 Howard was talking about Beyonce's performance on the Grammys. He stated that he doesn't really get her music and that he saw her on 60 Minutes and that they treated her like the next big thing. Robin jumped in to say that she's won a ton of awards and that she won the most (Grammys) ever by a woman.
The second part of her statement is incorrect. In fact Beyonce is third on the list for most Grammys won by a female artist. Alison Krauss won 27, Aretha Franklin won 18 and Beyonce won 16. As always Robin quick to give information as if it were factual when it is completely incorrect.

I took it as she won the most by a woman in one Grammys. Which is true. |

 While coming back from break Fred played "Wonderwall" covered by Ryan Adams. Howard asked who was singing the song. Howard thought it was "the guy who f'd Jennifer Aniston" so without skipping a beat Robin jumped in and said it was a Dave Matthews song.
Of course Fred had to correct her saying it was Ryan Adams. Even still she fought back saying, "No it's a Dave Matthews song" to which Howard and Fred both stated that it was an Oasis song (sung by Ryan Adams). Robin finally conceded. How wrong can someone be all the time yet still open their mouth to give "information".

That's her 34 personality. Most normal people, if they were unsure, would say, "Isn't that Dave Matthews?"
But Robin never assumes that she might be wrong. She is so over-the-top confident in herself that she always believes she's right, and she never considers the possibility that she might not be. |

And she said it with authority (not "I think it *might* be Dave Matthews") -- drives me nuts. She really is a 34. |

Well said inotherwords. When Howard was ranting about how Kathy Lee and Hoda kept interrupting, 34 was interrupting Howard. Like Rob, I wish they would get someone on the show that would bust Robin's balls about being wrong all of the time. |

Has this site ever been mentioned on the show? I think it's a great place to vent and somehow neutralize the annoyance she is to myself and so many others. As for her speaking out of turn with useless untruths, she is worst than Kathy Lee. |

"34" It says it all. She feels that most people will not even know whether she is correct or not so they will assume she is correct because it is rare that she is corrected on the show. Again we all need to continue to email the link to this site to the show and eventually it will get through to someone there who is not afraid of her. |
Brake Pedal, Gas Pedal; What's The Difference?

 Robin started out a news story about a Toyota recall and described the cause as faulty brake pedals. Further into the story, she read that the cause was faulty gas pedals. Realizing her error, she corrected herself and said it wasn't brake pedals, it was gas pedals. Shouldn't Robin review her stories before she reads them?

Will attacked her for all of her clearly incorrect news facts on Wednesday's show. That was nice until he wussied out later, essentially saying he was wrong for saying that. I miss the old days when the staff members had balls (Stuttering John). |

 The gang was discussing the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision regarding the ability of corporations to contribute to political campaigns and Justice Alito's reaction when President Obama proclaimed, during his State of the Union address, that the decision will open up contributions by foreign entities. Feeling the need to contribute, Robin weighed in:"It's supposed to be one man, one vote but this money thing is screwing things up." The campaign finance decision by the U.S. Supreme Court has nothing to do with the principle of one man one vote. While corporate contributions might influence voter choices, they still have one vote per person.

A good point... and while our favorite show tries to be non-political, I was just dumbfounded about the misunderstanding regarding this topic today. OK... here goes.
Benjy was right in that Howard was not completely accurate in his understanding of the ruling. The case involved a political group that had funded a movie that was anti Hilary Clinton. They were so concerned about her winning the election that they made a movie against her. Lower courts ruled that this was not a free speech issue, but in effect a "political ad" and should be counted towards the spending limits, rules, etc. around campaign finance laws.
So this was the constitutional question before the court: Can people's speech be limited or controlled by campaign finance laws? (McCain-Feingold as an example) a broad reading of the ruling says "no"....going forward there should be no restrictions on who can spend money or how they can spend it on advertising for a political candidate of their choosing.
At first glance, Howard is correct in saying that the corporations with very deep pockets will control elections. (And then ask us for bailouts! Ha) Anyway, that is probably true.
But as a caller mentioned, other groups, like labor unions and other progressive causes, will also enjoy the same limitless spending if they have the money. Instead of having to go to a movie theater to watch a Michael Moore film, a rich person like George Soros can just buy 2 hours of time on the networks and have it shown there to the entire country for free. The process can work both ways. This is the information that was missing from the discussion.
Michael Moore is probably working on a Mitt Romney film right now !!! Can't wait to see it! |
