Mika Brzezinski Gets Mugged, Gets to Confront D.C. Mayor on TV an Hour Later
NY Observer ^ | December 18, 2008 | Tom McGeveran

Posted on 12/19/2008 8:50:20 PM PST by neverdem

Mika, minus six bucks.Inauguration Day is coming! And this morning Joe Scarborough was broadcasting 'Morning Joe' from Washington, D.C., where Mayor Adrian Fenty was to be on hand to talk about the city's security and traffic plans for Jan. 20.

But the public safety angle got a different twist when Mr. Scarborough revealed that an hour before his co-host, Mika Brzezinski, had been mugged outside her Washington hotel while waiting for her car service.

"A guy walks across the street straight for her," Mr. Scarborough said, adding the hotel should "at least police five feet outside their own doors." Mrs. Brzezinski said she gave the mugger the $6 in cash she had with her, adding that he asked her for $20 and said something along the lines of "Give me money and nothing will happen."

Ms. Brzezinski, however, was apologetic about the flap her mentor was making.

"Mayor it was six dollars, it's OK," Mrs. Brzezinski told Mr. Fenty. "I love that hotel. I'll need six dollars before I leave the bureau is all."

"She's apologetic! "

She is a liberal and they are self haters. Just tell her it was a right wing mugger and she will get her outrage groove!

She could have lost some REAL money!

Hmmm...

Mika, marry me and I'll make sure you have at LEAST $10.00 on you at all times!

Oh, you'll have to become a Goldwater Republican, first...

Uh, so what, Joe? Are you saying you want security guards outside every private business to protect customers? (Or just hotels for the wealthy?)

She’s a good liberal, so she didn’t want to appear disturbed by this at all. She feels deep down that the guy was victimized by society or whatever other excuses liberals give for excusing criminals.

The DC govt has been mugging its citizens since 1965 so I don’t feel bad at all that one has struck back.

They played Rush’s take on it this morning.

She missed his point by a wide margin.

A poster on another forum stated:

"It sounds more like she was hit up by a bum begging for money"

The MSM, inventing the news to fit their agenda.

Did he shove a gun in her chest?

Or did he just ask for money?.....A couple times in my life, homeless folks have walked up & asked for money.....I never considered I had been mugged.

I tend to think 'mugging' means with a weapon, or threat of a weapon.

My mother was 'mugged' years ago, and she never got over it....it traumatized her, scared her to pieces.

It was early morning, she was in the parking lot of where she worked...

..a man came up to her.....shoved a gun in her chest very hard and said he would kill her ... and demanded money.

He took her purse....(it had a few dollar bills, and a bunch of change)

Mika wouldn’t be quite so glib and smug if in his spurned anger the mugger had taken a boxcutter to her pretty little face.

She wasn’t mugged, she was spare changed by a thug. Get used to it in NYC Miss Nepotism.

” ...he asked her for $20 and said something along the lines of “Give me money and nothing will happen.”

The threat puts it in the mugged category, it wasn’t just panhandling.
