Ugh. Who is this new Rightwing lady on the Morning Blow Show?

[blogslut]

Just turned the thing on to get myself good and fired up to go early vote and saw her talky-talking point about the scourge of a minimum wage raise and Obamacare...

She was on last week too. Bleh.

1. Would that be Nicole Wallace??? When I see she's on, the off button goes on..

[blogslut]

2. Yeah, it's her.

Mika just said her name. I guess Joe couldn't handle the awesomeness of Thomas Roberts and made the suits bring Wallace in to buttress his opinions.

Damn, she's horrid.

[monmouth3]

5. She also tends to become quite shrill if she thinks she's being "talked over." Mika doesn't give

two hoots for her, at least IMO. She sort of blows off whatever Nicole has to say and moves on.LOL..

12. She really needs voice modulation help. I'm fine with her raising her voice but it veers on the

screech. She should take a note from Rachel who is quite forceful but doesn't screech. Voice training would help her get her message across more effectively.

6. She was GWB's communication manager

She has become a regular panel member, helping Joe spew his GOP talking points. She came on after the Dan Senor/Campbell Brown GOP duo went to CNN.

10. Same here

She's detestable - JoeScum started off this morning saying he agreed with Jindal because Harry Reid had called Bush a LIAR and a war criminal.
Harry Reid actually spoke the truth so what exactly was the problem there.

[Ilsa]

3. The only decent thing you can say about N Wallace

is that, according to Steve Schmidt, she despises Sarah Palin. At least she's smart enough to spot One narcissistic ignoramus.

4. Nicole Wallace, long time republican shill

She has been on that show off and on for months. From Wikipedia "... communications chief during the presidency of George W. Bush and in his 2004 re-election campaign. In 2008, Wallace also served as a senior advisor for the McCain–Palin campaign." Her question to Gov. Malloy was definitely a set up to try to get a soundbite for her political masters.

7. the first hour of Morning Blow is being rerun now @8am slot

It seems that while she worked for 43, his being called a war criminal bothered her a lot. Gotta wonder why Phil Griffin hired her.

[Mike Daniels]

9. Is it now the full hour being rerun?

I recall them starting to rerun the first 15 minutes (through the first break) some time back. If they're running the full hour at this point it must be that the powers that be finally realized that Joe only has about 88 minutes of material (give or take - not counting commercial time) in him per day.

14. I don't know if it is the whole first hour

I imagine the weather and cut away from segment end shots are fresh. I was in & out of the TV room after I posted so I'm not sure. You are so right Joe doesn't have all that much in his head.

[durablend]

11. Um, because Griffin is one of them?

I mean just a hunch...

[Mike Daniels]

8. If it's Nicole Wallace she's been a regular on the show for several years

Morning Joe used to have a pretty varied and deep "bench" when it came to panelists who would appear during the week. At one point you wouldn't see the same "guest" panelist more than an hour or so during the week.

It seems that over the years they have lost a lot of that "bench" and now have the same 3-4 who appear a couple of times a week each (Wallace and Harold Ford among that group) and who stay for most of the show.

13. MSNBC hosts consider her "good" conservative

Morning Joe....well that's morning Joe

But Wallace is MSNBC's more attractive version of the Fox Liberal....Someone who has a particular ideology, but is deemed harmless.

She went after Sarah Palin a couple of years ago, which made her okay for MSNBC's hosts. Rachael Maddow has frequently had her on, and generally treats her like an old buddy.
