Scabs faithful to MikaMouse; rejects CBS for his solo show

[UTUSN]

I'm going to say a bit positive about MikaMouse. I've sniped at her from the beginning and WILL CONTINUE because of her kow-towing to the wingnuts and the bad kind of males and because of her legacy kid status of getting flashy jobs because of her family connections AND because, as the daughter of a Democratic president's staffer, she doesn't live up to my expectations of being Lib AND because she's flaky and dim. Uh, whew!1 Is *that* going to be offset by anything nice I can say?!1

But she has gone out of her way to be nice and respectful to her ex-boss at CBS, Dan RATHER, has been kind in either getting him booked on the air or at least treated him with special kindness when he's there. Well, let's see, FOUR terrible things and ONE nice one!1

As for this link being from the NYP, the Gawker site has been troublesome ever since they tinkered with their software (cough), the malady of websites that were ALREADY GREAT withOUT the tinkering (cough, cough).

Shopping Joe

Despite the fact that MSNBC denies changes are afoot at "Morning Joe," sources say co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough have been shopping a new show for syndication since last year, hoping to reach a wider audi ence. We hear the pair brought their proposal to CBS, but execs were only interested in Scarborough. A rep for "Morning Joe" said, "No changes afoot. The rumor isn't true," and a rep for CBS said, "No comment."

1. Media people are always shopping around for a better deal.

If it is true, Joe knows that Mika is the secret to his "success". She is the leavening..he's the flour..

without her, he's just another paunchy , beady-eyed republican guy with no morals or brains

3. To her credit...

she has done a complete turn-around on Sarah fuckin' McMooseKiller.
On today's show, when the subject of Queen Twitter-Quitter came up, Mika did a little sneer and rolled her eyes.
YES! :thumbsup:

4. I also got the impression from her that when she left CBS, it was

NOT under the best of terms on her part.

I used to watch UTTM when she was much younger & always liked her. but she never got very far with CBS.. She may not want to go back there.

Truthfully, I don't think their type of show would work on a regular network.

I don't see any network switching formats for them in the early shows they all currently have, and after those shows end, they already have programming.

Cable is their genre, and they would be smart to stay put..

Can you see Joe in a cooking segment:rofl:

5. Didn't David Shuster get fired by MSNBC....

for "shopping"?
