Mika Admits: I'm 'Working With The White House' On Oil Spill Talking Points

Cut out the middle-woman and install Obama's teleprompter on the Morning Joe set . . .

Give her high marks for candor: on today's show, Mika Brzezinski admitted that she has been "working with the White House" on oil spill talking points. But that still leaves the issue of the journalistic propriety of someone in Brzezinski's position serving as such a blatant shill for the president. H/t tip NB reader Ray R.

Mika could be seen reading from her notes during exchanges with former GE CEO Jack Welch, who was critical of the PBO's handling of the spill. After repeated ribbing from Welch and Joe Scarborough over her use of White House talking points, Mika came clean . . .

Mike = Mika

those contemplative moments were some weeks ago

[whitedog57]

Mika was fired from her previous employer who said she was “too weird looking.”

How about mentally ill? Like all liberals.

I hope they do go viral.
Those are great pics.
The only thing they lacked was a more visible Biden.
Maybe a Biden reminiscing, as he tries to tell Obama
all about the great old days of the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearings, which he turned into The Joe Biden Show.

Most liberals I know aren’t mentally-ill. They are, almost to a person, extremely immature and incapable of thinking logically.

Liberals feel while conservatives think: isn’t that the mantra?

And I wouldn’t call Mika weird-looking. “Puckered,” perhaps, or maybe even “pointy.” Every now and then, though, I look at her sidewise and go...”Heh, maybe...”

"issue of the journalistic propriety"

The issue of what????

[Lazamataz]

So Janet Napolitano wants to bring the internet under strict censorship, so that all we hear are 'objective journalists' who get their talking points from the White House.

Aw, comon guys, who says this is a dictatorship????

and she’s better looking than Robert Gibbs -

what a milestone in her professional career

[BlueAngel]

She can't carry on an intelligent conversation, even with talking points.

Joe, must have in his PMSNBC contract that before he criticizes Obama, he must first criticize President Bush. He brings up George W. Bush this and George W. Bush that over and over. So tiring Joe, working for the LIBERALS, it must be like walking a tightrope.

Outrageous.

Joe hasn’t been a recognizable conservative for some time now.

Joe Gannon/Jeff Guckert.

"Well, I'm shocked!
Shocked, to find gambling going on here!"

Soon to be a motion picture and television series:
"Council on Foreign Relations: The Next Generation".

Glad FR is back up. Well on the bright side, at least the WH isn’t giving her talking points right in her ear piece.

Wonder if someone in the WH is/was calling her a dumb Pol..k for this statement?

[Taxman]

Serious question: Who is Mika Brzezinski?

And, why should I care?

[Bigg Red]

I am happy to say I would have no idea of who this woman is if you had not included the screen cap. I suppose that all 328 of Scarbourough’s viewers care about what she has to say, but I wouldn’t worry about her — or him — if I were you.
