Former CNBC host Donny Deutsch is filling in on MSNBC as 3pmET anchor all this week, with a show titled America The Angry.

The first couple minutes of the show ended up serving as a monologue/mission statement for the program, with Deutsch dramatically urging viewers to stop with all the anger.

After introducing the show, Deutsch went into a speech about how “It is your fault!” – mimicking the various people, places and circumstances Americans are blaming for their problems. They ranged from “It’s Fox, it’s MSNBC, they’re ruining everything,” to “It’s Tiger Woods, he let me down, Tiger how could you do that?”

And the big conclusion:

This is the best damn country ever. We’re a country of rugged individuals. I believe in us, I believe in you, I believe in I. Stop pointing! We still have a pretty damn good thing going here. Let’s get to work. Enough with the anger. I’m angry with anger.

“I’m angry with anger” – that deserves to be on a T-shirt or something. Also, if he’s angry with anger, is that anger part of the problem?

The show spent significant time on Goldman Sachs (with CNBC guests like Jim Cramer and Trish Regan) as well as the tea parties. Also showing up was former FNCer Page Hopkins, as the newsreader. It’s an interesting idea for a show, that will get fleshed out further as the week progresses. And with a couple hours still left to fill permanently, this could have a spot in the MSNBC daytime line-up if it materializes.

Here’s the opening:

Some of us tried to tell you left-wing nuts to stop all the lying and name calling when Reagan was president. Then we tried to tell you that when Bush 1 was president. Then we tried to tell you that when Bush II was president. You did not listen, now it is OUR turn to tell the truth and identify you folks for what you are. So SHUT UP.

If Donny is opposed to the rhetoric of anger, he should ask himself why he is working for MSNBC. If you took the smears, rants and insults out of MSNBC’s programming, there wouldn’t be anything left.

You know MSNBC is scrapping bottom when they have to resurrect DD.

Thank you, Mr. Deutsch. But, without anger, my predecessor commenters would have nothing but a brown banana and a quart of blinky milk, such is the state of their sad lives.

>>This is the best damn country ever.<<

He's beginning to sound a bit like Sean Manatee:

"The US is the greatest, best country God has ever given man on the face of the Earth."

Yet again, you show yourself willing to attack folks who disagree with you for their “angry posts,” yet “unaware” when someone from “your side” posts nastily and negatively.

Perhaps it’s as some have said… you really ARE two posters on this site. I guess you can’t be expected to attack yourself…

NewsBusters: MSNBC’s Deutsch Frets Over ‘Anger in America,’ Incorrectly Labels IRS Plane Bomber a Republican

Since it’s MSNBC naturally they are going to show a segment on the Tea Party members. How about showing some protests coming from the left ? How about showing the March 10th anti-war protesters that burned flags ? Maybe some footage of the left breaking windows in Seattle during the WTO protests ? Oh wait, what am I saying, it’s MSNBC !

Donny, you might have been “angry about anger,” but clearly there was someone at MSNBCE even angrier than you. When you come back, I suggest you stick with safe stories….like racists at the tea parties or Sarah Palin using her Facebook page to stir up violence.

Donnie douchebag doesn’t deserve to be on tv. His commentary is sophomoric, he’s a self obsessed asshole and he is not a good person. Check into his personal life, shacking up with someone and not taking care of his ex family and kids. Not a deserving sole.
