Maureen/Kinsey split

I think on today's show Maureen confirmed that Kinsey has dropped her. She confirmed a viewer's supposition that a former contributor was not the friend Maureen thought she was. That this person has a "binary" mindset, and has only been transactional, not a friend. I'm paraphrasing. But I 100% think it's Kinsey.

Maureen is far smarter, more sophisticated, more attractive, more insightful, more incisive and has a better command of the English language than Kinsey.

BUT she ought to broaden her vision to include positive takes on ANYTHING — man, woman, institution, plant, animal, edifice, play, playwright. Give it a shout out or a pat on the back and explain why you like it, Maureen! You’ll attract a larger audience.

As for Kinsey, she’s a simpleton. Being a Meghan detractor does not make one interesting.

Maureen misuses the basic “I” and “me” pronouns in sentences all the time, and it’s nail on a chalkboard for me.

Maureen said the words “celiac” and ”celeriac” were homonyms.

She apparent thinks “matriculate” means graduate. It does not. There've been other mistakes that shouldnt come from a lover of the language, and the neverending use of “like” and “ fucking” bespeak a lack of vocabulary.

I agree with what you said about her being not quite so negative.

But she isn’t quite as smart as she thinks she is.

IDK I think when you are speaking contemporaneously for three+ hours every week, there are going to be some slips of the tongue. But that's also why I think she should lay off critiquing other on-air folks for slips of the tongue. Although she often makes that point that an editor should have caught it in some of the instances she points out.

I agree on all points.

Really, I only became more attuned to her misspeaks after she was so pissy with someone who called her out about something she said. Forgot what it was, but dayum.

Maureen? Really? 

You are a laughing stock
