Mika Mortified By Criticism of Carter's Kennedy Bashing

Mika Brzezinski is no poker face, regularly letting her feelings show as she reacts to the stories of the day. But when it comes to emoting, the Morning Joe co-host outdid herself today, reacting to the criticism the panel leveled at Jimmy Carter for his ungracious bashing of the late Ted Kennedy.
In a 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl, a clip from which Morning Joe aired, an embittered Carter flatly says the failure to get national health care during his administration was Ted Kennedy's "fault." Carter accused Kennedy of "deliberately blocking" Carter's proposed legislation, in order to deny him a major legislative achievement.
Mika, daughter of Carter's National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, has a history of defending Carter on the show. Check the video as Mika grimaces in discomfort, and interjects various rebuttals, as her fellow panelists unload on Carter.

Will anybody care when Carter finally dies? Nixon. You've probably heard that there's a special place in Hell. Well, until Carter dies, Nixon has to stay there. |

Republicans bash other Republicans while they are alive.
Democrats bide their time and then speak ill of the dead.

Not surprising when you remember the vitriol of the 1980 Dem primary. It was apparent that Carter and Kennedy hated each other. It hasn’t abated, I see. I later heard the rumor that Joe Kennedy, Sr. had met Lillian something like 9 months before Jimmah was born. I don’t believe those rumors, but I think that one was born to try and explain that primary animosity.

When two detestable people are throwing feces at one another, what is the proper reaction? When one is a dead man and the other a nearly dead man, then what should the proper reaction be? Given that it is Carter and Kennedy, I’m guessing we need a couple extra truck loads of feces to keep the pot boiling. You would think someone in the entertainment world would understand this? Mika, too dumb even for TeeVeeee!

Nixon is dead but you can speak ill of him any day of the week on MSNBC. But a slob like Kennedy is spoken of in hallowed whispers.

Perhaps we owe Kennedy a big thank you if Carter is right. Can you imagine how broke the country would be by now if health control had passed in the ‘70s?

Carter accused Kennedy of "deliberately blocking" Carter's proposed legislation, in order to deny him a major legislative achievement. "I could'a been a contender"

Carter did a few things right.
He brought Egypt back into a more western posture, as you might have noticed , Egypt and Israel stopped waging war on each other.
His support of Habitat for Humanity helped many people. And it's a good model for assisting people that need help, You work, we help you. And it doesn't depend on tax dollars. He blew Iran, but if you look at the weapons systems he authorized ( M1, M2/M3, Ohio class, ect) They are the backbone. As he get older, he gets more outspoken, but he's not the first elderly American to go that way. And he didn't promise the voters one thing and do another. You saw what he was, and he did what he said.

C’mon, all Carter is doing is demonstrating his ecumenicism. After going after the Jews, he’s now going after the Irish...

Was at Arlington this spring and walked past Ted’s grave. You have no idea how hard such an action is to resist.
