Morning Joe coverage of Tampa Vs Charlotte...

This is why Dem's should not watch MJ...In Tampa, Morning Joe was swooning over the Republicans. If it weren't for Chris Matthews on that single day with RNC chair Preibus, it would have been complete love fest.

In Charlotte, the Democrats are treated like shit. I'd love to see all sorts of Dem's bail on MJ for the week. If they cannot be treated with the same respect as the Republicans, then why do they even bother?

Oh and yea, fuck you Scarborough!

I was at the MSNBC booth looking for her but was told she wouldn't be filming from there.

(PS don't we know that Joe Scar is hateful and don't watch him anyway?)

3. I watched about 5 minutes of it & Joe Scum was your typical rude Republican host

stepping on people's answers, interrupting, generally being an ass. What good is Mika? She just sits there like a rock. Arrgh. I immediately switched it to the Today Show to try to catch my local weather before leaving the house, and who do I see? Matt Lauer attempting to interview Paul Ryan. Of course he doubled down on every one of his campaign speech lies and every time Matt Lauer let him get away with it. I had to turn it to Bill Press before my blood pressure began to rise. Double Arrgh!

9. ABC interview was taped, and Warren's replies were heavily edited & snipped out.

Vargas was so insulting to her, then they edited out all of Warren's reply, except for her first sentence, to the loaded $716B Medicare question Vargas asked her.

On CBS Rose & Whora Nora double teamed Warren. Both were vicious and in snarling attack mode, asking over and over if we were better off. Stepping on her answers (which were excellent, of course). Interrupting her with snarls and sneers.

Nora was especially disgusting in her role as the journalistic savior of us all who was going to get to the bottom of Elizabeth's lies, FORCE her to tell the truth, expose Obama, and save us all from the Dems.

Warren was terrific, when she was allowed to answer. Oh, I so badly want to see someone call these assholes out for being on Koch's direct payroll.

And this is what the millions of people who don't watch Morning Joe are seeing, after a week of the same people wallowing in the Repubs' swill.

Both CBS & ABC had Lyin Ryan on the same segment with Warren, and both allowed him to spin and spew and lie to his heart's content.

I am too disgusted. Yes, I knew it was going to happen, still, I was so unprepared.

5. He's A Useful Idiot...

If Joey were that politically smart and popular, he'd be on the rushpublican ticket, not his "friend" Pinocchio Munster. If anything, I'm seeing a lot of jealousy in Joey these days as he surely thinks he's the smartest guy in the room; especially among his fellow knuckle draggers. He's a good source for the day's talking points that you're sure to hear other use later in the day and to "trial balloon" new ones. He's a major asshole with a massive ego and that's why he's where he's at.

With the rushpublicans continuing to go off the political abyss, I see Joey chomping to find his chance to be the next "Raygun". He'll ride from the television like his idle Ronnie did and lead his party to power and glory. The hang up here is most in his party can't stand him. If he were that smart and popular the GOTB would be rolling over to have him run for the Senate from Florida...they didn't even consider him.

Lookin' forward to the week...

14. The show is great

when Joe and Mika aren't there. (Mika's just flighty.)
When Willie hosts or Barnacle, the show is framed as an interesting conversation.
I tuned into today, thinking that I would see some Dems. But even when the Dems should be given the courtesy of the same kind of fanfare that the Rethugs got last week, Joke couldn't refrain from being obnoxious.

Dear Joe,
Your white trash is showing.
Love,
Scarlett
