Mika's Pauline Kael Moment: 'Disconnect Between People I Talk to and Rest of Country'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/21/2015 4:53:46 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It might be apocryphal, but the famous quote attributed to Pauline Kael, the late film critic of the New York Times, is along the lines of "how could Nixon have won? Nobody I know voted for him."

Mika Brzezinski had her Pauline Kael moment on today's Morning Joe. Mika declared herself "really surprised" by poll numbers showing there are more Americans dissatisfied with Hillary Clinton's response to Benghazi than there are people who think the congressional investigation into Benghazi is too partisan. Said Mika: "it's sort of like a disconnect I guess that I have with the people I talk to and the rest of the country."

Mica is an idiot. And that’s a complement!

Hey Mika, here’s how this works:

Everybody knows where you stand, so nobody who disagrees with you is going to bother brining up politics. (off-air)

Hey, Mika,

“He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool ... shun him.

He who knows not and knows that he knows not, is ignorant ... teach him.

He who knows and knows not that he knows, is asleep ... awaken him.

He who knows and knows that he knows, is a wise man ... follow him.”

Leftists keep very, very tight circles and don’t dare venture out of them.

Weeelll doggie!
I reckon you need to meet some different folks there missy!

Step outside of that tight little clique you travel in and see the world as it is.
Does wonders for the disposition.

So sick with liberalism she is incapable of being embarrassed by her stupidity.

The real WTH moment with the past ‘investigations’ (cover ups/whitewashes) is how they didn’t discuss Hillary’s emails (which were NOT on a .gov account and should have been GLARING) and did not interview the witnesses.

Put Hillary under oath. Let her lies send her to jail this time.

If you don’t watch the MSM, you may be uninformed.
If you DO watch the MSM, you will be MISinformed.

So, if the NBC/WSJ poll was 44/36 then an honest poll would have more likely been 53/47.

Love that moment in time screen capture. A double WTH? Just wait until Trump wins the presidency.

If she were as well-read as she pretends to be she’d have at least a clue to who Paluine Kael was.

The real “disconnect” she needs to be concerned with is her head from her shoulders if she doesn’t understand who Obama is sneaking into the country. Moron!

Pauline proved she didn’t know anyone worth knowing.
