Morning Joe owned by Tweety!!

[Doityourself]

pretty much told him to back the president and don't jump the gun, and stop being an asshole...gotta love Matthews...

Scab and Mika tryna attack Chris..

Matthews told them, we need a successful president, how could you not root for his success.

[renie408]

1. I bet KnowItAll Joe was fit to be tied!! n/t

[Doityourself]

3. He tried to contain, so did Mika with the "we are suppose to ask questions" BS...

It didn't fly.

[renie408]

9. Maybe if they had asked any questions about Bush for the past five or six

years, that might have gone over better.

[Mike Daniels]

29. Mika would be more credible if she hadn't acted like a horny school-boy re: Palin

Even as more and more evidence piles up from the McCain camp that Palin was a disaster Mika still pines for her.

[Ilsa]

33. I can see Mika defending her from the standpoint

that the McCain aides are going to attack her for being a part of McCain's downfall. But Mika needs to "get real" about Palin being ignorant. Mika can't bring herself to admit that Palin doesn't have enough general knowledge about the world, let alone governing, to be in such an important position.

[Kahuna]

50. And Mika is still trying to copy her hairstyle. How nutty is that?

:crazy:

[Cha]

51. Yeah, I can imagine their fucked up "questions". What

QUESTIONS did they ask mcfucked?

[butterfly77]

67. Both of them are trying their best...

to get some issue to latch on to. Scarbourgh tries to act as if he is so concerned, why in the hell does anyone care if someone hasn't made a decision yet about whether or not to take the job. I was screaming at the tv as they began to show tweety but, I had to leave I could see that tweety didn't like what he was hearing.

Mika is one silly bitch,she and scarb are trying to start this thing about Obama and his cabinet don't want the media to ask questions. I am already sick of this so called media everyday now telling us what Obama needs to do or not do.Where in the hell were these so called media for the past 8 years as I screamed at the television when these people didn't ask bush or his team any questions because they were afraid...Got to hell media! The people have spoken...

[ej510]

2. We already knew dead intern Joe was a piece of shit,

but Mika is an asshole.

[nc4bo]

4. Matthews had Joe & Co. stammering and bumbling this morning.

I hardly ever turn on Joe Scumbag but I was curious about what type of post-election crap would be spewed, i wasn't let down but Tweety seriously handed Scumbum his ass.

Thanks Tweety for keeping it real and calling out the bs!!

[Cha]

53. Really! I didn't see it but it sounds like

a Gift!

[KevinHarring]

5. yah

Yah I saw that too.

[RunningFromCongress]

6. Tweety is gonna get REALLY partisan soon, he's running for senate as an Obama dem

[JaneQPublic]

31. Tweety could be the go-to filibuster guy, the way he can talk.

Too bad for him, the Dems won't need to filibuster any time soon.

[Christian30]

7. I've been really surprised

at just how aggressively Matthews has been saying that Obama has a mandate and seemingly warning the right not to be obstructionist. Hell, even Buchanan was saying that Obama had a mandate to pass middle class tax cuts and some others things we really want. :)

[DCBob]

8. These Republicans who are still hammeriing Obama are disgusting and not true patriots.

This country needs to be united now more than ever. Right after 9/11 Bush had about a 90% approval rate. Democrats knew they had to support the CIC no matter what political differences we had. Now the tables are turned. Repubs need to get in line.

[renie408]

10. That is a fine line, my friend, which has to be tread most carefully.

I spent the past eight years being called a traitor for questioning the President. I think we need to be REALLY careful about pushing that line of thinking. I didn't like it when it was applied to liberals and I don't think I like it when it is applied to conservatives, either.

[wellstone dem]

12. Matthews wasn't saying don't question, he was saying this issue

Rahm's status, is not important, we should not be sidetracked to talk about little issues with the result of undermining our president. He then went on to talk about the broader picture, who is going to be in the cabinet rather than the details of rolling out those appointments. I had to listen to the whole interchange to understand his important point.

[DCBob]

13. A bit of a snark. Just to show how dumb their attacks on us were using the same words.

But it is time for everyone to stop campaigning and start saving the country and the world.

[LittleApple81]

14. The way to do this is to get the MONEY to start powerhouses for liberal radio and TV.

We cannot fight the ignorance in Democratic Underground alone.

[Kalyke]

47. And focus those efforts IMMEDIATELY in Appalachia.

The No. 1 reason my neighbors here are so willfully uninformed is because we have NOTHING but right-wing radio, television and newspapers down here.

[AspenRose]

52. Amen

Let's turn WV blue again! And get some new jobs in there so the young ones can return to the state.

[Kalyke]

63. And Tennessee, too!

[nc4bo]

18. Matthews was right on the line and riding it. He basically asked out loud

Who would not want an Obama Administration to succeed - the stammering continued.

My impression was Tweety really was saying if "you" (and I think he was referring to Joe in particular) do not support this Administration (nor a competent journalist), than you are not really a patriotic American. Paraphrasing, "Why wouldn't you want an Obama admin. to succeed?)

He also reminded Scar of what the responsibilities are of a being a real journalist.

Tweety was good and he was deadly serious.

[Mudoria]

46. The biggest problem for Joe

is that he really isn't a journalist. Matthews is. You can tell the difference in the way they interview people on their shows. Matthews doesn't suffer fools gladly and will skewer anyone from both sides of the political spectrum if he finds them being evasive or just outright stupid (sometimes, as with the case of Michele Bachmann he just shuts up and lets them hang themself :)). Scarborough oth, is still a partisan hack, who has moments where he attempts to be even-handed (and fails more often than not).

[Big Blue Marble]

21. We questioned Bushe from the beginning

because the election was illegitimate. If he had been truly elected we, too,
would have supported him initially and waited to see how he governed.

[bushisanidiot]

AWOL Bush appointed his Big Oil buddies to high level positions in his cabinet!!

of course we complained! And look what happened!! American BIG OIL companies RAPED americans for all they were worth. They made record profits quarter after fucking quarter which caused america to come to it's knees because we, as a nation, CANNOT afford $4+ a gallon for gasoline!!!!!!

We had every right to question why he chose who he chose and it turned out we were EXACTLY RIGHT about what his plans were.

[polichick]

11. Chris was the adult - Joe and Co. are like dumbshits in a frat house.

[Supersedeas]

71. pretty much hates to hear people label McNasty's campaign as a campaign of FEAR--which is was

the truth hurts lil' Skankburg and Mika Mouse

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. I don't think he made his point very well - but he was right. Americans

want to stop the petty bs. He should have said it was a petty diversion. IMHO

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. I don't think he made his point very well - but he was right. Americans

[bobd0]

17. My wife had Moron Joe on again during breakfast -- ruining my excellent made-from-scratch pancakes

This asshole was complaining about the Emanuel pick yesterday, comparing him with TOM DELAY, of all people, yet today the son-of-a-bitch is whining about disarray in the Obama campaign and "stumbling out of the starting gate" because Rom Emanuel is HONEST enough to vet his feelings about the pressure this job would put on his family.

This is the typical Republican attack strategy that was used against Bill Clinton. The typical Republican attack strategy that the McCain campaign used. People like Moron Joe care NOTHING about the nation. They care NOTHING about seeing this nation rise from the ashes of the Bush years. They care only about tearing down Obama even though it's less than 48 hours since he was declared President-elect and it is months before he will even be sworn in!

I asked my wife why she just doesn't watch FOX. I told her I won't have this idiot talking in the background and ruining my breakfast every morning with his thinly veiled diatribe. She still insists she watches because of the guests but I pointed out that all Moron Joe does is talk over the guests when they're making a point he disagrees with anyway. She's agreed to record the idiot and his slut sidekick Mika an spare me from having to eat breakfast alone in my den.

I can't take any more of this murderer from the Redneck Riviera (HIS words, not mine). I think we should let MSNBC know we're boycotting Moron Joe and get this partisan asshole off the air or on FOX where he belongs.

[PCIntern]

30. Ooooh....PANcakes...

What time tomorrow? I'll be there!

:9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9

[SoxFan]

36. Pancakes?

[bobd0]

40. LOL

[bobd0]

39. Can't have them two days in a row! I'll let you know what time to be here

next week.

You'll love my recipe. And the fresh fruit. And REAL maple syrup.

We even had Mimosas this time with the remainder of the Proseco from election night. :)

[PCIntern]

69. What an ELITIST you are!!

Probably have Starbucks coffee beans you grind yourself!

Also sounds like you're 'edumacated'!

:hi:

[bobd0]

70. Yes, I grind my own beans and I was fortunate enough to have the benefit of a good education.

I'm a proud liberal elitist. Does that make me a bad person?

I'm off now to enjoy my afternoon macchiato.

:hi:

[MiniMe]

19. Damn Joe, even Hannity wants Obama to be successful

I actually watched H&C last night just to see what he would say. Hannity said several times that he wanted the Obama Presidency to be successful, it is too important to the country if he doesn't succeed. Of course, then he ruined it by saying "but here is what worries me" and then spouts off the usual BS.

They had Rove on and Rove seemed to be in shock. He expected Obama to win, but I think he really thought it would be close.

[Kahuna]

20. He sure was. Then Brokaw twisted the knife in.

:applause:

[Doityourself]

24. I saw that too..it's about time Brokaw came into the light...

[ErinBerin84]

25. what did Brokaw say? (sorry, didn't watch this morning)

[Kahuna]

49. Brokaw basically reiterated what Tweety said about supporting

our new president. :patriot: Joe and Mika didn't like that. But they sputtered a bit and then dropped it. TOM had spoken. ;)

[CTyankee]

22. I was waiting for/wanting Chris to tell Joe to stuff it, but he was nice with his put down.

I think he was trying hard not to lose his temper with Joe who was clearly just being churlish. I got the feeling Chris was sorry he came on the show this morning in the first place.

Joe looked pathetic. If this is all he's got, he's the biggest loser on the tv talk shows...

[Virginia Dare]

23. Joe is still dangerously skirting the "uppity black man" territory..

I keep waiting for him to really fuck up so he can be gone already.

[Doityourself]

26. It would be nice..but his colors are seriously coming through n/t

[Jennicut]

27. Obama has a mandate, Joe Scar once thought Shrub did at 2%!

Nope, but Obama does at 7%. Its not even close at that amount. Obama won lots of states, a good anount of electoral votes and an overwhelming popular vote. Not Reagan era landslide but in today's partisan atmosphere, it was big. I do not think opposing views should be stifled or shut up like the Rethugs tried to do with us, we are better then that. However, Joe Scar also does not need to be a total A-hole 24/7 about Obama winning and also needs to realize the American people have spoken and they want a turn to the left away from the right, even if its just a slight turn. Even Rove of all people said the people have made it clear and this is a Democracy.

[Youphemism]

28. Joe is just looking for anything to gawk at to cover the latest Palin story...

Mika the Dingbat has gone along with Joe's whitewashing of Palin's shortcomings. They were both blaming her handlers exclusively for the prank call that embarrassed her in front of the world.

Sure, the call should never have gotten through and the staffer who failed on that should be fired.

But she sat there and listened to the most ridiculous crap for almost seven minutes without catching on. She was not listening to what he was saying and showed no interest in it -- she was concentrating entirely on her performance, like the faker she is. The most basic level of interest would have prompted her to ask polite questions that would have exposed the ruse without potentially offending an actual head of state who was just drunk or something.

She doesn't listen. She's all about projecting herself and trying not to screw up.

[livetohike]

32. I'm still waiting for one of the talking heads to say these words:

"Sarah Palin is stupid and not smarter than a fifth grader, nor will she ever be." It's so obvious, but not one of them will say it. She will never get smart enough in four years to fool people that she is ready for the White House.

[Youphemism]

34. I have a slightly different assessment. I just posted this on another thread...

She knows she's ignorant. She's all about faking it.

Everything this woman has done, her diarrhea of the mouth, her eagerness to attack anyone who questions her -- remember when she even attacked people who were just asking her to speak louder at a campaign event? -- these things clearly indicate that she knows she's ignorant.

As to why, if reports are true, she got petulant and refused to let staffers give her remedial geography lessons, I suspect they didn't properly conceal their exasperation or amazement at her lack of basic depth. Because she's always covering up what she doesn't know, she resorted to her standard tactic and went on the offensive against them.

It seems so obvious that this woman has gone through her life faking it. She has the speaking and grammatical ability of a second or third year high school student and the civics and geography ability of a first or second year high school student.

She exhibits many characteristics of a person trying to fake her way through a job interview, or a schoolkid trying to fake her way through a report on a book she hasn't read.

She's neither exceptionally bright nor exceptionally stupid (but she's certainly exceptionally ignorant for the job she was seeking to get). She's clever, but with attention deficit issues and with the domineering, defensive attitude of an insecure person.

Observations of knowledge aren't very subjective. There are objective standards that can be applied to evaluate her capabilities, and to gauge her knowledge better than my guesstimate.

What amazes me is the number of people -- many of them very smart themselves -- who apply these standards to make an impartial assessment of her. Anyone who has ever interacted with a poseur can see those traits in her.

[livetohike]

37. Excellent analysis

I taught fifth graders - years ago. Palin reminded me of all those students who didn't know the answer and would just stall, or say something funny to cover for themselves. I hope we have seen the last of her.

[Tatiana]

38. +1

Completely agree.

[Doityourself]

42. Completely agree. She's living off of her father's name!! At least IMHO...n/t

[Kahuna]

54. My email to Morning Joe about Mika's defense of Failin....

Subject: Wrongo Mika!!! Sarah looks just as bad as her staffers

She knew she was a dunce when she accepted the job. I never do that. When I'm offered a position I look over all of the requirements very carefully and I'm upfront about what I know and what I do not know. It was just as much Sarah's responsibility to exempt herself from a job she was unqualified to do as it was the McCain staff.

[GalleryGod]

61. Joey ranted on Rahm E...and was talking how/why/when he got out...Not the WHOLE truth

Right Joey?

[Butch350]

58. The most basic level of interest...

The most basic level of interest would have prompted her to ask polite questions.

You give her too much credit. Like what questions would she have asked? "Can you see Alaska from your window"?

[Condem]

35. Tim Russert's death has set Matthews free.

Looked up to Russert too much. Russert never gave Matthews a sense of respect.

[valerief]

41. Saw that. It was great. nt

[ErinBerin84]

43. posted this last night, but just a reminder about how wrong Joe always is.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-mitchell/when-joe-scarborough-pred_b_141380.html

"Say it ain't so, Joe! Here is one highlight.

SCARBOROUGH: "Even before the final votes were tallied in the 2006 elections, politicians started lining up for the 2008 presidential sweepstakes. Without further ado, let me kill Hamlet in the first act and tell you how your favorite candidate will fare over the next 12 months.

"Barack Obama: Forget the fact this guy's middle name is 'Hussein.' Forget the fact he has been in national politics for less than two years. Forget the fact that Hillary Clinton will raise more money than God in 2007. Forget all of that, the Washington press tells us, because Barack Obama is none other than the second coming of JFK.

"Yeah, right. Barack Hussein Obama is more Johnny Bravo than John Kennedy. The vest fits and the fans scream while DC's star-maker machinery shifts into overdrive."

"Like Peter Brady's Bravo, Obama's shot at the top will be short lived. But since BHO is young enough, dynamic enough and (just) black enough to whip official Washington into a frenzy, expect this stupid story to stick around for a while. Soon enough though, this year's model will be shouting, "Please give a warm Chicago welcome to the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton!'"

[amoreena]

44. Mourning Joe aka Moron Joe

and his worthless sidekick Mika Mouse. She is an embarrassment and is probably jeopardizing any chance her father has of a role in Pres. Obama's administration.

[bobd0]

48. YES! MORON JOE! If that name sticks I guaranty his head will explode! :)

[Doityourself]

45. I hope somebody sent this to Mourning Joe!!!

[ErinBerin84]

55. does anyone notice....

that the Huffington Post media editor HATES Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann? They have this exchange on their media page today, with the implication that Mr Journalist Joe was right, and also have a story on how Keith called out Campbell Brown for her false propaganda, with the headline "IT STARTS" and "KEITH ATTACKS BROWN"...attacks? I think it's because the media editor supported Hillary Clinton.

[Skidmore]

56. Is there video of this somewhere?

I would like to see that exchange.

[NoodleyAppendage]

57. PLEASE. Does someone have a video link?????? n/t

59. It was sad. Combined X10 Mika & Scab don't have CM's public service resume!

She acts like the job is just "too much" for her...every damn day.
Get out,Mika!
Just get out,Douchebag for Liberty!
:rant:

[Lucian]

60. Mika adds nothing to the show except sucking up to Joe.

She's about as useful as an iPod is to a deaf guy.

[GalleryGod]

62. Apparently-rumored to be spiking the coffee each morning with a bit o' "Skye"

Poor poor Mika, she caint hep it!:sarcasm:

[jayfish]

66. No Rumor About It.

She admitted to it on-air.

Jay

[Cleita]

65. Yeah Joe, in Keith Olberman's immortal words,

"Get a shovel!"

[Lumpsum]

72. Joe and Mika wouldn't know the first fucking thing about journalism

Even if it hit them upside their dumb heads.

Good job, Chris.
