Mika: Morning Joe Being Pressured To Invite More Pro-Obama Flacks

Jay Carney admits calling MSNBC yesterday to complain about Mark Halperin's crack [that we were first to report] that the President, at his Wednesday press conference, acted like a "d--k." Did the White House press secretary take the opportunity of his call to pressure the show to bring on more pro-Obama flacks?

The question arises because on today's show, Mika Brzezinski revealed that "we're getting hit a lot lately for not bringing on people who speak on behalf of the White House and really stick up for the President."

Mika is trying but failing... funny stuff.

I was laughing, too. A few moments after Mika's comment, Joe said the ratio of Dems to Reps on the show was at least 5 to 1. And the Pubs that are on are usually RINOs like Nicolle Wallace.

Those that live in the DC/NY corridor would do well to heed Edmund Dantes' advice to Luigi Vampa ("Count of Monte Cristo"):

"You need to get out more."

Thanks for your work, Mark. Great thread, great posters, great comments! (what else can I say?) BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH!

If “Joe” wants higher ratings — and MSNBC obviously needs them — he should book guests who could produce at least one new derogatory term to describe Obama. A new term every day.

The only difference between Obama and a bag of fresh manure is the bag.

If I wanted any more crap out of Obama I’d squeeze his head.

But, seriously, folks. I'll be here all week. Remember to tip the waitresses and drive safe.

Curse you, GLGB. You're supposed to label these threads "satire" or "parody" so we don't burst a vein.

Well, done.

Mark..first of all, hope you and yours have a great long 4th of July weekend.

Do you have any info on the ratings for Morning Joe, Fox and Friends, and Imus?

[I still care]

I’ve seen Halperin on TV several times - he never seemed like a nice guy.

He talks like that it seems a lot. Unfortunately, he used it against the wrong person this time and they are going to take it out of his hide. How dare he diss the One.

LOL Exactly - It’s a ‘fluffer’ call.
