and walked off the set. If any one can find a replay, please post it. He is an egotistical idiot!

(1,356 posts)he kept telling her to let him speak, I can't count how many times the man has interupted someone and kept talking and talking without taking a breath.

(5,644 posts)You recall Joe on 'Meet the Press' when he got into a little tiff with Rachel Maddow and she shut him down and Joe left the set....too funny! That's the way you do it.

(50,983 posts)You count in the overall numbers. Whether you approve of Joe or not.
I want them to hit rock bottom ratings so I never watch.
Mika should be glad Joe didn't hit her in her head with the stapler and claim she bumped her head on the desk.

(50,983 posts)I think she tested positive but wouldn't consent to an abortion. Think the worst of these slimy Republicans and you'll come close to the truth.

(50,983 posts)Who are you to judge whether my posts are acceptable?
The intern question was never answered to my satisfaction. I think my explanation is perfectly plausible. Why would you challenge me? And why are you so quick to defend Joe?

Otherwise, you're just imagining some sleazy sexual backstory for which
there is no evidence.
By objecting to that, I defend Laurie, and by extension, all women, not Joe, i.e. just because a woman is working for a man does not mean she's screwing him.

whathehell
(29,088 posts)Nothing 'funny' about the way that works, it just does.
tabasco
(22,974 posts)Oh wait, that's not a rule at all. So this subthread you started was a complete waste of time.
whathehell
(29,088 posts)So this senseless attempt at a "gotcha" was a complete waste of time...
Got more substance free, silly assed topics you'd like to explore?

(19,846 posts)If you're not knowingly being tracked by Neilsen, what you're watching doesn't count. For some cable/dish systems sure, they can detect what one or more of your TVs are tuned to but they don't know if anyone's actually watching-- and if anyone is, they don't have demographic info on them so it's useless data.

(31,464 posts)They can change the channels, reset your cable box, shut it down, anything they want. No one needs to fill out a Neilson diary anymore, the data goes directly to the cable companies. Granted, they don't know WHO is watching, if anyone, as you used to have to indicate with a Neilson diary, but they certainly know how many sets are tuned in to a given program.
Liberal_Stalwart71
(20,450 posts)She actually believes that women should be submissive and be paid less than a man for equal work. She's an idiot and a dummy. She sets women's rights back 50 years! I can't stand her.

(26,060 posts)(I guess I should be thankful you refrained from using the word literally) believe anything like what you said. She even wrote a book about Knowing Your Worth. I don't like MJ and find him to be unbearably smug but let's not get carried away.
Liberal_Stalwart71
(20,450 posts)I mean, why does she just sit there and allow her co-host to degrade, demean and disrespect her like that?
leftynyc
(26,060 posts)She has ACTUALLY and LITERALLY been very outspoken about women knowing their worth and not being afraid to ask for what they're worth.

(22,380 posts)I take one look and see her simpering, obsequious and cowed. It makes me feel awful for women who are there as an ornament, a traffic cop for visiting guests and otherwise useless. Lipstick on a glorified secretary to a Mad Man who allows being mistreated and then writes books on the power of womanhood.
Barf.
Joe is not worth mentioning.

(2,280 posts)Don't feel bad for Mika. The whole thing is an act. She's not a real liberal. She's just there to pretend to be a liberal so Joe can knock over her arguments. And then have her agree with Joe so he can claim that even liberals think he's right.
