A supposed “witness” to the crash of a Malaysian airliner in Ukraine told MSNBC’s Krystal Ball Thursday that it appeared to have been shot down by a “blast of wind from Howard Stern’s ass.”
He then called her a “dumbass” when she didn’t seem to understand she was being punked.
Ball appeared to either not hear him or understand the joke about Stern, immediately asking the “sergeant” about his military training and what sort of missile system he thought had taken down the plane.
“Boy, you’re a dumbass, aren’t you?” the caller said.
I don't think she was paying the least bit of attention to the caller. That, however, doesn't make her any less of a dumb ass. And what about the MSNBC staff who handled the call? Did no one vet the caller's bona fides before putting him on the air, or did he claim he had proof this was Bush's fault so they put him right on?
