MSNBC Confuses Bernie Mac And Bernie Madoff (VIDEO)

As it was announced today that prosecutors will be seeking $170 Billion from Bernie Madoff, who is expected to plead guilty to 11 criminal counts that could get him up to 150 years, an MSNBC anchor confused him for Bernie Mac. We understand, they have similar names, but it begged the the question: How else are they alike?

Bernie Mac is cracking up at this. I sure do miss him; he would have a field day with this blunder.

I think it was a shock to the system that the thief was not a black man but white

[janie@atthelake]

LOL I love the legacy on Madoff! .poor Bernie Mac .

[Outofnowhere]

Yes, I can see how they could easily be mistaken for one another. I think Bernie Mac's just a little taller.

I would love to see Bernie Madoff stand up in court, talking 'bout:

"I ain't scared of you muthaf***as - Kick it!!"

[barackobama4prez]

*who ya wit?!"

[toyboat]

LOL Bernie's family should sue for slander!

[Lovelydaze]

Too funny!

Bernie Mac wouldn't want to be associated with this a**sandwich.
I hope Mac's family never invested in Madoff before he passed on...

[danonchalant1]

Freudian slip. Tamron Hall just misses the man!

[magibrotherhood]

MSNBC sure has a bunch of prize A$$es working for them........

[Madmac]

[wezhira]

I think Bernie would have laughed on this one..even made serious jokes.. I bet he is laughing right now... I love you Bernie and i miss you.. man..

[mervr1]

I'm sure Jon Stewart is loving this

[HallStyle]

Man I loved Bernie Mac. It is sad that these jerks pulled his Good Name into this. They need to be on a time delay or something.

madoff cant have any milk n cookies.

The mistake defames someone who is deceased, who has family and children. To think that it is just a mistake and does not matter is insensitive to most of us who followed the career and good tidings of the Mac Man... No one even knew Bernie Madoff's name until his being responsible for stealing billions became known to the news media. We do not give a rat's behind about Madoff, but a retraction should be printed and on the front page for Bernie Mac's family if not for him. Being civil is still expected by the masses.

You are overreacting.

RIP Mac man.

[Solja]

Tamra was a Bernie Mac fan, so quit trippin'. How many Bernie's do we know actually? I can think of 2.

[DeeOne1]
