Note to Stephen A. SMITH - We don't need another obxnoxious narcissist.

Yes, have kept away from the few peepings at ABC over the most recent unplesantness, but since NBC opened Today with a long critique of KRASNOV's retributions and since KRASNOV openly attacked his long time tabloid buddy Jon KARL, I succumbed to curiousity about how KARL on This Weak would handle things, and was further bummed that it appears that they have added - besides the long time irritant Chris CRISPY - the even worse SMITH, partnering them.

Had just become barely aware of this jerk when he started popping up with threats to run for President, but still brushed him off when he petered out as a kook. But this morning he was even more obnoxious and dominating even CRISPY, with (about HARRIS and her book), "Who cares what she says" and bits like she-lost, her-career-is-over, and she-didn't-speak-before. He went on in other topics to dismiss the KRASNOV's assault on free speech by diverting the blame to "elected" Congresscritters who, according to him, are the ones allowing it.

*** NOTE TO HIM AND ALL DELUDED NARCISSISTS: If the current one is ever on the ash heap of History, we need a blessed respite in returning to sanity and tranquility until some distant future generations forget the travesty and re-learn for themselves what the horror is like.

*** The cherry-picking of his Wiki is to focus, beyond his KRASNOVlike a-hole opinions, his having to serial apologize. And apologies aren't worth a bucket of warm **** anyway - don't undo the harm done, like un-ringing a bell.

Keith Olbermann accuses Stephen A. Smith of ‘prostituting himself’ to conservatives
"Just adding to what has been true for years: @stephenasmith is a f*cking idiot."

.... Keith Olbermann has already called Stephen A. Smith’s bluff regarding a potential run for president. ....

While Olbermann is hardly the only person to take issue with Smith’s comments, his criticism as both an ex-ESPN star and political pundit carries some extra weight. And as Smith further establishes himself in the political sphere with his new SiriusXM show on the POTUS channel, this surely won’t be the last time that the two bump heads.

Huge flop. Don't care for his sports commentary either.
