Mika Muses: Did Liz Cheney Ask Rollins to Call Her 'Bored Housewife' As A Favor?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/19/2013 4:34:54 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Trying to decide which is the bigger story here: 1. Mika Brzezinski speculating that Liz Cheney asked Ed Rollins, as a favor, to call her a "bored housewife"; or 2. Joe Scarborough saying that whenever he imitates Zbigniew Brzezinski's accent, Brzezinski beefs that he's making him "sound like a rabbi."

You be the judge. Both happened on today's Morning Joe. Liz Cheney has taken some heat for suggesting that sitting Republican Senator Enzi is old and confused. Mika seemed to be suggesting that having Rollins take a sexist shot at her would instantly transform Cheney from aggressor into victim. There was a jocular jot in Mika's conjecture, but she did insist to Joe "you know that I'm right."

Does it help Liz Cheney to be called a “bored housewife”? And why does Zbigniew Brzezinski dislike sounding like a rabbi? Ping to Today show list.

I caught a little of the carpet bagger discussion. My take is "If the shoe fits...”.

Not buying the “Cheney as victim” meme at-all.

“And why does Zbigniew Brzezinski dislike sounding like a rabbi?”

Let me guess. Because Zbigniew is one of the biggest anti-Semites around? Bingo.

It does make her look a bit victimized and will probably require Enzi to disavow what Rollins said and waste time on that. But it's way too early in the campaign for it to make any difference.

Linking her to Hillary Clinton, and it's going to be an obvious comparison, is probably going to hurt Cheney more than the bored housewife crack.

If I were going to vote, I wouldn’t care where she lived or what some idiot newsreader said about her. I would care about how she would vote in the Senate, and nothing else. The incumbent has a voting record, and Ms. Cheney will have to address it if she wants to replace him. That is all.
