Nothing But Frowns and Devastation on Morning Joe

[berni_mccoy]

Saying McCain's paths to 270 just don't add up. Chuckie T is just a sad little puppy today. Joe and Mika are all quiet.

Best part: Chuck Todd showed how even if McCain wins OH, PA and FL, Obama now has a clear and realistic path to 270.

1. lol - they look like they're at a funeral!

:bounce: GOBAMA :bounce:

[a kennedy]

6. yeah, the death of the greed decade......or almost decade.

GOBAMA, GOBAMA, GOBAMA. :patriot:

[boobooday]

2. Poor widdle pundits

:rofl:

[ShortnFiery]

3. I've seen funerals more upbeat than today's Morning Ho-Jo.

It's a good thing. :evilgrin:

[libnnc]

4. they didn't get their pony race

awwwww

:(

Deal wit it fucktards.

[nomaco-10]

5. Is Mika doing her zoolander impressions this morning? n/t

[Kahuna]

14. Oh yeah! Her "serious newswoman" face as she earnestly listens

to the audio of the kkkrap Drudge and the RNC is pushing today. She's desperate to find something...ANYTHING against Obama.

My email to her...

Subject: Careful Mika, quoting a cut n paste by RNC and Drudge. Have you learned nothing?

Remember in 2004 how the RNC and Drudge cut and pasted General Clark's house testimony with BLARING HEADLINES, to make it seem that General Clark's testimony supported the Iraq War Resolution? The bloggers quickly pointed out the full transcript that proved Drudge and the RNC cut and pasted THEIR transcript. Once we proved they cut n paste General Clark's testimony they quickly purged all evidence of their mischief from their sites.

This NPR thing is the same thing. So, you're "listening" to the interview, huh? Well the full panel is 50 minutes and may be found here: http://www.chicagopublicradio.org/audio_library/ram/od/od-010118.ram. And once again, they have taken Obama's comments out of context the same way they did with Obama and Joe the Plumber. Why don't you actually view the entire encounter before you MISREPRESENT the FACTS. Keith Olbermann played the entire encounter on his show last week. You could easily do the same but you prefer to LIE for the GOP.

You are a very lazy "news person." You just regurgitate nonsense from the RNC and Drudge (proven liars.)

[nomaco-10]

17. Your e-mail may cause her to have a rare moment of clarity....

That is, if she has had her first cup of vodka, err I mean coffee.

[Kahuna]

19. ...

:)

[Me.]

23. Mine Addressed Her As Mika Mouse

and included this in reference to the Biden being 'testy' comment which she later changed to feisty:

"Well it turns out that her husband, Wade West, is a political and media consultant for Republican politicians. The GOP talking points Barbara West used in her interview may have come directly from the McCain Palin communications team via her husband Wade."

[Kahuna]

34. Well done! But she is either willfully ignorant or a willing tool for GOP propaganda..

We must call her on her bullshit each and everyday.

[Bob D]

7. wait...

So now Chuck Todd is telling you exactly what you want to hear, and you're still piling on top of him?

[me b zola]

37. I'll take that question, IUDM

All I want to hear from news people is the truth. Mr Todd used to have positive things written about him because there was a time when he just reported facts. That's all that most of us want. Then Todd took a serious turn for the dark side--misrepresenting the facts, and in some cases out-in-out lying.

One of the things that I wanted to hear from Chuck Todd was an apology to his viewers and readers for one of his repeated lies. I wrote several letters to him pointing out that he had repeatedly claimed that neither Obama nor McCain were talking about jobs when in fact Obama has been talking about jobs in every stump speech that he has made going all the way back to the primaries.

I never heard him correct the record nor apologize. A prodigal son who is deserving of praise and respect would admit his failings. Mr Todd has simply read the tea leafs and decided that it is in his career's best interest to return to a more truthful representation of the facts. Well good for him.

[Doityourself]

42. Oh, a concern troll for Fuck Todd! Imagine that...

[Bob D]

48. Uh

Uh, I've been a member for 2 years, I've donated, and I've never said I was "worried" or "concerned" about anything.

So how am I concern troll?

[sendero]

8. Policies have consequences..

... as do elections. Sucks to be a fucking idiot Republican.

[MJkcj]

9. I don't get it... why

I know this is going to sound really really stupid so forgive me... by why do they care if McCain loses? Do they all make so much money that they will pay that much more in taxes under Obama? I mean they will still have jobs after Obama wins.

It just confuses me when educated people support McCain. i can forgive the uneducated conservatives who don't know any better but these people aren't dumb. They know the difference between spin and fact. How can they really want that old man and his idiot sidekick to win?

I struggle with this everytime I see a Mccain/Palin sign on someone's lawn... why? why? why? I just don't get it.

[berni_mccoy]

15. Joe is a Republican (he used to be a U.S. Congressmen)

[Kahuna]

16. And Mika has a girl-crush on Palin. nt

[vaberella]

39. She just wants the "Beat It" jacket. n/t

[Kahuna]

41. I actually saw one at a yard sale last week. I should have bought it for her..

:)

[treestar]

21. They are trying to convince themselves that they will be

millionaires one day. For the fact that they aren't millionaires now, they blame market regulation of the past 30 years. They work on this delusion every day until they believe it, aided by huge doses of Rush Limbaugh or the like.

[pipi_k]

36. I asked myself something similar this morning and decided...

that maybe intelligent people who support the current crop of Republican bastards know that they'll have an easier time controlling a lot of the populace that also supports them.

In fact, I decided that maybe the more intelligent among them don't really think the Republicans are that much better...just that there are groups of people who will clearly vote against their own self-interests every time.

Almost seems like there are more RW masochists, you know?


I was watching a bit of CNN this morning and the crawler thing on the bottom gave some statistics on a few of the (red) states where McCain still has a lead. Many of the people in these states would actually benefit more from Obama's tax plan (being lower income and all) but they choose to keep believing McCain's bullshit lines about Obama "raising your taxes" without going on to finish the statement "If you make over $250,000 per year".

How many people in, say, Missouri...or Alabama...make more than $250,000 per year....

No..these people are more concerned with keeping gays from marrying or trying to send women back to the coathanger days...and so they thought they'd have a friend in George W Bush but even HE didn't/couldn't give them what they wanted.

Even so, they go right back to the same poisoned well time and time again.

Not too bright, IMO.

which makes them prime targets, I suppose, of unscrupulous people (the current rotten crop of "Republicans") who merely USE these unfortunates to gain power.

And that's probably what it's all about anyway in the end. Use whatever means they can to get power...

[yardwork]

38. It doesn't make any sense to me either. I figure that the public figures get kick-backs.

I think that most Republican commentators get paid to push right-wing talking points and ignore real news that makes Republicans look bad. The corporations that own the networks benefit from the Republican policies of deregulation. Every time the Republicans smack down environmental or labor regulations the corporations make that much more in profit, which means they get that many more hundreds of millions in salaries. It's a very corrupt situation.

All the money sloshing around funds the flyers and email campaigns that keep not-so-bright people confused and frightened enough to vote against their own interests.

[JoePhilly]

10. I usually have to change the channel .... but this is great ... too funny.

[DeadManInc]

11. Put that in your coffie, maggots. lol

[GalleryGod]

12. Funereal Atmospherics at MSNBC...We already KNEW about Joe, NOW we see Mika Mouse

Her true feelings laid bare.
Douchebag!:spank: :nopity: :spank:

[olegramps]

18. Turn them off and notifiy the station.

If every Democrat turned them off, they would be off the air in a month tops. Gone for good.

[Window]

28. I had to turn them off. I can't stomach that shit first thing in the morning.

Idiots, the lot of them.

[eShirl]

13. "The best thing that could happen to the Republican Party is to get wiped out" - Joe

bwahahahaha

[olegramps]

20. I totally agree.

I can justify that solely on the fact that McCain choose as his running mate a person who supports a party that wants her state to secede from the Union. Now that is bizarre. Just why the hell this has not been a major factor in this election is beyond me. The only piece of any substance that I have seen has been that which was aired on CNN.

[Historic NY]

24. My wish is that it becomes like the Bull Moose party or the Know Nothings

gone like a flash in the pan except it took too long.

[nomaco-10]

25. LMAO Maybe they should consider removing any...

sharp objects in joe's vicinity.

Oops, scratch that. :evilgrin:

[npincus]

22. renaming the program "Morning Drudge".

After discussing the 2001 NPR audio that Drudge is headlining, diving right into it without context or questions (especially after Drudge's B-Girl embarrassment, why pretend "Joe" isn't part of RW media?

[beachmom]

26. Um, what you said about Chuck Todd is completely untrue.

He's the objective numbers guy. He stated the facts, and did not appear "sad" at all. I doubt he is a Republican or a Democrat, but rather an Independent.

[berni_mccoy]

27. LOL... he was definitely wearing a frown and speaking in a somber tone.

[genna]

29. When Tim Russert was alive, Chuck Todd was neutral. Now he is clearly not.

If you've missed that...

Just keep watching.


I watch Morning Joe because I think it is what MSNBC considers balanced programming. I think they need to try something else but this isn't working. I usually Fast Forward through Morning Joe.

[vaberella]

46. It's because he's given up.

Early last week he was giving McCain any lifeline. Then the Brian Williams video happened and it sounded like he gave it up.

[DainBramaged]

30. I want to see them all in tears, schmucks.

[RoadRage]

31. "That 50 state strategy was just soooo stupid"...

Bwauahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHA!

You can't really STEAL an election if you're not in place in the states neccessary to steal it. And, I don't think anyone thought to park out in CO.. and VA. HAHAHAHAHA.

The republicans are going to have to dramatically increase the number of robbers they have to steal this one.

Kudo's to Obama for thinking outside of the blue box.

[nomaco-10]

32. Let's give credit where credit is due. The fifty state strategy.....

was HOWARD DEAN'S. I will say this, Obama has done one helluva job instrumenting it.

[DainBramaged]

33. Smart enough to put ads on Xbox, what Rethug could match that?

[Jennicut]

35. Are they actually going to face the music now? The ev's don't look good for McInsane

I wonder how Joe will be election night? Mighty depressed I think.

[SIMPLYB1980]

40. Lmao! Bet it looked something like this.

[Ichingcarpenter]

43. Was that from this morning? I missed it

I am enjoying the meltdown with the rightwing pundits on TV

[SIMPLYB1980]

44. Not sure when that was. Just a google pic I found.

I usually listen to them while getting ready for work, after 10 minutes of their show in the morning I know what bullshit is going to thrown our way for the rest of the day. I will probably dvr it next Wednesday. Should be a lot of long faces that morning.

[SuperTrouper]

49. Joe asked Mika how much was her wardrobe? Mika, tells us how much is your wardrobe?

:rofl:

[bushisanidiot]

45. Did Joe bring up Ashley Todd?? He really pushed the Ayers thing

so I want to know if he is pushing Ashley Todd's connection to the McHate campaign. That's big news as her confession just happened on Friday, after Morning Joe was over.

[Bake]

47. Will they even show up the day after the election?

After the Blue Tsunami sweeps over the nation? Will they even show up, or just say "Fuck it" and go home?

I, for one, must watch and find out!
