14. Yep, had to stay in New York...
Tucky Carlson took over for him. So much for the "librul media".

15. Really? Oh so that's why he was separate from the rest of the panel last night...
I think? Yeah, so much for that "liberal bias" indeed. :eyes: Of course it was never really there, what with the media's unabashed asskissing of McCain for the last eight years and all....and now his campaign cries about the media? LOL. What bullshit..

and went back to work a few days after giving birth.

I wonder sometimes what the fuck happened to MIka.
She started off so strong and independent.. she would
dress Scarborough down on a regular basis... and she
would stand up for the right thing. But the last 6-9 months,
it's like someone fed her Theocon pills. She's on the
regressionist side of every issue and she acts like
Scarborough's happy little lapdog. Sure she rolls her
eyes now and then, but godammit Mika, be your own woman !!!

16. Once the NYT did the piece on Joe S. as host of Morning Joe
Mika and Willie got shoved into the background.

The three of them had a nice dynamic and back and forth up till that point. Once Joe became the "star" the others were probably told sit down, agree with Joe and don't draw attention to yourself.

The show is now an ego vehicle/echo chamber for JS and it's becoming an unenjoyable train wreck.

18. The Stockholm Syndrome Is What Happened To Mika........
The Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in an abducted hostage, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which they have been placed.

19. Scarborough yells and talks right over her. She won't raise her voice
and only speaks here and there when there's a second of space between his sentences.. and she's usually just agreeing with him. If she disagree's it's in the form of rolling her eyes or making a one or two word statement before he talks over her and she shuts up immediately.

I think she was put there to make Scarborough look powerful.. or feel powerful. Her job is to be meek and mild and not have much of an opinion. She's background noise like filler like they have on the radio.

5. Just take the pledge like I did and stop watching her.
You already know exactly what she's gonna do. I could "do" her on any given political subject and I'd prolly be 100% correct.

7. Yeah, and she's not exactly looking beyond the superficial (return to work, and guns)
Morning Joe show is pretty much unwatchable.

13. I've been watching it in the morning before classes just out of curiousity..
Edited on Wed Sep-03-08 01:44 PM by latte_liberal_86
but am thinking of forgoing it for now on, at least until after the rest of the RNC. I'm sure she'll be drooling all over Palin after her speech tonight. She acts like she's in love with her....blech (and only because it's Palin..) . x( lol..

22. Mika was using the code phrases "liberal media' "sexism" "far left bloggers"
"unfair' like she read the memo. I turned the sound off and then watched her, bobbling her head, nervous ticks,
darting and blinking her eyes and fake smile. They had 3 other women on the panel and I don't know who they were but I notice known of the odd uncomfortable behavior that I saw from Mika.

Maybe she is always like that but I never observed in this way before.

23. Lord help me, I've been finding myself agreeing with Joe more than her these days.. LOL
Hey, at least he's been criticizing the way in which Palin was chosen, her preparedness, etc...and he's a Republican!

17. Mika disappoints me a lot.
I think that her grandfather was my political science professor in college. He was the brother of the former prime minister and president in exile of Czechoslovakia (when it was Czechoslovakia).

I remember that my professor's name was Benes, but I don't remember his first name (wouldn't have used it, obviously, since I was a freshman). I really, really liked her grandfather.

Her grandfather was not easily intimidated. Mika is too intent on pleasing Joe Scarborough. Mika should stop playing second fiddle. Mika, you only live once. Be yourself. Don't bow for money, fame or fake love. You'll regret it.

21. Did any of them explain why they thought Palin was an awful choice before she was picked?
It was last Friday, they went on and on about how the rumor couldn't be true, she would be a horrible pick, blah blah blah.

Now they love her. Did they say why the change?

24. Well, Mika claims it's because she's being "picked on" and that it's "sexist"..
even though not one of the criticisms (from our side at least) has to do with her being a woman, but rather her qualifications. I don't think anyone is saying she shouldn't be VP just because she's a mom (although some of her judgments as such have no doubt been questionable, but I prefer to stick to the issues and those are what most of the questions McCain is so pissed about are pertaining to..), like Mika keeps on whiningly suggesting.. :eyes:
