Latest Member Of Team Sarah: Mika!
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/27/2009 7:51:52 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was done ever-so-slightly tongue in cheek. But there was Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe today, sporting a Team Sarah button and identifying herself as a proud Palinite. Joe Scarborough spoke at CPAC yesterday, and Mika accompanied him, stopping by the Team Sarah booth along the way. As she told it . . .

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: I went to the Team Sarah booth. I got a couple of things. I’m thinking my dad isn’t watching yet, so I’ll share: I got my daughter Team Sarah hats. I got my husband one. And I went home to my parents house yesterday and put a pink “I Love Sarah” bumper sticker on my dad’s car!

Mika is a shrewd liberal. She’s betting that Palin will be an embarrassing Republican Presidential nominee, paving the way for a big Obama re-election. Please don’t be fooled. This is their strategy - advocate the weakest opponent.

I think it's a joke that CPAC invited Joe and Tucker Carlson to speak about the Fairness Doctrine.

Joe may give us hope from time to time that he is standing up for conservative ideals on a network which is the antithesis of conservative ideals but he will never put himself out on a limb and put that paycheck in jeopardy. And Carlson? He's got Stockholm Syndrome over there and never found his niche among conservatives.

This was definitely their strategy in the 2008 Republican Presidential primary:

I wonder if this isn’t just the beginning of a strategy, the strategy being, if a great number of leftists associate themselves with Sarah, might it sully her image and make her unacceptable to the right?

No way are they going to endear her to "moderates". They need to portray her as a arch-conservative redneck.

Well, too bad for them that Palin is the strongest opponent to zero.

To me, it looks like a map of the world. Maybe a button opposed to world government or something?

Did you see the caption on the photo? The Post deemed it necessary to make sure that we knew which one was Mika.

Wonder why there’s a dearth of intelligent seriousness in the morning? Ah well, we muddle thru. I had to go mute the tv anyway since the big O is talking again. He seems to talk every single day.

I couldn’t say...all I know is since Bush left the Whitehouse, Mika has been ‘balanced’ in her views, and very critical of the new administration.

I’m still wary, but every morning ‘something’ sticks out to me.

I flip from Fox to MSNBC, usually because Fluff and Friends programing is ‘morning lite’.

WOW, now that is a sleeper account.

You signed up in 2005 made 6 posts over the next two years and now made your first post since 2007, just to bash Governor Palin. Cute.

When I saw Scarborough’s and Tucker’s names on the Agenda, I thought, “WTF?!?” Then Scarborough’s lame, self-serving, off-topic, blather made me almost puke. Who can watch this goofball’s show?

She also had this to say.

Note: Mika mentioned that Joe’s speech at CPAC was well-received by HuffPo, which as Joe acknowledged could be problematic for a conservative. But here is an excerpt that any conservative should agree with:

“Before we yell at the Democrats for what they are doing… think about, when Republicans were in control we passed a $7 trillion liability to Medicare, a program that was already going bankrupt. That is not what conservatives do.”

My guess is she is trying to introduce her kid to the saving these buttons as a collector. She put them on to show hipe the hobby maybe.

But maybe the "B" family ( don't ask me to spell it ;-) ) may be in a higher bracket than we realize and she knows they are going to get creamed and it is starting to sting....

Mika was mugged, or madoffed? Libs don’t go conservative spontaneously. Actually, sometimes they do. Once events reach a critical stage, a person will suddenly see how they have been wrong all along. It happened with me during Carter's horrible term. I had voted for him (being a democrat at the time as were my parents) and got more and more disheartened aas his term unfolded. When he was shocked, SHOCKED at the Russian invasions of Afghanistan (which, as my sister said, was ridiculous since who didn't know the Soviets were sneakY)and then retaliated by keepiong athletes home from the Olympics, it was the last straw for me. I voted for Reagan in 1980 and have never voted for a democrat again.

Wasn’t she mugged right before the elections at some hotel as she waited for a cab or something?
