Deutsch Bagged
Remember what I said about the titles? Watch how that one sits gleaming up there like a brass flagpole eagle while the post goes blop underneath, like a blop-flag or something like that. It’s happening already.
Above: Insert some kind of quip about Stomp Act of 1765.
Scott Whitlock, NewsBusters:
MSNBC Suspends Donny Deutsch for Daring to Critique Olbermann, Did Nothing After Racially Tinged ‘Coconut’ SlurMSNBC on Wednesday suspended host Donny Deutsch in the wake of a segment on Tuesday about what role hosts such as Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz play in making this country “America the angry.” During the piece, Deutsch played a clip of an Olbermann rant and didn’t defend Schultz when conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt attacked the “the biggest hate mongers in television.”
Now I know what it is about Hugh Hewitt’s name. All along, it was one of those names that’s a sentence. Like Will Bunch, although that’s not strictly a sentence. Um, Rob Banks, which is hypothetical, and Dave Dictor, which should end any such list due to its perfection. There are hundreds of these; I can’t think of any.
Hugh, hew it. See? That’s what it is about that name. Uh, Bob Bobbett. Jack Jacket. Rock, uh, Rocket. Okay, boring.
Ha, odd physical metaphor:
MSNBC on Wednesday suspended host Donny Deutsch in the wake of a segment on Tuesday about what…
Suspended in the wake, “Glub, glub,” okay boring.
However, in February, when Deutsch dismissed Hispanic senatorial hopeful Marco Rubio as a “coconut,” a term that the New York Times described as meaning “brown on the outside and white on the inside,” MSNBC took no action.
‘Brazil nut’ implies Portuguese-speaking, while ‘pistachio’ would be a Hispanic who falsely presents him- or herself as Native American while inside being envious or inexperienced, yet beneath that rather thin layer is actually slightly more Hispanic than he seemed initially? Hm.
This ‘however, what about the time with the coconut?’ formulation, in any case, is one of those false equivalencies that people talk about, a coconut not being generally or even in a single relevant way equivalent to Keith Olbermann. False equivalencies such as:
“Glenn Beck was criticized for screaming ‘Heil Hitler’ over and over to a picture of Hitler, while the caption flashed at the bottom of the screen, ‘I’m so serious — I utterly love me some Hitler. -Glenn Beck,’ and then it switched to the same thing, only in reverse with Hitler screaming ‘Heil’ at a picture of Beck and the exact opposite caption, and this lasted three days. However, in a March, 2006 transcript, Bill Moyers chanted the exact same thing only with Stalin, saying, “During the early reign of Stalin, uh, Stalin, the… With Stalin, industrialization in Russia was fitful,” and if you say Stalin’s name three times he comes back to life yet no Moyers was ever criticized!!1! aaah libril mediaaaaH!”
So wait though, a ‘mango’ is like a Native American who’s perhaps also an envious newcomer, who’s actually an Asian inside, yet beneath that is revealed as having hairy pits?
I can see some of these being so specialized that you might walk around with them for years until a suitable occasion came up (“yo, here comes that Asian guy with a less prickly exterior than many of his relatives, yet who is like a white person in his thinking, and a seedy one at that”), such that if you could grab the right one out in time (ol’ Yellow Pataya Dragonfruit, eh?) you would at least in theory seem far more clever than you actually are.
Apparently, incurring the wrath of Keith Olbermann is quite dangerous. (TV Newser reported the role the liberal anchor played in the punishment.)
Which wasn’t much in their telling, and was ‘vehemently denied‘ in other accounts.
But we understand about wanting to run with a good title.

Or sure, one of those too, I guess.
Fudgsicle: light brown and cold, man; with a stick up its…
OK, wait.
M&M: red and green on the outside, black and sweet on the inside.
Deutsch resides in New York City at Trump Park Avenue.

I GOT ONE!!! I GOT ONE!!!
If, like, he’s Asian and, like, really big and really prickly then, like, when you, like, break him open, like, he reeks with the stench, like, of a million shit moats…
He’s a durian!
Do I win?
‘however, what about the time with the coconut?’
Gavin, that’s the last time I let you see my Flickr account…
Raise your hands: How many here had even heard that “coconut” was an ethnic slur, and that Marc Rubio was not Italian?
Mmmmm…..ethnic slur…..arghrhrghrhhrhghrghrh
Bigt Bigtits.
I’ve always thought coconuts to be quite lovely, especially in pairs.
The Best Fails Of 2009
Because we can all use a laugh, particularly after suffering through a 3 OT loss last night:

I don’t personally care for coconut.
Too indecisive. On the one hand it’s all “Hey! I’m all brown and shaggy!”
And on the other it’s all “Hey! I’m all white and flaky!”
Make up your fucking mind. We’re at war here.
Same thing with flounder. All slime and scales outside and white flaky goodness inside.
Be all one thing or else you stupid things this guy probably thinks were designed by gob and jeebus!
No room for fucking Coconuts Front Of Different Outside Than In splitters here.
I think you mean 3 OT win. Go Senators!
Too indecisive. On the one hand it’s all “Hey! I’m all brown and shaggy!”
And on the other it’s all “Hey! I’m all white and flaky!”
And that’s just the inside! The outside is all green and hard!
The Cocoanuts.
Coconuts? Coconuts!!

The Cocoanuts.
You can have any house you want. You can even have stucco. Oh how you’ll get stuck-o!
The Cocoanuts.
Great little variety film.
“And that’s just the inside! The outside is all green and hard!”
I didn’t want to say anything.
Now real ‘Murkins know just what a pathetic, Swiss-style tripartite appeaser the coconut really is.
Expect a drop in consumption comparable to that of French products during that whole Iraq kerfluffle. They were so wrong.
Anyway, it’s clear the coconut will need to rebrand a la Arthur Andersen if it expects to survive.
The future of “coconut” futures has no future.
Also, The Cocoanuts.
Great little variety film.
I hate you.
FYWP. YouTube has a 14 part playlist containing the whole of The Cocoanuts should anyone be interested in RACIAL SLURS.
Another funny thing here, a dramatic reading of an incoherent mess of a breakup letter:

Anyway, it’s clear the coconut will need to rebrand a la Arthur Andersen if it expects to survive.
Hm. It could call itself “banana”.
Norman Fell is a sentence.
a term that the New York Times described as meaning
So now the NYT is an unimpeachable source? It was very nice of them to let us know “coconut” is “racially tinged” because otherwise everyone would have assumed Deutsch was saying Rubio is “a fucking crazycakes loon who cuts his own hair with nail scissors while weeping and reciting Sylvia Plath.”
Scott Horsely (sp? NPR) isn’t a sentence, but is PART of a sentence: “I spoke to Scott Horsely.”
What a Deutsch-bag.
I have a Hawaiin friend we all call Pineappple.
I feel so dirty.
MSNBC Suspends Donny Deutsch for Daring to Critique Olbermann, Did Nothing After Racially Tinged ‘Coconut’ Slur
I’m a bit curious how this will shake out for Deutsch. Does wingnutistan embrace him for standing up to the ebil librul teevee guy and invite him on their shows, or do they slap him with the “reverse racist”/”the only good brown people are the ones that agree with me” label?
“…Apparently, incurring the wrath of Keith Olbermann is quite dangerous…”
Well, DUH.
Also, why shouldn’t Mr. Olbermann complain about being slandered and insulted on his own Network, huh? What is so criminal about that?
Also, calling someone a “coconut” is a very esoteric slur, kind of like calling someone an “eyebrow comber”. Most people, when called that name, say ‘”Uh?”
There’s lots of last names that are verbs like George Will or Tom Waits.
I think the idea was to figure out a complete sentence that wasn’t simply Proper noun – verb. Maybe something like Ty Knotts, although that too is an imperative or sentence fragment.
Most of the classics require initials – I. P. Freely for instance.
So it’s really harder than it sounds. Here’s my shot
Norman Ibsen-Heitland.
Actually, nobody is white on the inside.
“Actually, nobody is white on the inside.”
It’s true. We’re mostly pinkish.
Actually, nobody is white on the inside.
Actually everyone is white on the inside…wayyyyyyyyyy inside. They’re called “bones”
I believe this only applies to boneheads.
Yes Hugh, selling advertising on a TV program that is re-airing what you and and your fellow Con
servative radioArtists are saying to your listeners certainly is Hate-mongering.They’re called “bones”
And what’s inside dem bones?
Actually everyone is white on the inside…wayyyyyyyyyy inside. They’re called “bones”
but inside the bones is marrow which is a reddish brown, isn’t it??
I say we send the hamster in to investigate.
but inside the bones is marrow which is a reddish brown, isn’t it??
fuckinggoddamwiseassesonSadly,No….
Are bones actually white when they still part of a living creature? I have been unable to find an image on google. Can a Surgeon, EMT, or Mortician confirm that bones are actually white inside the body?
Can a Surgeon, EMT, or Mortician confirm that bones are actually white inside the body?
You’ve never seen a compound fracture? What else have you been missing?
But to be absolutely pedantic:
I recommend video of hip-replacement surgery. Exciting!
Heh heh. BONES. Heh.
Apparently none of you have ever perused the choices for paint in the pale beige family, of which “bone” is one. Not exactly white, but close.
Working as I do in a pathology lab, I can attest that bones are in fact white in the body. Though they do have a pink outer sheath.

Damn, how disappointing.
“…that is revealed as having hairy pits? ” so deep inside that Indian (feather, not dot) is French? or maybe Magua-like (i.e. Huron)? our neighbors from the north had a much nicer relationship with their native populations mostly due to the majority of land given to BonerParts manly shoulders…opps, soldiers. and in turn the lack of white women (i.e. Blazing Sadles) making NI women the next best thing. so would that be akin to coffee ice cream?
