We all already know this but it bears repeating: Lord, Mika is an idiot!

[EffieBlack]

Whining about how mean old Charlie Gibson picked on poor little Sarah asking her those nasty questions about whether she's qualified to be elected to the second highest office in the land.

Hey, Mika - take a breath from your hand-wringing over the fact that Gibson had the absolute gall to ask Palin about "hubris" - which, in your view was a sexist question that he would never asked of a man - and try to remember very recent history when your friends on Plantation Joe spent endless happy hours accusing Barack Obama for being "arrogant" because he actually thought that winning an 18-month, 50-state Democratic primary was reason to think that he actually had a right to continue running for president.

Maybe what you mean is that Gibson wouldn't ask such a question of a WHITE man, because certainly you have absolutely no problem asking such questions yourself about a man of a darker hue.

[stray cat]

1. Its sexist when they ask Palin about hubris but ok when they constantly accuse Obama of it

[Bad Thoughts]

5. Not just hubris, but arrogance and uppitiness n/t

[searchingforlight]

2. I was just writing the same post. Disgusting. These people think that everything is sexism.

[MrModerate]

9. They don't think anything is sexist. They use the term purely as an assault.

A bigger bunch of conscienceless opportunists never walked the planet. Palin is a woman so to criticize her is sexist. Nice simple equation not requiring any thought whatsoever.

[EffieBlack]

12. And these are the same people who scream bloody murder when someone suggests that

calling a black presidential candidate "uppity" might be racist - and then attacks the person for whining, personally attacking the poor person who used the offensive phrase, engaging in "victimization" politics and, of course their favorite standby: "playing the race card."

[Ichingcarpenter]

3. She said Gibson's Hubris question was sexist

Said it would not be asked if Palin was a male


Then I turned the channel

[Windy]

4. you really have to be kidding me with this.

so no tough questions to a person who will be a heartbeat away? Gibson went easy on her. This sexism crap was out of control during the primary and its WAY OUT OF CONTROL NOW! As a woman, I think this attitude is an affront to women!

[EffieBlack]

8. I wish I were

She said Gibson was patronizing, his questions were a "pop quiz," and in particular, his question about "hubris" was out of line and sexist because he never would have asked such a question of a man.

Seriously.

[ErinBerin84]

6. Mika is sexist.

[mwb970]

7. I wouldn't know.

I don't waste my time watching Morning Joe.

[City Lights]

10. Mika is an enabler.

She should have walked off the set when Joe threatened to backhand her. Instead she ducked. She disgusts me.

[C_U_L8R]

11. Makes you wonder what makes Mika qualified.

As Joe Scarbrrrgh's sidekick she performs phenomenally,
as a professional journalist, not so much

[ErinBerin84]

13. I'm not watching.

Is everyone more or less agreeing with her, or are they leaving it up to Super Feminist Mika...

:rofl:

[EffieBlack]

14. Everyone else seems to think she's a little nuts, but few are saying it

They just look at her and say, "Uh, huh - ok, anyway, as I as saying . . ."

[mtnsnake]

15. Mika's role on the that show has always been to make men look superior

She's supposed to be heard but not taken seriously. You can tell by the permanent frown on her face that she doesn't agree with her role deep down inside, but the money she's being paid to put on that act is too good to give up.

[iamthebandfanman]

16. i noticed that too along time ago

even before she became completely viral...

if she even thought of disagreeing with joe she was slapped down very quickly..
and your right, they dont act like they take her very seriously.

[ellacott]

17. Her behavior on the show is sexist

She relishes in the role of the vapid ditsy women who cowers to Joe. She's perpetuating a negative stereotype of women and is portraying herself as the submissive dumb woman.

[EffieBlack]

18. Excellent point!

[Oceansaway]

19. dead intern joe doesnt deserve the

ratings...TURN THE ASSHOLES OFF !!

[goclark]

20. I wish we had a Morning Joe Puke thread each day

That way only one person would have to watch and report the puke to us.

That way their ratings and our blood pressure stays down.

We coud take turns each day ~ I tell everyone I know that is stressing over this election to turn off the TV and turn on DU for their News.

[Ichingcarpenter]

23. Don't forget the daily 'fuck you david Gregory' thread

Sorta of like watching SAW II on purpose

[goclark]

29. Yea, wish we could list the PUKE Threads ~ Gregory

I can not stand.

ABC Gibson and Pat B. and all of them.

I would be willing to watch Morning Puke and Mika the Enabler for one day if others at DU would take their turn.

I am getting physically ill from even seeing their faces.

But, we must "know the Enemy" in order to defeat them.

[K Gardner]

21. The largest word in her vocabulary is "Hmmmm".. and of course, "Ahhhh..."

[Virginia Dare]

27. That drives me nuts, she's constantly doing that in her mike....n/t

[polichick]

22. She's got Stockholm syndrome - poor sick woman!

[Roxy66]

24. Thats exactly what she has...

[RNdaSilva]

25. Switch to CNN during Morning Joe. More palatable.

[dgibby]

26. Gosh, golly, durn

WHAT would YOU ask her Mika? Something really incisive, like got any good recipes for MOOSE STEW???:rofl:

[Virginia Dare]

28. Mika has taken it upon herself to champion Sarah Palin...

as a woman she feels it's her duty to defend her no matter how stupid and ridiculous it looks.

[chill_wind]

30. What a pack of jerks. "Thin resumes" (their bogus obsession, not mine)---

are now suddenly the best qualification for VP/second-in-line--- ever!

“We’ve got to remember what the desire is in this nation at this time. It is for no more politics as usual and somebody’s big fat résumé that maybe shows decades and decades in that Washington establishment, where, yes, they’ve had opportunities to meet heads of state.” -- Sarah Palin

[Lance_Boyle]

31. Mika Brz!jsb&%y - patron saint of the vagina voter. n/t

[butterfly77]

32. Today I will just say..

she is a empty headed wench and he is a rightwing nut job..

[TexasObserver]

33. I swear to God, MSNBC has her on there to embarrass our side.

Think about it.

The whole show is about selling RNC talking points. Having Mika on allows them to superficially suggest some balance. But she's an idiot. She mugs for the camera like a petulant CHILD. She makes even our good points sound vacuous, because she's vacuous.

[chill_wind]

34. Like Fox News' Alan Colmes, whose whole well-paid job is to lose every argument
