| #13 Stupid Freudian slip? Or is she just dim-humored moonbat with poor enunciation? You decide. To me, she's a perfect fit for MSNBC/CNBC |

| #11 I hope when she's 55 or 60 and time + gravity have taken their toll she'll still remember her ignorant little comment. |

| #10 Newscasters should not attempt humor. They should leave that to opinion people. She will forever be tainted as biased. |

| #9 here's her lame apology: "attempt at humor" not accepted - consider yourself "outed", beeyotch |

| #8 I have CNBC on all the time so I have listened to Erin Burnett on many occasions. I have always thought she is more conservative than liberal. At least where economics is concerned. I've watched her defend Bush's tax cuts and question liberal Democrat politicians in a way they're not accustomed to. Even Limbaugh has cited her a few times. So I think this monkey thing was just a little childish kidding around. She called Angela Merkel a "monkey in the middle" too. Not a very funny way to joke. |

| #7 She's just turned off half her audience. And this is a small, specialized audience. Dumb, dumb, dumb ... |

| #5 Erin's pretty, vivacious, and very sharp, unlike most money honeys. Nowadays there are plenty more who encompass all that, where she came from. She's clearly not nearly as quick on the uptake as those who hired her thought. |

| #4 Think she's a lib? Erin's pretty, vivacious, and very sharp, unlike most money honeys. She's upstaged Maria pretty thoroughly. Bet she doesn't do this again, even though it's clear from her rejoinders that she meant it. She'd be well served by skipping the politics. |

| #3 She was jet-lagging, by the sound of the comments from her colleagues. Still, there are plenty of pretty faces looking to get on that camera -- what odds hers gets moved to where her tactlessness is less damaging? |

| #2 She's looking a little fat. Maybe she's pregnant and having hormone issues. |

| #1 My comments can not be printed in sucha fine journal as Rantburg. Suffice to say any spanking of said talking head should be performed with a splinter-encrusted twobyfour (the lumber, not the Poster!) |
