1. And Mika's cute little smirk as she squirms in her seat....daring not

to say anything, as her body language says it all. :hi:

ETA, on second thought I think that Mika may agree with some of the initiatives...but I do love her smirk and squirm when she does it.

2. The official spin from last night

A warning for ReTHUGS in Ohio and a warning for Dems in Virginia
:puke:

3. Remember this? Mika Brzezinski on Unions: "They cripple the system that makes a company work."

While Morning Joe Crew Says All Unionized Business Fail, 1,000 Execs Endorse Pro-Union Bill

<snip>Compare those comments with the clueless smackdown of unions joined in by all the Morning Joe guests, sparked by Mad Money's Jim Cramer denouncing "card check" and The New York Times business reporter, Andrew Ross Sorkin, who said, "Name a successful unionized company. Think. You're gonna go to break before you come up with one."

As Media Matters pointed out, "If Andrew Ross Sorkin's name sounds familiar, that's probably because he's the reporter who started the myth about the average GM worker being paid $70 an hour. MSNBC's Keith Olbermann named him "Worst Person in the World" for that bit of blatantly false anti-union, anti-worker propaganda."

Indeed, Sorkin and his allies on The Morning Joe show came in for a thorough thrashing from union leaders and progressive bloggers yesterday for their ignorance. Media Matters capsulized progressive outrage at the show's mindless echoing of anti-union Big Business talking points:

The Morning Joe crew was on an anti-union tear this morning, claiming the union label on a company means "sell." Mika Brzezinski went so far as to say of unions: "They cripple the system that makes a company work." Collectively, the journalists on Morning Joe couldn't name a single "successful" unionized company.

This says more about their qualifications to discuss public policy and labor relations than it says about unions. To pick just one obvious example, UPS is unionized -- and the company made more than $3 billion last year. That's "billion" with a "b," and those are profits, not revenues.

4. Joe admitted that the tea baggers overreached and americk slapped them back

Never mentioned mississippi, though. :spank:
(Mississippi voted down the life at conception bill! Yay!)

5. Half an hour in, NOT ONE WORD about yesterday's election.

But we've heard plenty about Penn State and Europe and eve Floyd Maywether doing community service. I think it's clear where this is going...it's going to be ignored. Don't want to give the Dems any hope!

6. The takeaway is REPUBLICANS SUCK

Deal with it, Scumbarrow -- your party sucks
