Joe puts his fingers in his ears and sings "la la la".

The Shock Doctrine, Joe.

1. Not just the lecturing on their economic restructuring

But lecturing them on their handling of the Moscow Theater Crisis, Beslan, and then, ultimately, Georgia. We painted them constantly, and at every turn as cold-war villians. Radio Free America is still broadcasting who knows what into their country.. We've done nothing constructive to help them end the Chechen Occupation. Not just 'nothing constructive', we've actually antagonized it.

We should have treated Russia as a peer, and we have not. It will take years to undo the political damage.


Was that music actually audible over the guest speaker? That's atrocious.

[baldguy]

2. What a concept - if you want to know about Russia, ask a Russian!

[Demit]

3. LOL! He tried to dumb down the conversation and she wouldn't let him.

She wouldn't take the bait. Good on her!

[butterfly77]

4. What happened to Mika's voice...

she usually chimes in with un huh,or yes,yes, isn't this where her roots are. Mika doesn't have a damn word to say about this subject which she should know something about but,she is always opening her damn mouth about economics,politics,war,populism,etc..Things she knows nothing about.

[underpants]

5. Joe relates every single thing back to 1994 and he can't understand her doing the same

of course she is commenting on a period of massive rapid change in one of the world superpowers... that's all

[rasputin1952]

6. KvH is one of the smartest people around, Scarborough, one of

the dumbest...amazing that he can't even attempt to understand what KvH is trying to say...what a moran...:eyes:

[radiclib]

7. Why does Morning Jackass even allow her on?

Maybe it's not his decision, but she always makes him look stupid and oafish. Or maybe he's really too obtuse to be embarrassed.
Love ya :loveya: Katrina!

8. What the hell was with that musuc?

I don't watch Morning Joe. Do they always start the "break for commercial" music way too early, and loudly enough to distract from the guest?

[burning rain]

9. Joe's useless.

He's a prime class of '94 House Republican dumbass; all he knows about economics can be summed up in two words: "Capitalism rules!" Better for him just to keep his mouth shut.

[tooeyeten]

10. Come on

He's too stupid to understand!

[JJ]

11. She needs to be on TV every day.

I feel smarter just watching.

[Piewhacket]

12. wow. excellent adventure.

[Hulk]

13. The schmuck is really an idiot...but they can't let him go!

He has nothing to offer, but he will always try to redirect blame away from the repug administrations and over simplify matters of the world. What a pea brain.

That music interruption is insulting. It fits right in with something joe the big head would use.
