It seems I'm seeing a lot of her lately. Not sure I like her either.

3. I make it a point to never watch Intern Murderers in the morning.
Or MSNBC either for that matter. Ever since they forced Edwards out of their debate.

13. and you know he was in DC when his intern died
in Florida, right?

Scarborough's a pig, but he didn't murder an intern.

20. Really? And what was Ms. Klausutis' time of death?
Considering that no investigation into the matter was ever conducted, and the only person to examine the body was a guy who'd lost his license to practice medicine in Missouri, it's not entirely clear when Lori Klausutis died.

But then, Ms. Klausutis had the misfortune to keel over dead in one of Scarborough's offices at about the same time the media was so obsessed with Chandra Levy's disappearance and unfounded speculation on Democratic congressman Gary Condit. And since Condit, as it turns out, had absolutely nothing to do with Levy's death, it stands to reason that Scarborough is similarly innocent by the commutative principle of political even-handedness. So even the most elementary questions about Klausutis' death (cause, time, etc.) remain unanswered to this day.

24. He was in DC when she was found.
There were lots of fishy parts to the story too.

Enough to leave major question marks in the case.

6. Oh brother.
At least it's a different complaint. The usual complaint about Mourning Joe is that he's a sexist who has no respect for women and who refuses to allow Mika to speak. Now the complaint is that Mika is taking over.

:applause: to you for coming up with some new material.

9. It Isn't A Complaint.
I don't know, is joe sick? on vacation? having surgery? Just curious, that is all. Definitely not a complaint.

15. Ah, it wasn't clear in your post that Joe wasn't there.
He was on vacation recently. I have no idea where he is now. FWIW, I think Mika is great. I'd tune in every day if it was Morning Mika. :hi:

19. I love her too, very smart and articulate...
many guys however prefer non-stop talking lipstick lips without a brain, eg. those short skirted panty whores on Fox.

7. Never liked them and turned them off months ago.
Scarborough Country was a failure and he was rewarded with Don Imus's time slot why? Because he IS owned by the radical right wing. Mika is in the tank for Obama and her father and brother both work for the Obama campaign. The only rational voice making the rounds of that type of programming is Craig Crawford. Is he even invited any more? btw, NBC said the replacement for Imus In The Morning would be integrated, who is the African American on that show?

10. I love her, she is very smart
Mika's is often able to out think better represent what the field reporters have to say.

I liked her even more when Bill O'Reilley went after her on his show. Fox News believes their short skirted panty whores are better than Mika.

I like Joe too, but I have been watching him for years and years now.

By the way, she is the daughter of former National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski

14. She is as ignorant as they come on TeeVee land. She hems,
haws and mumbles. A pathetic excuse for a journalist

17. I don't like the "pretend concern" she projects..
I watched her when she was on an overnight news show, and she's waaaay smarter than she plays on this show..

She's almost got that Mike Douglas wonderment thing going on.. and she given way too much importance to Pat Buchanan:puke:

18. I like Mika
She seems to try to think things through before throwing her ideas out there. The fact that her family is supporting both McCain and Obama makes her sometimes defend Hillary but I think she tries to show a woman's persepective on things when Joe and others are acting like male idiots.

21. Joe flies back down to Florida on Fridays sometimes...
Maybe he's having problems with his teenage sons? They tried an "Imus" with a remote camera last week and it didn't work out real well. Or maybe they are negotiating?

23. Erin Burnette (the money honey) had the best
lines on that show. She referred to Bush as the "monkey in the middle"...you know, "that chimp" when a photo was shown of Bush. She was very giggly and edgy that day. Willie was visibly aghast. "You mean, MY president?".
Meanwhile, Joe is like the other conservatives, always wrong. Just listen to his predictions. He hasn't been right yet. About anything. He has the same batting average as Bill Kristol or David Frum.
David Schuster (despite his unfortunate Chelsea slur) and Burnette are the main reasons to watch. Mika needs to grow a spine. Even her father told her she was too much of a "mouse" on the show. She takes feminine deference to an entirely new level of queasiness. C'mon, Mika. We know you're from a strong political family. Don't be so insipidly timorous.
