Chris Matthews didn’t wait for “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” to be repealed. He always admitted that Barack Obama sent a tingle up his leg. But we get that same tingle from CNBC’s Erin Burnett.
In this very odd clip the CNBC’s money honey shows MSNBC’s Morning Joe team the gift she got from CNBC co-host Mark Haines in the company gift exchange. It’s a pretty red bra that’s also functions as an emergency gas mask. She even demonstrates how it works by placing the bra over her face.
There’s no question that Erin is slurring her words and acting a little loopy. In fact, at one point Joe Scarborough actually asks her if she’s had “too much eggnog.”
We are of the belief that Erin could dwarf her CNBC salary by selling her own line of gas mask bras on eBay. We know there’s nothing we’d enjoy more than sitting around in our Snuggies on a cold winter night pretending that the air is poisonous.
By the way, is Erin Burnett married?

Uhm... a male co-host gave her a bra? Interesting... With stuff like this I have to wonder if this network can be considered anything other than a joke.
I had always figured that gifts of sexy lingerie were more for the giver than the givee, if you know what I mean. I don't know too many women that would be happy with such a gift -- most of them would probably give him a black eye, much like Charlie got.
Charlie comes home from church with two black eyes.
"How'd you get the black eye?"
"Well, we were standing up, sitting down, standing up, and I noticed the woman in front of me -- her dress was stuck in her backside. So I reached up and pulled it out."
"That explains the one black eye. How'd you get the other?"
"I thought she must have *wanted* her dress up there."
Straight women would give each other lingerie but it is mostly in situations like bachelorette parties, gags within a party situation and things of that occasion. Otherwise a woman buys lingerie for her own sense of self and/or to please someone else. When a man buys lingerie for a woman he is indeed telling her without words that he EXPECTS to see it on her soon enough. If a man that I work with and I am not involved with in gives me lingerie I would be very offended. It is unprofessional and possibly illegal if not at least against some type of rule. I don't see how a man who is not involved with her and especially one that is working with her would give her such a thing EVEN as a "joke" and neither she nor anyone else sees something weird and wrong about that.
Is he married? Cause if he is unless they have an "open" marriage, or she is dumb or very "understanding" his wife must not be very content at hearing her husband buying lingerie for another woman and I am sure that it would be the case in reverse if she is the one that is married. Something very odd is afoot and like I said it cheapens (even more?) this supposedly serious network.
Every time I give a woman lingerie as a gift, it's really for me. And they understand that. But I don't do that with co-workers.
I used to have a naughty crush on Erin, but as time went on, I've realized just how little she (and her cohort Mark Haines) knows about the financial world. It just blew my whole fantasy.
Hey, guys! Give me a break, huh? I said I didn't like her views. I just think she's cute. Two separate things, right?
Boobies!
Actually, she is just a boob.
I may not like her political views, but if I have to put that bra over my face, I want her to still be wearing it.
Here is something about Erin that makes her just slightly hateable...

...she ain't easy, & she ain't cheap, but she does have a price.
Common IHTM... B-cups Burnett? I thought you were more Tits-Cabrerra types.
Give that bra as a gift at most companies and you'll be spending time talking to HR.Quite possibly to receive your pink slip.
First the red bra. Then the pink slip. Stop talking about lingerie, Phil.
Scab-Burrow has his head down and eyes closed in hopes that MIKA doesn't whip out the panties he gave her for Christmas. I'm just sayin'
Could be she gave him the panties. Probably stole them from Chris Matthews stash.
I don't know but it looks like that bra is way too big. I'm just sayin'!
