I don't know anything about Morning Joe or Mika - what are their
qualifications to tell me anything?
I never watch the show, but a lot here must - they are mentioned every day.

1. Well
Joe is an ex-politician who killed his aide and Mika is the daughter of one of the assholes who engineered Al Queda and the current shithole that is Afghanistan.

10. Thanks for the responses. I had no idea why such jerks were on MSNBC -
they are the only program I NEVER watch on that channel, other than the weekend prison shows.

I watched about a half hour of one of their shows while in a waiting room in a hospital about 2 years ago, and would never watch it voluntarily again. I kind of liked Mika's dad when he was in the government, but she seems like an airhead. I have no use at all for Joe.
I do not have the stomach for any of these RW "NEWS" shows - I am too easily angered and disgusted.

7. I saw the dad on Rachel last night and he was singing the praises of Obama's speech.
I bet Mika was ticked.

8. I don't think so - I think she has been pretty supportive of the Obama administration
I would bet that is how she voted. I think she was completely aware of how inept a Palin vice-presidency would have been.

11. The problem is that she doesn't show much (or any) of that support on the show, from what little
I've seen.

I'd like to see her actually, on a regular basis, tell these people on the show how full of it they are and expose their lies and half-truths.

If she did that, I'd be more inclined to at least record the show and watch it later, if not stay up to watch it.

As it is now, I just sleep through those three hours of the show. It's pretty much all Repuke propaganda.

13. the show is certainly either good - or bad - depending on who they have as guests
for example - Katrina VandenHeuval we on earlier in the week. Great show.

When liz cheney is on - not so much.

All-in-all I think their guest list is pretty good.

I agree with you - she should speak up more. Makes for a much more interesting show. Buchanan does. Scarborough does. She should also

12. Zbigniew has always been fairly supportive of Obama
I wonder if Mika can get used to that, or if she just gets closer and closer to pulling a cranial Hindenburg like the rest of the right's been doing.

4. Do a DU google of Mika and Mourning Joe
They have no qualifications ~ they are just connected to hidden sources of power.

6. Joe seems to be running for office.
His show is turning into a campaign focus group, more and more. He clearly wants to get back into The Club. He talks more about his brilliant term from which he was forced to step aside after the affair with the intern who showed up dead in his office one night. Bring it on, you hateful, arrogant schmuck, Scarborough! It'd be pure blood sport.

9. The President summed it up: "Cable (pundits) are like WWE. I know all of these guys, they've got
their own characters they play, not (very enlightening)."


That said, yes, I still monitor them.
