Rita Cosby's voice

[Catherine Vincent]

Maybe some of you shouldn't make fun of her voice, it may not be her fault. Did she have throat surgery a while back to cause her to talk like that? Her voice is kinda weird but I think some people like that (not me). Her voice remind me of Rep. Rangel's voice. I think he must have had some kind of throat surgery also.

1. ILL SAY IT AGAIN

She is a twit, but she sexy, voice and all

[The_Casual_Observer]

2. Something is wrong there, she needs to inhale deeply before she

speaks. It's really distracting after you begin to notice it.

13. I think you are way out of line with that comment

Unless she is making herself sound that way because she thinks it sounds sexy (which I doubt), then she shouldn't be blamed for sounding different. But, in any case its a long stretch for you to imply that you know anything about her sex life. That's a cheap shot.

21. Must Be Her Talent Then.....LOL!!!!!!!! nt

[GrumpyGreg]

22. Good Lord----grow up!

[CatWoman]

4. *ahem*

I have a very deep voice. On the phone, people ofteb mistake me for a man.

[benddem]

14. me too

and on a microphone my voice comes off as very breathy. Some people think it is sexy.

[xray s]

5. It ain't the voice that bugs me

It's the words...

[BiggJawn]

6. Not a TV News voice.

I see her gasping and gulping her way through her show and I think "What ARE they teaching these young-uns these days?"

I don't mind the "huskiness" of it, Hell, look at where a rough around the edges voice got Brenda Vacarro.

But that crap of her trying to read a 700 cc. prompter screen on only 300 cc. of air is for the birds.

7. Her voice is that way because I tried to strangle her to death

My attempt was unsuccessful, unfortunately. FOX Brown-shirts dragged me away.

9. Hey, pal, that's not too friendly...

Rita's voice may get under my skin sometimes, but that's as far as I go.

And she is kinda cute.

But she needs to take more cues from Keith Olbermann instead of going for all the sensationalist BS.

[incapsulated]

Cute?

She is hell on earth. If you want to torture me, force me to watch that one and O'Lielly back to back. I'll confess to the 9/11 plot.

:puke:

[Catherine Vincent]

11. LOL!

:)

[FrenchieCat]

8. Hey....Rangel is like......75 years old!

Not fair to compare his gorgeous clearly progressive and strong "take not shit" voice to one of a 40ish News Reader bimbo whore!

It's just not fair, I say! :shrug:

[incapsulated]

10. Rangel has sounded that way forever

Or as long as I remember, which is a long time.

:shrug:

(I love his voice, btw)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

12. Now you've manged to insult 40ish News reader bimbo whores everywhere.

:evilgrin:

[katty]

15. Her voice is SO irritating-like she is gasping for air

[Nimrod2005]

16. Maybe she is deep throat? Too deep?

[Moochy]

17. Look if someone has a crippling disability

that makes their job impossible to do well, then that person shouldnt be in the job.

This is not a job where superficial aspects of a persons voice and face can be ignored, face it. TV News requires moderately good looks, as well as the passing ability to read copy.

[Rick Myers]

18. Send her back to Fox News. She's terrible.

[Greeby]

19. I dunno but Kathy Bay Malloy's impressions of her have me in stitches

:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

20. Really? I've never heard it.

Kathy's great.

[Ilsa]

23. Oh man, I can't believe I've missed that!

I listen to some MM every night, and I love it when KB does imitations. She's very talented.

[BuyingThyme]

27. Yes,

hilarious.

I don't think Mike appreciates it as much as we do.

[Ilsa]

24. I'm always getting her confused with my neighbor's barking dog.

She doesn't look like one; in fact she's pretty, but I can't stand her voice. She sounds too throaty, like she might be doing that on purpose.

[stopbush]

25. If some people have "a face for radio," then Rita has a voice

for the print media.

[Caoimhe]

31. LOL so true

when she says AROOOBA... I want to strip off my shoes, sharpen my toenails into points and do handstands while scratching them on a chalkboard.

Her voice could peel the paint off an old navy ship.

[LoKnLoD]

26. Randi Rhodes

always says "one day Rita's testicles are gonna drop". That always cracks me up.

[IndianaGreen]

28. Her voice sounds like she is on the verge of orgasm

She gasps for air when she reports the latest breaking news from Aruba.

Rita should put that vibrator away when she is on TV.

[xultar]

29. Well if her show was interesting and she wasn't a Nancy Grace wannabe

I suppose it wouldn't matter.

But since she's a RWingbag idiot. I'll make fun of her.

[tom swift]

30. Rita Cosby

I'll give her credit for being the first female vacuous baritone on TV. (I stole that depiction from Doonesbury)
