Bring Mika The Head of John Gibson By Mark Finkelstein | January 24, 2008 - 10:29 ET

The woman who got her big break on network TV thanks to the firing of Don Imus apparently now wants another host to lose his job over some tasteless remarks.

Morning Joe is the show that took over MSNBC's early-morning time slot after Imus was bounced for his offensive observations about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Mika Brzezinski, a regular member of the Morning Joe crew, has now left little doubt that she would like to see John Gibson fired for his callous comments about the death of actor Heath Ledger.

Mika is a typical Beltway petulant brat. She acts like her DNC position is something new. It’s all the same tired tripe.

She got the job because of who her father is, end of story.

And she now sits there smugly making no news story comment without full of the typical smarmy MSM attitude.

She must think it’s novel. It’s merely pretentious. Sorry Mika, at least Joe is funny and charming in limited doses. You are not.

I was astounded at the coverage of this young actors death. It felt as large as Princess Diana.

Then, they talked about his Oscar role in Brokeback Mt. I realized he’s a gay icon for doing this gay movie. The movie I now see in the cheap movie bin.

Laura Ingraham and Steve Malzberg wondered yesterday what the hype was about on their radio programs. I wanted to scream “GAY AGENDA!”.

If I was in a conversation, I’d tell him that his segment on Heath Ledger was harsh. If I was in a conversation with Mika, I’d tell her to spend a month reviewing Keith Olberman’s spew before she trained her sights on another on-air personality.

Shoulda said: If I was in a conversation with John Gibson...

It’s a free country. So avoid John Gibson and you’re good.

Did you hear Joe and Mika discuss your this report this morning? Mika denied they were calling for Gibson’s head but then they went on to play John’s apology calling it lame. I think Joe and Mika are carrying water for Media Matters on this story.

I like the nasty little chipmunk--he still practices free speech.
