Anyone else see Mika's interview with GOP female spokesperson re pay equity?

I wish Mika would have rebutted her more forcefully. The woman was saying that the repub party agrees with the idea of equal pay for equal work but "doesn't want the government involved in it."

Mika, a simple rebuttal would have been: we have civil rights in this country because "the government got involved" with civil rights legislation and enforcement. We didn't wait for the racists to reform themselves.

If Mika can't debate the issue better than that, she should leave the stage and let someone else do it...

As usual her pathetic attempt at bipartisanship = let conservative hacks spew crap and lie while she sits there pretending to be balanced.

This applies to every topic she is faced with but it's a real slap in the face when it involves other women.

She has never been assigned the task of being a true liberal defender.

went to bat for her to get her a better pay level on MJ. I wonder what she had to give him in return...
