Zbigniew Zings Obama On Ukraine: 'Can't Win Military Conflict by Throwing Pancakes'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/15/2014 5:58:33 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Q. How do you know when Barack Obama has set a dubious new record for presidential weakness? A. When Jimmy Carter's former top adviser mocks his anemic response to an international crisis.

On today's Morning Joe, Zbigniew Brzezinski argued that the US needs to discuss with Ukraine the provision of defensive weapons in the face of the Russian threat. He then mockingly observed: "the Ukrainians did ask us for help in that regard. Do you know what our answer has been? We offered them prepackaged food for their soldiers. Well, you can't win a military conflict by throwing pancakes at somebody." The laughter on the normally Obama-friendly set should still be ringing in the President's ears. View the video

Gotta hurt Obama to hear the Carter admin mocking his weakness. Ping to Today show list.

No wonder Mika wasn’t there this morning. She really would’ve gotten an earful from Valerie Jarrett.

Pancakes and spitballs are cheap, considering the US is broke.

You should do a story on them yucking it up about the standoff in Nevada at the beginning of the show this morning. I found it in poor taste (I know most of the show is that but this was even more disgusting).

Willie Geist's understudy. They all have such nice hair, and ever so metrosexual. Their names don't matter, they're interchangeable.

Good morning, Mark.

Off topic, but what do you hear about Joe doing a keynote speech for a NH GOP dinner. MSNBC wouldn't let Ed Schultz do one for Dems a while back. A while back they let Joe get away with making political donations. Is he looking to get fired?

You can certainly understand that Zbig would have no love lost for the Russkies.

That's Thomas Roberts, the token preening faggot now gracing (and presumably greasing) the corridors at 30 Rock.

He is so bold and manly NBC proudly announced they were sending him to Putin's Russia to cover the homophobic Olympics, but I'll be damned if I saw him on the air (during the ten or so minutes I tuned in, anyway).

But you are right, he is seldom seen smiling or laughing 'cause he so often has something in his mouth.

That’s Thomas Roberts, major Obama fanboy, and host of Way Too Early, which precedes Morning Joe.

Apparently in order to permit him to proceed the NH Republicans lowered the ticket prices to just cover expenses so it wouldn’t be considered a fundraiser. I think Joe is enjoying his moment in the sun but it won’t last long. He knows he’d be lucky to get 1-2% in an actual caucus/primary.

Thank you both. I’m at a disadvantage with the names of some of the newer nattering nabobs because A: I turned my satellite tv off nearly a year ago and strangely have yet to miss it and B: I would only watch the mainstream media if held at gunpoint.

A new standard for failure is now established: it shall, be known as Obamas Throwing Pancakes Moment. That surpasses Carters Malaise.
