Friday morning with Mika & 'Petulant Joe' - here we go again

Joe Scrobro is in slow meltdown mode.

Frickin' great video of Petulant Joe on 'Race to the White House' yesterday.
He walks off the set after an exchange with Rachel Maddow !

Huffington Post article and video link here .

DU thread What is Joe Scarborough's problem? here.

At one point, Rachel says, "Joe, let me make my point and THEN you can dismiss me".
A bit later, Joe says "I don't mean to be condescending...", and Rachel's facial expression is priceless.
Love it! Go Rachel! Eat it Joe!

Joe is extra peevish with Rachel because her star is rising at MSNBC, while his is falling swiftly. Poor, petulant Joe.

Here's a dynamite duo - A pair of women. How about Mika & Rachel? That would be some show!
Two super sharp, brilliant women. The new face of political news coverage and talk!

This morning, Joe Scrobro claims the reason ABC's Presidential Debate last night received the most viewers of all debates, is specifically because (get this) they spent the first 45 minutes on the silly, inane, superficial topics. He said that when real issues are discussed, viewers become bored. After 15 minutes on health care, they fall asleep. (He demonstrates a viewer dozing off, chin hitting his chest.)

How about it had the highest number of viewers because the prolonged primary between Obama and Clinton is exciting and driving interest up? NOT TO MENTION it was on regular broadcast TV instead of cable? Sheesh!

1. Has he made any mention of his absence from the last shot?

Or do we have to wait for Rachel this evening to find out what happened?

3. Nope, no mention at all. He should be embarrassed.

It'll be interesting to see if Rachel says anything...

2. I tried to watch him this morning just to see if any mention

would be made of his tantrum last night but just couldn't do it. He makes me want to slap his face. I wish Mika would stop playing 'big sister/mommy' to his 'I'm just a rascally scamp' antics.

4. Frankly

I'm losing my "like" of Mika. Most of the time you just hear her in the back round sighing...or softly commenting("Ohhh, I don't know, but, but, but what if, ohhhh")..petting a dog....and every once in a while she'll make a substantive comment.

Joe can't handle a woman like Rachel...he needs to be paired with Mika's, who allow him to control topics and control how HIS audience sees an issue.

6. We were discussing that a while ago, how the interaction

between Mika and Joe has changed. She used to be a sharper, stronger personality with him and everyone loved watching her stand up for herself. There's been a shift/change in the balance and she's more accommodating and 'pleasing', as you mention. Joe is losing stature, regard, respect and is becoming temperamental and volatile at times. I wonder if Mika's just trying to keep things going smoothly. I hope Joe's on his way out soon.

7. Me too; he treats her like dogshit

and she sits there and takes it.


What a tool.

5. I loved Rachel's expression near the end when Joe was trying to talk over her

yet again.

8. Great McCain picture!
