated at Birth:  Martin Bashir and ...?

How soon they forget...


And here is Martin Bashir imagining Mitt Romney exploding...  Well that is how they do politics in Pakistan, so what do you expect.  

Ed Schultz blames Jeb Bush for the Trayvon Martin shooting? MSNBC pundits on Martin Bashir's show wants to have Zimmerman locked up...this is how Lefties treat Hispanics in America?

Okay, while we are at it, why not have Martin Bashir sent back to Pakistan?   
I doubt there is a country that would take Ed Schultz back, however.  
Barack Obama: If I had a son he would look like Trayvon Martin.  Of course many people have sons who look like George Zimmerman...     
There is only one side with lefty celebrities...

There is certainly some evidence that this was self defense.  If Trayvon Martin had been white, would there be any outrage over this? Isn't Mr. Zimmerman presumed innocent until proven guilty?   What about George Zimmerman's parents? I do not know the full facts of this case.  I am sorry Trayvon Martin is dead.  I do support Trayvon Martin's parents in this: I also definitely want this case fully investigated and justice to be done based on what actually happened not what people project might have happened.  And I think it is very safe to say MSNBC and Barack Obama do not know the full facts yet.  But for the Left and Obama's politicizing of this, I hope Latino Americans are paying attention.  


As Legal Insurrection noted: 

Update:  Per a local television story late yesterday, Zimmerman told police that Martin attacked him as Zimmerman attempted to return to his car, and a witness who saw Martin on top of Zimmerman punching him as well as physical evidence led police not to make an arrest.  Of course, we don’t know if this is true, so hold off judgment, it just goes to explain why the case may not be open and shut from a prosecution perspective. 

Update:
I also do not recall the President or MSNBC getting too fired up over this incident...
What happens if Zimmerman is found not guilty?  Whenever there is a Muslim inspired attack, the first thing government officials do is ensure no unfair backlash.  Do you see Democrats and the Left doing that in this case?  They are fanning the flames.  George Martin has not even been charged yet, and Andy Ostray at the Huffington Post is comparing this to the 1964 civil rights murders in Mississippi?  Are they insane? Yes they are.

As usual, the Anchoress is making a lot of sense with this post...

Much is being assumed of this case, when not everything is yet known, and some are flinging about rumors, and half-truths very easily. Justice for Trayvon Martin must be rooted in truth, or it can never be just. The reading I’ve done around the web these last few hours makes me worry if truth is going to be one of those stretchable things, if the case is permitted to be politicized.

Pagan Temple's advice: Cross the road!  I did not know Spike Lee tweeted Zimmerman's address.
Some advice on self defense.    Yes, less than deadly force is always preferred (if possible).  Sprays are better than nothing.  But if you have spray and a weapon, I would not be using the spray unless had someone backing me up with a weapon too. I would hold up the weapon and warn the attacker away (being prepared to shoot if necessary).  But the truth is I do not know what happened in this Martin-Zimmerman matter.  I doubt Zimmerman just shot some kid unprovoked.  Something triggered this.  The only one who knows is probably Zimmerman and even his perspective is partial (and probably clouded by adrenaline and the rapid circumstances of that night).
