Please educate me - I never watch Morning Joe.

What is Mika's story?

Is she all there? She is filling in for Gregory today and this is the first time I have ever really watched her. She just interviewed Claire McCaskill and Mika's questions were so off the wall.
Claire looked like she was ready to scream and I have never seen Claire with anything but a pleasant look on her face.

Mika - another pretty face with nothing between the ears?

Educate me. I'm sitting here scratching my head. :crazy:

1. In the mornings she usually just oohs and aaahs and makes funny noises.

But she is pretty mindless. She is very in love with Sarah Palin.

[jillan]

3. Oh yes, she totally expressed that love.

And kept asking why can't Obama close the deal?
Claire said - his poll numbers have been climbing for the last 10 days.

But why can't Obama close the deal?
So confused!

2. Your impression is spot on. She personifies the word "dingbat"...

I *think* she actually leans left, but she has a spine that's made out of some sort of spongy material. She'll often start off opposed to Joe, but by halfway through the show, after he's talked over her and a few guests, she'll suddenly be repeating his lines, like some sort of Stockholm Syndrome victim.

And yes, she'll get some sort of dumbass question in her head and start repeating it and variations of it over and over. She often makes no sense whatsoever. I could easily see republicans getting just as frustrated with her as democrats, because her logic-defying commentary seems to know no bounds.

4. She's the sidekick to an idiot with a megaphone... makes'em both dangerous

[stray cat]

5. She is Zbigniew Brzezinski's daughter - I'm disappointed in her

8. And he is one of Obama's advisors.

11. Her brother works for McCain, so she has said...n/t

[ErinBerin84]

12. no. He unofficially advised Obama a couple of times in the past. Not an advisor now.

6. Mika kinda reminds me of Paula Zahn when she was on Fox. Not happy.

I don't know why she acts so stupidly, she is not stupid. I've often thought she was spooning with Joe. Who knows. Maybe something about her Dad? And wasn't one of her brothers also advising Obama?

[dgibby]

9. No, the brother is working for McCain,

her father is an advisor for Obama.

7. Actually, pirhana, if you don't watch "Morning Joe,"

that means your education is intact; it is safe. You needn't worry. ;)

10. Mika likes her vodka apparently..

she was caught on camera spiking her coffee one morning. She went off into bizarro world today, calling Palin's stump speech "brilliant". Yeah Mika? Just how brilliant can you be spewing that xenophobic racist nonsense?...:eyes:
