oh, good lord! Mika acting like little Miss Priss in a "discussion" on Michael Douglas today

[CTyankee]

on Morning Joe! But so was Joe the Jerk, so it is par for the course. But today was even beyond their usual utterly stupid. Joe was playing the part of Dirty Old Man and Mika the schoolmarm (she even smacked him at one point). That stuff is so old it is embarrassing.

I have emailed them that they need to act a little more grown up about how deadly STD's can be contracted. This is a public health issue and needs to be part of sex ed for our kids and our awareness as adults. Mika even tried to shut off the discussion when she said "Shh, children are watching!"

O.M.G.

1. This topic deserves a serious discussion.

One would think they could discuss a public health issue like mature adults.

[malaise]

2. I switched to the French Open very early

when she quoted a Murdoch source to attack the AG

[intaglio]

3. Sorry but for me this is Mika

[Ninga]

4. Morning Schmoe is NOT the place to have a serious discussion about anything!

[CTyankee]

6. I guess this will always be the case. I keep hoping for a more mature conversation and

this stuff keeps happening...just like the old definition of insanity...

[bemildred]

5. Yes, not something to make fun about.

A perfect pretext for a sermon about "protection" and the virtues of monogamy or at least avoiding too much diversity in ones sex life; which I would think real "conservatives" would make good use of insead of throwing away on feeble attempts at humor.

Mr. Douglas, at least, seems to get that.

[CTyankee]

7. It's just such an old routine. I'm surprised because I think of their audience of being a little

more savvy. At least Thomas Roberts, who is gay, was more mature and normal. He made a mildly funny reference to the fact that this would not be his problem ("trust me&quot . He didn't smirk or act all freaked out like Mika. I wonder what in the world she tells her daughters about sex...well, on second thought, maybe I don't want to know...

8. I dont get it anyone would waste their time watching that show

Life is too short for that pile of garbage.

[tabasco]

9. Why don't you turn that shit off?

Instead of giving them publicity.

[CTyankee]

10. I'm doing that more and more. But even just a half hour this morning produced this stuff.

So it went off pretty early...

[darkangel218]

12. Me thinks you is some sort of masochist.

[CTyankee]

15. No, I've been watching it to see the guests I want to see and hear from and also I want

to know the day's official RW talking points.

But I'm giving it up. Maybe I should go cold turkey...

[closeupready]

13. Exactly - the mind is terrible thing to pollute

with RW garbage like that.

One reason a newshound like me won't even turn on the TV Sunday mornings.

[CTyankee]

16. Oh, I haven't seen the Sunday morning shows for years. I gave them up LONG ago.

Too old, too staid, too republican.

MJ is getting really stupid, instead of just intermittently stupid...

I do like it when Howard Dean is on and he often is. MJ is about the only place I see him any more and I like his commentary on things...

[closeupready]

17. Howard Dean is someone I'd walk over hot coals to see, so

I'm there, too.

[CTyankee]

20. It's a dilemma: if you tune in to see him, you see joe and mika and they are always doing

something ya don't like! Dang!

So it goes. I mute and unmute until Dr. Dean comes on and then all is well. He's really good on MJ, always butting up against Joe.

[AndyA]

11. Glad I missed it.

Thankfully, I turned off the TV after the local news, as I have zero desire to watch The Today Show, and sometimes will switch to Mourning Joe, but usually only for a few minutes (long enough for Joe to tell us about his days in Congress, or for Mika to squirm in her chair, fold her hands and purse her lips as if she's not capable of refuting what's being said).

I think this issue should be dealt with honestly, factually, and without the "this is so dirty" attitude that so many have. Knowledge is power.

[Dash87]

14. These people are idiots not worthy of any viewers.

Mika and Joe Scarborough. It's your typical corny morning show that kills your brain cells, so I wouldn't expect any real, meaningful discussion.

[Octafish]

18. Didn't Mika cause Joe to develop stretch marks around his facial area?

Remember Lori Klausutis.

[L0oniX]

19. "Shh, children are watching!" and participating in this show.
