I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was done ever-so-slightly tongue in cheek. But there was Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe today, sporting a Team Sarah button and identifying herself as a proud Palinite. Joe Scarborough spoke at CPAC yesterday, and Mika accompanied him, stopping by the Team Sarah booth along the way. As she told it . . .
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: I went to the Team Sarah booth. I got a couple of things. I’m thinking my dad isn’t watching yet, so I’ll share: I got my daughter Team Sarah hats. I got my husband one. And I went home to my parents house yesterday and put a pink “I Love Sarah” bumper sticker on my dad’s car!

Mika the newest member of Team Sarah ping to Today show list.
I accidently was watching Morning Joe this morning (hope springs eternal, and I was totally not interested in seeing what all Fox and Friends could deep fry). I heard Mika say that, but I also heard them all yucking it up when Tina Brown called Rush a Blowhard Bullfrog (or something like that). I just can’t watch Joe.
Ya know, since the election Mika has been all over the Obama administration. Its very clear she doesn’t support the spendulous package, nor the bank bailouts, nor the auto maker bailouts.
You can literally see it on her face as each topic is discussed.
Not saying she isn’t a liberal folks. I’m saying I think she realizes this is how Carter was a one term failure, and Obama and the Dem controlled Congress is on that same glidepath today.
Mika was mugged, or madoffed? Libs don’t go conservative spontaneously.
Is she trying to do satire or what? Has hell frozen over?
What’s the other pin? Anti-RINO or anti-elephant?
IIRC, a couple of weeks ago on the Morning Joe show, she said something like “You assume that I’m pro-choice because I’m liberal, and I’m not” or words to that effect. So maybe she’s a closet pro-lifer?
That’s what I was thinking too.
Seems to me I recall her being hostile towards all things Palin. (but I may have a faulty memory.So many were attacking her, one loses track.)
Do the conservatives have some sooper secret kool-aid, too?
I was just about to ask the same thing. Anybody know?
For what it is worth, she sided with Palin and called some other liberal hacks were attacking Sarah of pushing the “working mom image”, as elitist.
“I just can’t watch Joe.”
Joe isn’t so bad, he’s a RINO who tries to be objective. (Being on MSNBC makes him look like a hard right conservative). But at least they talk about current events on Morning Joe. It is the best morning show.
Libs are the enemy:
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
- Sun Tzu
This makes me suspect that there is grumbling in Mika’s social circle re Obama’s performance. She wouldn’t do this without feeling like it was acceptable to her cocktail party me-too-ers. Can The View be next?
Thank you.
One needs a scorecard to keep the facts straight, the attacks were so numerous!
(still, I’m suspect. But one can’t help that, these days, I reckon.)
bttt
LOL. You must be jesting. Except for Hasselbeck, they won't get caught even thinking something positive about Sarah.
I really really tried to watch them, a year or so back (I get tired of the adolescent banter on F&F) but Joe just doesn’t usually show any spine, and the libs on the show are insufferable. I wish there was either a completely unbiased morning news show, or something like Fox that didn’t think we needed to hear inane jokes about Brian’s sexuality all morning. But, I know I’m in the minority.
“But, I know I’m in the minority.”
Maybe a minority, but not alone. I find F&F to be unwatchable. It’s all silliness, and quick hits on things. Nothing of substance, and the personalities don’t appeal to me.
Apparently, it’s some sort of rule, morning shows have to be silly. Morning Joe tries to be serious without beating you over the head.
That said, I do bounce between Mike&Mike and Morning Joe in the morning. Sometimes Morning Joe will have someone on I just can’t watch, such as Bob Hebert. I know the enemy of his ilk, and don’t need to hear any more of his garbage.
I wonder if this isn’t just the beginning of a strategy, the strategy being, if a great number of leftists associate themselves with Sarah, might it sully her image and make her unacceptable to the right?
