Am I the only one who finds Rita Cosby's voice like nails on a

[sarcasmo]

chalk board.

[haroldgiowa]

1. No

I turn the channel.

[sarcasmo]

5. Welcome to D/U Haroldgiowa. I can't watch any other news program at 9

so hockey it is.

[fight4my3sons]

2. No, you're not the only one!!! n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Listening to her is really painful.

I think I'd rather listen to somebody cut up tin with a bandsaw. Rita has a voice suitable for a career as a mime.

[madrchsod]

4. i still want to know if she got

hired for that "sucking air/breath" sound she makes.........

[sarcasmo]

6. Do you think she has Asthma, that's what my wife says.

[joemurphy]

7. As bad as she sounds, what's worse is how little there is in

what she says. Rita says nothing and says it badly. She isn't MSNBC's brightest bulb.

[Andrea]

11. So true

Her voice is beyond annoying. I'd say that she should work in print journalism instead of broadcasting, but she is so unbearably stupid that she couldn't possibly do that. MSNBC has had a real problem with that 9:00 p.m. ET slot - it's a revolving door. I don't expect her to be around too long.

[nosmokes]

8. no. i can't get to the remote fast enough to click

that imgage off the screen. gives me the willies, she does.

[Christa]

10. The voice and that face

those over eager eyes like a coke addict :yoiks:

[DianeG5385]

9. She makes me want to "COUGH" and clear my throat

I want to take a DEEP breat after listening to her!

[longship]

12. Wheezy Rita.

nt

[emald]

13. no your not

I tell my kids each nite when she comes on, and I turn the channel, that her voice makes me want to keep clearing my throat. Man I hate that voice.

[11 Bravo]

14. You'd sound breathless, too, if you were trying to talk around

a half dozen Twinkies.

[sarcasmo]

15. A dozen twinkies would make many who smoke weed

breathless.

[anitar1]

26. Bravo, You are too funny! I am clearing my throat at present.n/t

[OneTwentyoNine]

16. Horrible to say the least,wonder if that's why she left FOX?

Her voice drives me nuts,sounds like its almost laryngitis. Man....

[Digit]

17. I can't stand to hear her voice, either

Even if she were reading from a book I happened to enjoy....STILL, I would not be able to listen to that voice.

[KC21304]

18. No ! She has a voice made for silent movies.

Did you see TDS when Jon Stewart showed parts of her interview with Tom Delay ? OH MY GOD ! How stupid she is.

[pbartch]

19. I can't stand listening to her voice

I turn off msnbc when her show comes on. She sounds like a moron.

[betterdeadthanred]

20. No

I can't take it. I usually flip over to Larry King when she comes on if he has someone worth watching on with him.

[Ms. Clio]

"Throaty McHuskington"

That's what Jon called her on TDS the other day.

[ajacobson]

22. Yeah, that's it. n/t

[ajacobson]

21. Jon Stewart called her

Throaty McScratchy, I think (something like that).

[sarcasmo]

31. That is the best one yet, Thanks.

[Lannes]

23. Her voice sound like Jim Carrey doing" Vera Demilo"

on In Living Color

[area51]

24. R. Cosby

Is she the blonde who always sounds like she's got a cold; completely stopped up sinuses? I don't have cable, but my relatives do, so I haven't seen too much of this woman.

[anitar1]

25. NO. she drove me crazy duing the Katrina reporting. I even wrote

to MSNBC about ther. the woman has a serious problem. That monotone gasping she does is awful. She is a mess. Cannot watch her for one minute now.

[NuttyFluffers]

27. She's been suffocating slowly on that vienna sausage since childhood.

nothing a good punch to the gut can't clear up.

[vickie]

28. No. Her voice is among the most grating I've ever heard.

[LostInAnomie]

29. I started a thread about this the other day...

... I said that she sounded like Fat Albert if he had just gargled hot asphalt and tacks.

[Twist_U_Up]

30. as Randi stated:

maybe when her balls drop her voice will straighten out
