He was explaining the issue and she asked is anyone buying this? I just tuned in but I think that's what I heard.

What a twit. Being stupid must be a requirement in the hiring process.

1. Being stupid must also be a viewing requirement.

8. Lots of us watch that show
It's great comic relief.

If you want to talk stupid, American Idol comes to mind.

2. Too bad Robert couldn't say something like "They wouldn't buy it if they had a brain like yours"

4. Yes, she certainly did. She rolled her eyes at him, kept glancing over at
Barnacle and smirking, batting her eyes, then made that comment: "Are you buying this.. he's a friend of yours."

I've written MSNBC about it.

10. Why would MSNBC keep someone on the air like this?
This is pure partisanship on a morning "news" show. She belongs on Fox News with others of her ilk.

13. Her father is a power player....
Mika's daddy was the first director of the Trilateral Commission.

He's been on the national scene for decades and has a pretty extensive political
pedigree.

15. I know who her father is, but she's an example of an apple that fell far from the tree
If there's even been a more prominent example of nepotism in this world, this is it.

5. Yes, and she rolled her eyes
and made her best skeptical face. She is worse than usual this morning.

6. Yep, I heard that. She turned to Barnicle and asked him that.
RFK, JR. said something along the lines of "you don't have to buy it, it's still the truth if you don't."

He made a very cogent case in very little time and he laid out the facts. This guy is really smart and knows this topic cold. Mika needs to STFU if she can't add value to the conversation and clearly she can't.

9. That's what she said. . It's as if someone said that we went to war in Iraq
on trumped up lies or something... crazy conspiracy theory, right?

11. How much is the RNC slipping her under the table?
She's can't be spending three hours a day on her knees for them just for the heck of it.

12. I like "Morning Joe" and I watch it every...
...morning.

Some days, I'm infuriated, but most days are just fine.

Mika, is another story, on the other hand.

I've really tried to like her. However, she is so empty headed. If you watch
her and really listen, she NEVER has an original point. She simply parrots what
the men on stage are saying, "Oh yeah...I agree...that's so true..."

It's nauseating. She's like an ornament up there, making no real contribution.

If she ever dares to have a contrary opinion and one of the other pundits disagrees,
she folds like a Kmart tent, "Yeah, I suppose that's right...well, you're probably
right..."

I'd rather have Andrea Mitchell up there, or ANY woman who had a spine and something
worthwhile to say.

16. It was totally disrespectful to RFK, Jr.
The woman is a horror show. She pretends to be an unbiased journalist and if she had done her job she would have known what RFK, Jr. was saying was 100% the truth. This after spending the entire morning defending Palin. Disgusting.
