Tuned into Morning Joe after not watching in awhile...Is something wrong with Mika?

[KoKo]

She was posturing and posing and even reached over to fondle Scarborough's arm at one point and he withdrew his hand looking uncomfortable with her reaching. She seemed to be playing the role of the "dumb blonde" (not meaning to diss us blondes) but there seemed to be something very wrong with her kittenish antics. Is this the way she always is? Haven't watched since couple of days after election.

They didn't even know that Tom Daschle had been picked as head of Health and Human Services, saying that maybe Hillary should take that job. Then they were raving that Obama needed to pick his treasury Sec. right way and get out and speak about the economy and stock market. (excuse me? this is Bush's economy NOT Obamas)

I finally had to turn it off...sounded like Fox News the way they were going on and Mika's behavior. Is this what the show has become?

1. she's a dipshit

nt

2. Pat Buchanan just said:

"the difference between Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin, is that when she shoots you, you stay down"......

and Mike responded "That's right"!!

She is in awe of Sarah Palin.

[KoKo]

7. I turned off so missed that. They are still talking about Palin....??

Sheesh...that's why I stopped watching after election when they were carrying on about how terrible she had been treated and Mika was fawning all over what a good mother Palin was even though she had been "pulled" into the role of VP without having all the time to learn how to campaign.

12. She is just playing her role assigned to her by Joe Scarborough.

I think she is to reflect the dutiful wife with an education image. That's her job.

[Mike Daniels]

21. The 6:50 segment of News you Can't Use incorporated Huckabee's comments about Palin

so that gave them an in to keep talking about her.

I haven't seen much footage of her the last few days so hopefully once they get off the Huck Truck that will mean no more Palin for a while.

3. Does she have her Sarah Palin

hairdo today?

[Kahuna]

13. No. Thankfully she has finally stopped her adulation of all things Sarah..nt

[DoctorMyEyes]

4. She's the Paula Abdul of the morning n/t

[TexasObserver]

10. Good call!!

If VAPID ever needs a poster girl, Mika is IT.

[Atman]

5. It's her new Sarah Palin hairdo

It made her as stupid as Palin. She's trying to get Joe and Pat to fawn over her the way they did Palin.

6. Mika has made that show unwatchable for me.

I used to be able to tolerate Scarborough but I can't deal with Mika. She is awful.

[lamp_shade]

8. Yes... AWFUL... just AWFUL (as Don Imus would say).

[H2O Man]

9. There are rumors

at MSNBC about Mika and Joe's relationship.

[KoKo]

11. oh my....

that could explain it then. I wonder how far they will let it go before one of them has to leave. What I saw this a.m. made me uncomfortable and I wonder if they won't lose viewers who also pick up vibes about her behavior change.

17. Media people relationships can flame out badly in public sometimes

Maybe they'll have a tense episode on air and get them both fired. We had two news anchors in my city who were seeing each other and eventually it turned into a stalker/restraining order type ordeal. They both had to find work in other markets.

[VeraAgnes]

14. I think it's just her role on the show.

Reflects what the majority of the viewing audience represents.....She plays the dutiful, educated wife role....they appear to want viewers to relate to the players while they spin the political propaganda as directed from the corporate bosses.

It's all staged, no relationship.

[H2O Man]

18. I'm not speaking

about the show.

[Sydnie]

20. oh now, I know you're not a rumor monger, but please

do tell what the 411 is on these rumors. It's nice to have a playbook if you are going to watch the story unfold. :evilgrin:

[shadowknows69]

15. The woman really repulses me, and there aren't many that do.

Just the mannerisms and her condescending attitude when faced with facts she doesn't like. She's void. A pre-programmed talking points machine who apparently inherited none of her father's considerable intellect.

[ErinBerin84]

16. that's a good way to put it

"condescending attitude when faced with facts she doesn't like". All of her "Hmmmmm, mkayyyyy"s. And Joe is a doofus , he has a history of flipping out when people challenge him on his bullshit. Mika hmmmms and haws, and Joe tries to bully the challenger.

[Bravo Zulu]

19. MikASS said huckabee was her minister,

they showed a photo of huckabee laying hands on MikASS head?

[Mike Daniels]

22. Just a joke....like when Joe refers to Hillary as his girfriend.

[KoKo]

24. Are you serious?

Given the prominence of her dad, why would she ever be anywhere near Huckabee? :shrug: Maybe there's something we don't know about Ziggy and how he raised his kids or her if she's getting "laying on of hands" from Huckabee.

[UTUSN]

23. "what the show has become" - It never was something to start with & BUCHANAN

They have single handedly rehabilitated his image from his core Fascism and racism to making him out to be the lovable, jolly uncle.
