H/t Doug T. It was all in good fun, but the Morning Joe gang staged a bit of business today suggesting there's something a mite stronger than half-and-half in Mika Brzezinski's cup of, well, morning joe.
After signing off with NBC reporter Tom Costello, Joe Scarborough made much of Mika's absence from the set. Cut to a shot of Brzezinski at the coffee counter, where she is seen . . . emptying a blue mini-bottle into her coffee mug. Mika accommodatingly turns the bottle toward the camera so that all can see it is . . . Skyy vodka.

Mika, Skyy Queen ping to Today show list.
Hair of the tail.
Well, it looks like I owe somebody $20. Stupid me thought she was strung out on pills!
At least it’s Skyy. Now if it had been Popov...
The woman is drinking on the set!
I have made plenty of fun of her, and in fact, I can’t stand her.
But if she needs that vodka to sort of “take the edge off” for her three hours on screen, she has got a real problem and someone ought to help her out.
Am I mistaking what I see in this video?
Mika, what the hell is wrong with you. You're Polish, if you're going to drink wodka, at least get some from the home country.
As mentioned in the item, it was all a staged joke.
GMTA. From article: “Now, you might have thought that out of respect for her Polish heritage, Mika would have chosen a bottle of Zubrowka or perhaps Chopin.”
Oh, thanks Mark.
I was actually worried for her. I’m glad I don’t have to be :)
I shall read more carefully in the future.
both!
Katie Couric did the same thing when she was on mornings....
