Mika's A Clueless Idiot, But Then Again, So Is Joe Scarborough

I don't watch MSNBC's Morning Joe, the sole program on their schedule that I can't stand. It's the channel's defense against being called "the Obama Network", and co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are typical closet wingnuts: they sound sensible, until you actually listen to what they're saying. Then your brain starts burning from all the rightwing nonsense. They provide "balance", though, I guess. But until Faux News gives Keith Olbermann airtime, I'll gladly keep missing their show.

This morning the hapless pair, with the assistance of wingnut supreme Pat Buchanan, tried to take on Nobel laureate Paul Krugman about the economic stimulus plan. Mazel tov! It's a long video, but worth watching. Krugman begins taking them to school at 4:30.

Amen! I feel the same way about this show, but occasionally watch it in the mornings as I'm getting the kids ready (it just barely beats the Today show or local news.)

I laughed my butt off when Paul took them to school. Sorry guys, don't try your tax-cutting nonsense on an economic ninja!

Beating the Today show or the local news isn't saying much, either...as I'm sure you know! *LOL*

it is astounding how clueless and uninformed not just these two are but the majority of cable news talking heads. my personal favorite is the three morons on fox and friends. i don't think there is one active brain cell at work there.

The "three morons" on Fox have more common sense in their sleep than the idiots on "Morning Shmoe" have wide awake and bushy tailed. Bring back Keith and put Rachel on in prime time so that we can hear some unadulterated left-wing nonsense, not lazy liberals like Moe and Jika pretending they're conservatives.

I wish you all would stop picking on Mika. This continued assault on her will only cause the network to fire her and they may accidently find a lib with a brain

Morning Joe program has become a lesson in futility. Joe is a rude, obnoxious and condescending jerk. He would be far better suited at Fox where his Republican rhetoric would be a far better fit. He also has very irritating ways, as he sits crossing his legs and running his fingers through his hair very feminine like. A total NERD!!!!

I think Morning Ed would sound far better. Ed and perhaps Karen Finny would make a great morning show. They both have charisma,and intelligence, which is sadly lacking on Morning Joe. Joe is a total clown.
