Mika just handed Morning Joe his ass!!

[Jack Bone]

hopefully...someone else caught it too!

[randome]

1. Explain, please. Assume that nobody else saw this.

[Jack Bone]

5. they were discussing today's editorials

he started rambling on about FEMA$ not being the problem w/ the deficit...she just let him dig himself into a hole...it was nice..hopefully someone caught it on video.

2. It was a thing of beauty.

Could he be any more condescending. What a pig he is. Meanwhile the other clowns (Barnacle, Halperin, Willie) just sat there. You go, Mika. Her biggest point was Rmoney does not have a plan.

11. If I am a lazy aging man in my next life, I want a job on TV where I don't have to prepare, don't

have to say anything intelligent, don't have to dress well, just have to sit there and get paid, like Barnacle does. If, I am the same, and have close to absolute zero personality, and can get paid for being on a TV political talk show, I will be Halperin.

[Skidmore]

15. I just saw Halperin being used at the front end of a Romney campaign ad this morning

telling everyone something to the effect that the President didn't finish his job the first term is not a good place to run from or something like that. Apparently Halperin thinks that every pile of shit that Bush left should have been sanitized completely, boxed, and tied up in a bow by now.

And then there's Barnacle (misspelling intended), who has his butt calcified to that chair and dilligently works at trying to sound like Peggy Noonan. Ick!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. great. I have to admit, I saw Halperin on PBS recently and I almost didn't know it was him. He

very verbal and very much at ease. Guess Loudmouth Joe intimidates him.

LOL !!! "but calcified"

Ew, you're right...it's Barnicle

[malaise]

3. Missed it

They will repeat it no doubt

[Democratopia]

4. What the hell is that Republican doing on MSNBC?

[Scuba]

6. MSNBC is not the liberal counterpart to Fox that the right claims it is. Joe Scab has veto power ..

... over what guests may appear on other host's shows.

Don't forget who owns them. Go up the line far enough and you'll find the world's largest defense contractor.

[demgrrrll]

8. On the evening line up too? His ratings aren't that great are they? hmmmmm.

[Scuba]

10. It's not his ratings that give him the veto power. It's his ideology.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. hate to argue with you, but, it is his show, right?

[Scuba]

13. His veto power applies to Maddow, Rev Al, et al. The Repukes own the media, don't forget.

And that includes MSNBC.

[demwing]

17. that's a bold statement

Evidence?

[Scuba]

21. Hmmm.... the evidence sems to have been scrubbed ....

The above is a post with a clip of Obermann's first Current show, where he "goes after MSNBC". He made a statement regarding Joe Scab's veto power in that clip.

I posted "What? Joe Scab has veto power over what guests appear on other MSNBC shows???? " With a comment that the statement "Starts at the 7:00 minute mark."

But I can no longer find the original video. Sorry.

16. MSNBC has just a few hours for Democratic shows. The rest of the day is Republican.

[Cosmocat]

23. They have taken a bad turn the couple of weeks

Morning Joe has always been a circle jerk for Joe.

But, almost all of the daytime shows are run by pretty tough progressives who generally don't take any right wing bullshit (except that god for saken Cycle disaster).

But, even good folks like Tameron Hall have been pushing this horse race BS the last two weeks or so.

It has been pretty dicey up until Martin Bashir.

[tavernier]

7. I can't go there this morning; too much other relevant news.

On slow news days, I will sometimes tune into Jester Joe for amusement, but not today.

[Logical]

9. Why would you not post some content a out this???

[Jack Bone]

20. sorry I had to log on & post and then go wake my daughter.

time wasn't on my side this morning.

[PearliePoo2]

14. Mika took it to Scar..she was literally in his face.

She recited all the good things Obama has done. Listed a bunch of them one by one.
Then she told him that "Romney has NOTHING...he is blowing out his hole..he has NOTHING and you KNOW IT! NOTHING..NOTHING!! Scar actually sat there and took it with a stupid grin on his face. She actually shut him up for once...amazing.
I was laughing so loud I woke up my dog.

[patricia92243]

18. She better be careful- she will lose her job :(

[kelliekat44]

22. Still stuck in Vegas from the second leg of our attempt to get home. NO MSNBC in hotel. But

there are plenty of Adelson electronic bill boards with voting instructions.

[MuhkRahker]

24. She sure did!

That was awesome, he set himself up for it, he was already trashing Romney pretty hard himself and just got cornered there!
