McCain Accuses MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski of Being In The Tank For Obama

[DeepModem Mom]

Source: Media Bistro

On "Morning Joe" (Tuesday), Sen. John McCain accused Mika Brzezinski of being "a supporter for Obama" and ribbed her for never visiting McCain's website to research the issues.

"'Supporter of Sen. Obama?' I'm not sure I would characterize myself that way, but that's okay." Brzezinski later added: "I take objection to that."

With a smile, McCain later called his comment "a cheap shot."

Reviewing the episode, Brzezinski said: "I think he was kidding, to an extent. But I think that was a bad joke in some ways because it's a little bit hard for a journalist to be made fun of in that way. ... No one has been more defensive about Sarah Palin as a working mother than me and I've taken on my own peers."

4. haha....Mika, a "journalist"

This is sickening in many ways...it was such a fucking SOFTBALL question, and he snapped. And, anyone who watches Morning Joe knows that Mika is anything but in the tank for Obama. I'm sure she'll bend over backwards EVEN MORE to prove her allegiance to the McCain campaign...too bad media bistro provided absolutely no context.

20. Mika? She jumped that shark this Summer! New Dynamic on Morning Joe:

5. "No one has been more defensive about Sarah Palin as a working mother than me."

Than "I," Mika, not than "me."

Let me add your lack of good grammar to the perplexing question of why on earth
you are on that television show, along with your misogynistic co-host.

A pox on both of you!

6. yea sure.. while 80% of comments about Obama are negative or preceded by negative words/inflection/

or attitude and McCain has 75% positive coverage, i see long ass kissing reports for McCain and no mention of obama.. all the time

they are always showing mccains political ad's as though they were actually "NEWS"

[jjr5]

13. I know!

Don't they want this world to change for the better?!?

15. Conservatives are organically mentally deficient, resulting in perceptual dysfunction, link>>

essentially Right Wingers are unfit to govern due to limitations in perception, and inherent inflexibility in accepting glaringly obvious irrefutable facts proving they are wrong.

7. I heard her say when the primaries were going on that

she has one relative working for the McCain campaign and one working for the Obama campaign. This was before Obama got the nod. She had stuck up for Obama all through the primaries but I noticed when Palin came into the limelight she started changing her tune AFTER she saw her speak. I don't know what happened to her but she changed. I was disappointed.

8. I must have missed

the part where she stuck up for Obama all during the primaries.Maybe in the first half, I don't know...the change happened WAY before Palin.

9. A cheap shot. I do not think he would have done it to a man.

Talking heads get paid to be objective, except at faux.

11. Isn't it obvious by now that McCain is an emotionally unstable man

Couple McCain with Palin, the closest thing to Mullah Omar fundies have, and you have a recipe for national disaster.

[SemperEadem]

12. Someone is on the defensive, it seems

madame protests too much, methinks...

Mika is more in mclame's tank than anyone else's.

[lotus007vr]

14. Sharks

Ha Ha Mika... that's what you get for always defending those talking heads... wake up... sharks have no friends.

[truebrit71]

18. Typical S.O.P. for Bully/Cowards! "I wuz only kiddin' He-He!"

That's how dear Pat Buchannan has avoided being punched -out all these years. He follows up his LIES with that LAUGH.
McCain is the only one of my fellow Vets who got Brainwashed AFTER he came home,apparently.

TOTAL ASSWIPE.

22. Brzezinski = Weak Version of Allen Colmes for MSNBC

Brzezinski is a horrible "journalist." She's only there to give a slight pretense to fairness when Joe "I killed my intern" Scarborough trashes Dems ad infinitum.
