Hot Times on MSNBC: Mika and Joe?

[goclark]

I know, it's that silly Enquirer again.

This time they are probably making up a story about Mika and Joe....

p.37 Dec. 29, 2008 edition

..."We bet you can't guess which foul-mouthed, high profile MSNBC star is having an affair with his sexy co-worker. Now we know why all that political talk gets him so steamed up!"

John Edwards, where are you?

[thunder rising]

1. If there is an affair is 'cause Mika got horny.

[goclark]

22. Mika is really not ready for prime time. nt

[goclark]

2. I'm a woman and I can't imagine ever

getting turned on by Intern Joe.

I can't even imagine Mika liking him in the least.

But I recall they were talking on the air about her drinking Vodka during the show.

Someone at DU has a post about it.

I can't imagine getting drunk enough to look at Joe. What a slime ball.

:shrug:

[democracy1st]

3. Mika needs some meat on those bones,she's built like a pencil

[goclark]

15. Something tells me Joe must be enchanted

by her.

I seem to remember when she first came on, she was at least nice.

Now he bullies her if she makes any statement he doesn't agree with.

I bet she is a battered woman.
Joe is pure evil.
When his eye lids close and he gets that mean look,I can't take it.

No wonder they say she drinks on the set, who could take the abuse.

Has she read about the intern? :shrug:

[H2O Man]

4. I had mentioned this

a few months back.

[goclark]

5. I missed it H20 Man ~ you mean it's

really true?

Isn't Mourning Joe married with young kids?

Not that it would change anything, but :shrug:

[H2O Man]

6. I cannot verify

if it is actually true. I can verify that a number of co-workers believed it was taking place.

[goclark]

13. I confess, I read the Enquirer

and this article was written in a stange way.

It is on the same page as a huge article about Edwards' Mistress...
"Forced To move as "Hush Money" Stops"

The article in question is in the bottom right corner of the page.

HOT TIMES on MSNBC is in big red letters and the entire story takes only 14 lines with about 3 /4 words in each line.

Your eye is immediately drawn to the HOT TIMES article.

Seems like a teaser to get more people to inform the publishers about the "relationship" between the two of them.

Bet someone will get big money if they tell more.

[Tennessee Gal]

36. Oh barf!

I thought Mika had at least enough sense not to do this.

[4 t 4]

7. She better be very careful

with her life. Remember what happened before Joe's intern suddenly found dead in his office. 28 year old in perfect health

[Cleita]

8. Yeppers. n/t

[goclark]

20. I would never have put those two together

What happened to his wife and kids?

[Raine]

24. Yeah and what happened to her husband and

two kids?

[goclark]

26. I didn't know she was married and didn't know about the kids either

Isn't he married too?

Did you see the photos in this thread with the two of them holding a teddy bear? Sure looked like a date to me.

[Raine]

35. Yeah they are BOTH married with young children

something about that photo with the bear screams "more than friends".

[Missy Vixen]

9. Oh, those craaaazy kids!

Gosh. It's stimulating MY gag reflex!

[goclark]

14. The thought of the two of them together

is not pleasant.

Didn't his wife just have a baby last summer?

Not that it would matter to Evil Joe.

[Venceremos]

10. Ugh - now I can't get the picture of those two out of my mind n/t

[global1]

11. Will They Be Stalked By The Papparazi Like Edwards Was?....nt

[goclark]

19. Probably not ~ it been under the radar for a while I suppose

:shrug:

[PA Democrat]

12. Joe has a mean streak that I wouldn't want to deal with

even if he was the last man on earth. If he treats people who disagree with him on air as badly as he does, imagine what he's like off camera.

[camera obscura]

17. "even if he was the last man on earth" - yikes, exactly.

I can't imagine voluntarily spending time with him. But the rumors have been around for months...

[goclark]

21. You are right~ I would have to be put in chains

to spend 5 minutes in his presence.

He is so repulsive in my view.

To each his/her own and now I know that Mika must be insane if she is making it with him.

[SoCalDem]

16. Here's some candid shots of the "lovebirds"

[goclark]

18. What's with the little Teddy Bear? Looks like a date to me

They look so happy together ~ huum.

Very interesting!

[global1]

23. Wiki Says Mika Is Married With Two Children......

Here's the quote: "Since 1993, Brzezinski has been married to TV news reporter James Hoffer, now of WABC-TV/WABC-DT.<4> They have two children."

Her husband must be proud of her.

[Raine]

25. Mika is such a bobble headed mouse

always nodding and agreeing with whatever Joe blows out his rear. :puke:

[goclark]

27. Bobble head is the perfect name for her

She has no spine.

Was she hired because they were dating or what?

[stanwyck]

30. She's an anachronism. If this were the 1950's, she

would be the perfect hostess. She was particularly vapid this past week discussing the stimulus package. She kept up her indignant "well, I'm sorry. I just don't see where there is anything in this bill for the Republicans." Then she made an inane comment about "dumping money into education."
Barbara Boxer ate her for lunch.
I thought Mika was going to cry. Seriously. Later, after Boxer's triumphant exit, Mika continued to pout and attempt to refute Boxer's very well executed rant on exactly what that "dumping of money" would do for education. Mika came across as petty and ill-informed.
Move her to Fox and Friends.

[goclark]

31. I wish she would cry right into her Vodka

She is an abused woman and she needs to grow up.

She must be rich and why she has to sink as low as Joe is beyond me.

Airhead is the word that comes to mind.

I wonder how she was "selected" for that job.

Does anyone remember when Joe was "off the show" for about two weeks last summer I think it was ~ something about his child was sick or his wife just had a baby.

Before that happened Mica was at least watchable than when he came back they were both ready for Fox News.

[Cash_thatswhatiwant]

28. this has been reported/speculated by gawker and was reported in Page 6 too.

Joe's wife also suspects theyre having an affair which has caused a whole bunch of off-air problems.

also people on the set having been suspecting this for a while.

[goclark]

32. I can't get that Teddy Bear picture out of my mind

the one up thread.

Look how happy "in love like" she looks.

Look how his s;imy fingers are on her shoulders.

There is definately something going on between them -- maybe they deserve each other.

[book_worm]

29. but..but...Joe says he left congress to spend more time with his family

[goclark]

34. Does he spend more time with his family or with Mika?

For sure he spends 5 mornings with her, I am still in shock that they are even connected.

[Octafish]

33. Mika! Ask Joe about Lori Klausutis!

Joe Scarborough and Corporate McPravda want you to forget Lori Klausutis

Almost forgot. Remember never, ever turn your back on him.

[goclark]

37. Hi Octafish ~ what powerful connections did he have to get the job

and keep the job at MSNBC?
There must be people with more talent, it would not take an ounce of talent to be more talented than Joe.

:shrug:

Was he in charge of counting the ballots in Florida for GWB?

[Le Taz Hot]

38. OK, I feel REALLY stupid now.

I honest to goddess thought that WAS his wife. I'm always referring to her as his Stepford Wife. Oy! :blush:

[goclark]

40. That's funny! She does act like Mika Stepford

but he is married and according to a post or two, she is married as well.

See up thread.

It certainly is not the first time or the last time that has happened with Co- Workers.

[KharmaTrain]

39. Yeah, The Bosses Would Surely Like That...

It's one thing about having an affair on a movie lot...it's a temporary thing. But it's another when it's a TV show...the last thing you want is any kind of extraciricular activity by any of your "stars". Imagine if both were caught or just the friction around the set.

IRC...aren't both of them married? Not that I discount the gossip (or that I really care), but I've heard of a lot of affairs that never were.

[goclark]

41. The Enquirer is pretty good at this kind of thing

They will pay big money for their sources, just ask John Edwards.

That doesn't mean it is true, just saying.

I must admit, I can't think of anyone being attracted to Mourning Joe.
