Did you catch Morning Joe today?

[goclark]

I almost fell out of my bed!

Mika and her guests were discussing how to make the Republican Party sane again.

Sane is the word I am using but it almost came to that ~ does anyone have the video?

Bottom line, they are starting to realize that they need to put a lot of distance between the Baggers and those that are traditional Republicans that care about important issues like "smaller government" etc.

[get the red out]

1. This could cause a civil war

The teabagger whackos are their beloved base. :popcorn:

[spanone]

2. they were also doing the 'over-exposed president' bullshit

[Walk away]

3. Once every two weeks or so I turn it on for a segment...

then I turn it off and am pissed off for the rest of the morning. Mika Brzezinski is some kind of weird "Blow Up Doll" of news. I wonder if her own father can stand to watch her sucking up to Joe and drooling about Sarah Palin all the time. She has a heart of stone when it come to the poor and the sick, I have heard spout some of the coldest lies imaginable.

On top of that she copied the ugliest hairdos of all time...the Jon & Kate Do looks even worse on her than it does on the scary Mom'O Eight.

[Mike Daniels]

8. Mika has become increasingly dismissive of Palin

I never quite understood Mika's fascination with Palin. Palin's professional arc story isn't that different from many female politicians (balancing work and family) and Palin was a lightweight even before she began to directly expose her limitations during the campaign.

That said, Mika has become more critical of Palin esp. since Palin's resignation and incoherent "quitter" speech. They touched upon Palin's book during the news segment and the only one trying to present a postive on it or Sarah was Pat Buchanan.

11. Mika has finally come to the realization that palin was wholly unqualified..

to run as V.P. When discussing something that someone was unqualified to do, she quipped, 'like running for V.P.'

4. Missed it.

Hopefully a clip will surface - it sounds promising. Some republicans have to be interested in taking their party back - they can't all be wackaloons, can they?

But mainly, I love your use of "Baggers"! Hopefully this will join birthers, deathers, tenthers, etc. in the pantheon of ridicule.

:toast:

21. Mika seemed like she wants the Baggers to stop

I read that she has a new book coming out in January.

Guess she realizes that the Baggers only "read" the signs they make --Morans.

? Are Mika and Joe still an item?
According to the Enquirer (recall they broke the John Edwards story) Mika and Joe are/were an item.

Isn't he trying to run for Congress again?

5. If the GOP wanted to make themselves look credible again ...

... they would divorce themselves from the AM Radio Hatemonger Propagandists.

And that is not likely to happen any time soon.

[PRETZEL]

6. Don't buy the hype,

mid-terms are only about a year away.

Campaign posturing. Moderates only want to be re-elected. Most don't hold much power in Congress anyway. They're doing this to get re-elected. They know they need the independant voters just as much as the Dems in those close districts.

[goclark]

17. I want to hope they realize that the baggers are not their

friends.

They are fully responsible for the actions of the baggers IMO.

They should not have let them have so much power.

MSM is to blame too -- they have let the Baggers have so much air time.

Where was the M$M when Bush was in office?

Where was the coverage for the stolen elections.

[PRETZEL]

22. But the baggers have friends in high places

with people like Boehner,Roy Blunt and Mitch McConnell leading the party, the baggers will always find friendlies.

Same with the birthers.

[goclark]

26. You are so right ~ those friends may not want to "know" the

Baggers pretty soon.

Mika was trying to put a lot of distance between the good guys :sarcasm: and the bad guys. :sarcasm:

[lunatica]

7. Doggone it! Why do I keep forgetting to watch it?!

Oh that's right. It's because I'm not interested in waking up to willful ignorance.

[CTyankee]

I loved how Arianna Huffington took apart David Frum.

She challenged him on his "rewrite" of history with the Bush administration.

20. Missed that part ~ good for Arianna! nt

[Kahuna]

10. One way would be to denounce sarah palin. But, Mika would never do that. nt

[ShortnFiery]

12. I don't ever watch Mourning Ho-Jo, it's a VILE program. eom

[SweepPicker]

16. Video Please!!

I love stuff like this. The right wingers heads will explode!

[goclark]

23. Wish I had set it to record but I never watch MJ and Mika

I was flipping channels this morning and MIKA sounded sane for at least 3 minutes.

Someone must have the video by now.

[EmilyAnne]

13. Either way, they're screwed. They can't denounce the crazies because they know without them, they

lose their base and anger their representatives in the media such as Beck and Limbaugh.

But if they keep the crazies, they will never gain enough new Republicans to swing an election.

[PA Democrat]

14. If they drove the loons from their party, who would be left?

Many of the more rational members of the Republican Party left long ago.

[Peacetrain]

15. They are now the Blue Dogs of our party...

[Orsino]

18. They're not for smaller government.

They're for ineffectual government.

[Enthusiast]

19. They are for government

that serves the interests of the corporation at the expense of the average citizen.

What possible justification is there for outspending the entire rest of the world on the military?

[triple point]

24. Only way I'd even try to catch him is if I was waving a Louisville Slugger...

:evilgrin:

[goclark]

27. LOL nt

[asdjrocky]

25. Never.
