With Mika doing his dirty work, who needs Joe? |
|
Seriously, Jesus Mika, perhaps as Scott mcclellan said last week, if the media actually focused on the war - say with the same saturation that they do with a certain black preacher, then maybe our country would be better.
What a fucking disgrace.

1. Mika is useless and a bobblehead..no matter the topic or subject..her giggling and her |
|
"Wow" "Interesting" "you think" "Really" frickin' injections drive me nuts.
She wants to play the intellectual role but she muddies it with her little girl giggles and male pandering! Ugh!

2. How about how she interjects a skeptical 'hmmm' in the middle of responses she disagrees with. |

I've never seen her do this with eg McAulliffe (they seem to be madly in love) but she often does this with Obama spokespersons.

11. Actually her father doesn't work for the Obama camp, as he & she clarified two weeks ago when he was |
|
on the show.
And if you listen closely, she says, I have two family members that work for the campaigns...not three!
Pay attention.

27. Zbigniew Bzrezinski is Obama's foreign policy advisor |
|
What he said to Mika on TV was to avoid people criticizing Obama's foreign policy based on what Zbig says. He actually does work for the campaign and so does his son.

29. He's advised and supports the campaign, as do many others..doesn't mean he "works" for the campaign. |
|
I'm sure there are plenty of advisers to Hill's campaign not getting paid too.

35. Yes, thats what I meant to say. Youre right. But I think we all know that if... |
|
Obama gets elected, Zbig is going to be given a cabinet position. He's an "unofficial" official foreign policy advisor. :)

Trying to make it sound like Brzezinski would be a major player in an Obama administration is a right-wing talking point, a way of scaring off Jewish and other pro-Israel voters who oppose Brzezinski's ideas about Mideast policy. I wonder why you're pushing this talking point here on DU?

15. I could've sworn I heard her say her brother worked for McSame |
|
last week. They were reading emails and one accused her of being too liberal?? Was I still sleeping and got my facts mixed up?
Anyway, she once tore up a script and walked off set on live TV because she thought a Britney (or Paris??) story was too stupid to lead off with. What happened to that integrity?

There's no way she shows any support for Obama but her giggles with McAulliffe are revealing.

40. You can call bullshit all you want |

but Mika has discussed several times the different political leanings between herself, her brother Mark and her father Zbig. There's nothing wrong with her support for Hillary, y'know.

She certainly doesn't support Clinton. And her Father is Obama's foreign policy advisor - Zbigniew Bzrezinski.

I'm pretty sure that this is not true. From what I have heard, he unofficially advised Obama a total of two times. Then, Obama got rid of him. I'll try and find the link where I read this and post it here. I have never seen her say things that make me think she supports Obama, I do think she sometimes goes overboard trying to prove that she doesn't have a bias for Obama, since her brother works on his campaign, and her other brother works on McCain's campaign. I see her say positive things about Clinton literally all of the time. If anything, she is softest on McCain. I remember once a writer was criticizing her for not covering the McCain camapaign sufficiently, and she said "Hey, I call the McCain campaign every week!" ,and the writer said "Do better than that. Call them everyday. It's your JOB, as a journalist." It was a thing of beauty.

political belief. I think Mika is in the tank for McCain. Anytime, someone makes a good point about Obama she starts going "Hmmmm." Whatever the hell that means.

on my tv each morning, I hate him with a passion. :evilfrown: He is evil to the core and so pompous.
Where is he anyway? I thought he was on leave for his new baby?
Recall what happened when he blew up at Rachel... he was gone soon after that and unless I missed something, his face has not surfaced.

5. It's absolutely incredible how inane she is |
|
She is DUMBfounded as to why the accusation that the media is at least partially responsible for the Wright controversy. It's like watching someone pulling a bone out of a rapid dog's mouth.
Axelrod explained what has happened to the church since the media exploited the Wright controversy and how Obama had to cut ties. She just can't let it go and says how it's all going to come back in the fall.
Of course, it is, Mika. Your lazy faux-journalist ass will make sure lots of meaningless crap "comes up".

Could she behave any more immaturely? She acts like she's in an 8th grade class. All that giggling, mugging for the camera, acting angry, hurt, or offended. She's a dingbat.

You can't get a person on the show talking without hearing her 'Wow' 'Gosh' 'Really' and 'Interesting' every half a fucking a second. Who the fuck says 'Gosh' anyway?

nothing short of disgusting. She can't even be called a serious "pundit" since all she can manage is faux outrage, immature affectations and phony facial expressions. Not a sentence of intelligent questioning or commentary insight.. nothing but fluff and trying for the Fox News crowd.

25. The 24 hour MSM NEEDS something to talk about. This is the REAL danger of Rev Wright... |
|
If there is no available grabbing headline, they have a number of back-up talking points. Whenever they grab Reverend Wright, this is a sign that its a slow news day. Unfortunately, they all do it. If not, what else would they talk about?
