So was it a DU'er who wrote the e-mail to Mika Mouse on Morning Joe today?
They started off the day with the producer reading an e-mail that called Mika out for her subservient / battered housewife behavior on Morning Joe.

Mika lamely tried to defend herself but basically dribbled off to muttering her normal inanities.

Just curious as to whether the e-mail came from a poster here on this site.

1. I did write one as follows:
To: [email protected]
Subject: Why do you let Joe treat you like garbage?
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 05:46:35 -0500

Do you know that women are people? Do you need the money so bad? It is so sad for me as a woman to see you playing stupid... you could not be so whipped, so sad, so weak... could you? That guy does not have a 10th of your intelligence... Please find another job if you cannot behave as a thinking human in his show.



was this it?

3. Yep. That's the one they read. I remember the reference to Joe's intelligence.

15. Her role.... The Washington Generals..........
If you're not familiar with the term... The Harlem Globtrotters had to have "opposition" in the form of another basketball team to do their show-basketball games. The opposition was called... The Washington Generals. They lost to The Globetrotters 900 + times.

Mika and Alan Combs are.... Washington Generals.

Scar is a 95 IQ Alabama grad. Tall and good looking. A perfect Republic Party Member. I watch a few minutes of that show until Mika, The Washington General.... fails to counter Joe the Bama moron. Then I switch to ESPNU and watch a college football coach say something goofy.

21. Good looking? Scarborough looks like Matthew Perry with Down Syndrome
I agree with the rest of your post, though

6. Well, I just could not watch anymore after I sent the e-mail.
Joe is a really despicable individual with no redeeming qualities. I am glad they read it.
Thanks for the info.

11. Congrats for getting your letter read on the show!
I like Mika and wish she'd tell that blowhard to stuff it!

No wonder the woman drinks so early in the morning!

12. There must be a reason for her to have lost her spirit. I wonder
what it was. Too sad...

19. He probably showed her pictures of the murder scene in his office
You know...the one where his young female assistant ended up dead with a head injury, and the bought-and-paid-for coroner ruled it an accident?

He is a scary man....it shocks me that the news networks saw fit to put him on television.

13. It was almost the same did you mention something about being
a human being too? I was sort of listening laying in bed but your e-mail
sounds pretty right on to what they read.

I was sort of shock the producer read it.

Anyway, BRAVO, to you!!!

8. Have they ever read one calling out Joe for threatening to backhand her?
I'm disgusted with msnbc for continuing to employ a man who threatened to backhand his female co-host on live television. :mad:

9. Not that I'm aware of.
Of course, they don't have a consistent letter reading moment so I may have missed it if one was read along those lines.

10. Thanks for responding.
:-)

There's probably about as much chance of them reading an email on Joe's inappropriate comment about Mika as there is of them reading an email about Lori Klaustuis.

14. Wow, that person didn't mince any words.
I have sometimes wondered why they even bother having Mika on the show. Her presence is awkward, for the reasons the emailer listed.
