Morning Joe is better without Joe.

No Joe this morning and everyone is visibly more relaxed and able to speak without interruption. No endless droning (let me finish) by the host who will not allow(let me finish) anyone to interrupt him.

If you want a good recap of last night's results, this morning's discussion is good.

Mika always seems like a different person when Joe is gone.
She's more confident and professional when not cowed by his arrogance and big mouth.
Joe is disgusting.

3. I agree. When Joe is there, Mika just makes me sick.

The whole show just has such uncomfortable dynamics.

can't stand Joe. Ever since he mistreated Shuster and yelled at him in front of an audience during the last election cycle at the restaurant at breakfast. Of course Joe came off very rude. Shuster was all class.

Bad Boy Scar can't stand to be challenged or questioned. You can see that he has a terrible temper.
I thought chairs were going to start flying.
Secretly, I was hoping Shuster would take out the little slit-eyed, spoiled brat fucker.

15. Yes, Did you see the clip someone posted here for us. That was it. I thought Shuster had class.

I think Joe was embarrassed after it happened. He looked terrible.

I don't watch Morning Joe - ever - even when I'm working from home - because he gets on my nerves too much.

Can't wait for Current to host Bill Press and Stephanie Miller. Glad Shuster is over there, too.

Is he always this useless & obnoxious?

Not a morning TV fan but so excited about Stephanie Miller & Bill Press on Current!

The Young Turks was also better when Brian Unger guest-hosted. Without the constant refrain of "Of Coooooourse!"

6. The sound of Joe's voice instinctively makes me reach for the mute button.

He sounds like O'Reilly to me. And almost as smarmy.

7. I would watch a "Morning Mika" show.....

if she would be the real journalist she's capable of being.
When in Scar's presence, she embarrasses herself by letting him intimidate her, ridicule her and then she does the little girl batting her eyes crap.
Come on Mika...make your Dad proud. Prove it to Mom and Dad they didn't waste their money on your Georgetown University education.

he critizises every word she says and even before she says it. All she has to do is open her mouth and he's ready with a wise-ass retort or just questioning her mentality.
