Mika: So What If 95% of Media Support Obama?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/28/2008 6:07:10 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Sure, the elite media might overwhelmingly support Barack Obama. But so what? That's apparently Mika Brzezinski's opinion. Check out the exchange between Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough [file screencap] on Morning Joe today at 7:50 AM EDT, triggered by Scarborough's observation that when it comes to Barack Obama, the media "is like ninth-grade girls."

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: I actually, really reject this love affair notion.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Come on.

BRZEZINSKI: What? I do.

SCARBOROUGH: Because you are absolutely drunk on the Kool-Aid.

BRZEZINSKI: No. You know what? Let me tell you something. Every time there is a question to ask or something to analyze, we've done it. On flip-flopping. On everything.

SCARBOROUGH: Have you seen--I'm not talking about us.

BRZEZINSKI: What's wrong with you?

SCARBOROUGH: We are the great leveling wind. I'm talking about, listen, you know if a poll was taken of everybody you know that works in the media, in Washington, D.C. and Manhattan, Barack Obama would get 95% of the vote.

This is a vote on the credibility of Obama, with libs putting all their faith in the unknown. Meanwhile, there are so many known positives for McCain. And now another one: Mika doesn’t like him.

The MSM isn’t in the tank for Obama. They’re resting, pining for the fjords ;-)

Mika was having a speech recession first thing this morning. She kept mentioning all the American flags waving when Obama was giving his speech in Germany. (I must have been watching a different speech). One line she misspoke went something like "It was really quite amazing to see all the American fags waving".

Excuse me Joe but we’ve think we’ve hit upon a really great addition for your show. We’ll pair you with a scatter-brained, flea-brained dimwit liberal socialist feminazi wearing a really bad 1960’s hairdo and mosquito bite-sized breasts who will say really stupid, vap[id comments on the everything which will make you look even smarter,....Mika,...meet Joe!

If you can figure out something positive about McCain, beyond “he sucks less”, feel free to post it. We could use the encouragement.

My own version is from Belgium:
On the Democrat side we a have a lawyer married to lawyer.
On the Republican side we have a former Naval Aviator and war veteran, married to a busty blond beer heiress.
Why are we even bothering with an election?

>>How else would a no talent airhead be a first-tier TV news correspondent?

Huh!? I thought that was a hard-and-fast requirement for that position, these days.

She may be dumb, but what galls us is the smirking sarcastic attitude about everything that is critical of her guy. She shows an upper east side elitist attitude that looks down their noses at “fly over country”.

He was National Security Advisor, not Secretary of State. Wonder how much of his advice influenced throwing the Shah of Iran under the bus? Wonder how much of his advice resulted in the downsizing of our Military? Wonder how much of his advice resulted in Carter making nice with Arafat?
