    If Fox News did this, there would be sit-ins.

    And? You say that as if Fox News doesn't have a history of being openly (and cheerfully!) racist, such that it would be understandable to suspect the slip of being part of a pattern, rather than an isolated incident. #msnbc

    @Benny: your point! miss Norma Desmond was just "sayin." How come everytime some one points out racism someone has to come a long with a "chill out." I really don't like the context of this post, "They All Look A Like." I understand you're (john@gawker.com) being fiticious and everything, but I hear hidden racist undertones in your text. "If Fox News did this, there would be sit in's," I feel that quote trivializes the civil rights movement, during which many great indiviuals lost their lives in the fight for equality and social justice. Is it now standard pratice to cheapen the lives of black people, to forsake their struggles for lame attempts at topical humor. So I will "chill" the moment this shit is deemed once and for all intolerable! #msnbc

    @John Van Cezanne: "How come everytime some one points out racism someone has to come a long with a 'chill out.'"

    Yeah, cos that's what I did.

    I was referring to the Fox/MSNBC distinction. Not the racism.

    "So I will "chill" the moment this shit is deemed once and for all intolerable!"

    For your sake I hope that's soon. #msnbc

    Not sure why he didn't just respond in kind, and thank Campbell Brown for the intro... adding that it was very white of her to be so kind as to give him this opportunity to comment. #msnbc

    @CODiva: This actually happened. Write this down. When Bobby Darrin first met Sandra Dee, he opened with "I've seen all your movies, Ms Weld." and she replied, "And I buy all your records, Fabian!"

    And I'll bet nobody knows who any of these people were. #msnbc

    Clearly she read the teleprompter wrong. It is not the same as seeing a person and mistaking him for someone else. Besides, Rev. Al Sharpton possesses one of the greatest coifs of the 20th Century. There should be trichology chairs endowed in his name all over this great land. There are few people-alive-who can match that follicle greatness. #msnbc

    See, it wasn't her talking, it was "the script in front of [her]" (which, by the way, wasn't written by the guy who wrote it, since someone told him to write it that way). Also, that's not her face, it's what the make up people did according to what they were told to. In conclusion: all of TV is our own damn fault.

    @Notsewfast: There are hangups to all universal rules. These bellboys were taught how to react to opening a door and finding a lady in the bath. Back out, say, "Excuse me, sir." Get it? They didn't see enough to catch gender. But then this bellboy was sporting a black eye, and the manager asked how it came about, and he said, "Just following instructions, sir. I opened the bathroom door and seen Mr Barnstable with his secretary in the bath, and I backs out, see, sayin' "Excuse me, gentlemen." #msnbc

    Did she stare into the camera, get all weepy, and say "I'm just asking questions"? Because until that happens MSNBC is still a notch above Fox.
