How To Make Morning Joe Panel Shut Up: Say 'Solyndra'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/16/2011 5:28:14 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Ever been watching Morning Joe, and wished you could stop the steady stream of liberal blather? Simple. Say the magic word—Solyndra—and watch the gabby guests fall suddenly silent.

Today's show offered a prime example of the phenomenon. For the first ten minutes, the panel had a great old time gabbing and joking on the theme that the Republican presidential field is a mass of morons. They laughed at the mere mention of Herman Cain, likened the GOP field to a vaudeville show, dragged out the shopworn "bar in Star Wars" simile, and called the Republican candidates "jokes," "clowns" and "stupid." But then, 13 minutes in, Mika Brzezinski mentioned a story reporting that the Obama admin had suppressed the announcement of layoffs at Solyndra until after the 2010 elections. And despite Mika's wondering out loud "why this story hasn't picked up more," there wasn't a peep out of the quickly clammed-up crew and Brezinski breezed on to another story.

I wonder when the Joe Biden Video of going to Jon Corzine for the Obama Administration for financial advise is going to be in a GOP ad.

I think it is a more polite way to say “bend over”

There are at least two major scandals brewing in the Obama admin: Solyndra, and the Gunwalker scandal. Neither scandal solicits as much as a peep out of Big Lib Media. Needless to say, if this had been a Pubbie admin, we’d be getting Watergate-sized headlines coming from those clowns every day.

As always thanks for keeping an eye on the enemies of America and common decency, and thanks for the pings.

FRegards,
