Mika's dad is making teh heads esplode on Morning Blow

[blogslut]

He's suggesting that there's such a thing as having too much money and that the wealthy owe a social responsibility to the poor.

The wee kids are like....waaah?

[ShortnFiery]

1. Thanks for watching so we don't have to. I admire "Mika's Dad"

:applause: :-)

[blogslut]

5. I been yelling at teevee since I was a tot

It's all inane, really. Morning Blow is my way of centering my outrage. I don't run the television machine anymore but with the Intertubes, I can allow myself a sure dose of ridiculous patter.

[lazer47]

8. you use the word "Inane" it should be spelled "INSANE"

16. What's your signature photograph of? It's pretty funny. nt

[blogslut]

20. I stole someone's Second Life graphic

...of Marat in his bath - without the bath.

I then found images of people bathing and put the heads of the worst, most offensive pundits on top of the bodies. The pundits are (from the left) Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh.

It's my artistic way of saying that I think these professional blatherers are nothing but bitter, diseased observers, perfectly willing to bring on a reign of terror from their putrid podiums.

Here's a larger version of the image:

[Captain Hilts]

22. Thanks! I couldn't tell what the images on the faces were! nt

[Manifestor_of_Light]

29. Ah yes! The Death of Marat, by Jacques Louis David.

Loved Art History!!

Good work!! Where's Charlotte Corday???? :D

[blogslut]

32. I played her in college

You know, "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean Paul Marat, as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton, Under the Direction of the Marquis DeSade" - Marat/Sade for short.

:hi:

[Hekate]

34. Now I get it! I recognized the Marat-Sade composition, but not the faces or details

Thanks for the explanation and the wit.

[blogslut]

36. Thanks

I know the sig image is squinty but there's a size limit on those. :)

[Zywiec]

2. He is sure making a lot of sense!

Who needs a billion dollars to be happy? As he says, that's a thousand million!!!!

[Atman]

3. I loved Joe's silence. He's afraid of being calling "stunningly superficial" again.

:rofl:

.

[patrice]

9. OMG! Someone said that TO him?!!!

[shadowknows69]

11. Zibby pwned him hard on a previous show.

Joey was a bumbling muttering mess. There were nearly tears.

[patrice]

13. And there's almost no one who can do Superior like ZB can!! Poor Joey -> Out of his league!

26. HuffPost - Zbigniew Brzezinski Calls Joe Scarborough 'Stunningly Superficial'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/30/zbigniew-brzezinski-calls_n_154211.html

December 30, 2008 10:31 AM

On this morning's Morning Joe, former U.S. National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski offered his expertise on the conflict in Gaza. It was all very insightful! But you'll want to just skip to the end of this clip, where host Joe Scarborough attempts to ask for Brzezinski's daughter Mika's hand in marriage or something by insisting that "you cannot blame what's going on in Israel on the Bush administration." This prompted Zbig to reply, "You know, you have such a stunningly superficial knowledge of what went on that it's almost embarrassing to listen to you." Burn!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

With video at the link!

[Hekate]

35. It was a brilliant moment. I would have hated to be Mika with Daddy so pissed off...

I mean, what's that about? Mika's father is brilliant, whether you agree with him or not, and she plays a blonde twittering sidekick on national cable tv. Ouch.

But I sure did appreciate Zbiggy's well-deserved put-down of that idiot Joe. "Stunningly superficial" indeed. :rofl:

[Mika]

4. He also thought it was a good idea to radicalize Afghans to go after the Soviets.

Turned out to be not such a great idea.

[blogslut]

6. That may be true

But on this particular point, he is right. Don't you agree?

[shadowknows69]

12. Mika is that you?

[Captain Hilts]

15. It was a great idea at the time. nt

[Mika]

28. Radicalizing extremists to blow up Russian civilians (infidels) was a great idea?

:crazy:

Fuckin' crazy is what it was. Murderous. American imperialism at its worst.

[librechik]

25. If we had honored our commitments and stayed loyal to the mujaheddin after the Soviets left

The WTC would be standing today.

We suck!

Let's get BETTER!

[fujiyama]

33. What commitments and what should we have stayed loyal to?

The Mujhadeen was already radicalized after the war - fueled by the religious fanatics in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan - funded and armed by us! Though I suppose we could have at least tried to encourage a secular government to form. Then again, I'm skeptical. A highly Islamized Pakistan wouldn't have been interested.

We knew it then and it was just short term thinking. We were fucked from the start - and that was right when we decided to arm the Mujahadeen in the first place.

ZB is a fucking snake and many on the left love him because he talks a little smack to half-wits like Joe. Sorry, I think they're all nuts.

[PearliePoo2]

7. loved it when he asked..

How many yachts do you need? How many houses or cars does one really need? (i dunno..ask Johnny McPain).
Joey is subdued this time...saying Brez called everything correctly the last time he was on the show. ha...the last time Brez said Scar was "stunningly superficial"! Smoke came out of Joey's ears!
:rofl:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

10. Good for him!

About time these people realize that it has been long said that this is the case. Why in the world did they think Jesus said it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

[shadowknows69]

17. The rich just figure they can afford a small enough camel maybe?

How you doing Ayesha?

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

24. Much better, thank you

And are you recovered from your move? I wish you peace.

[shadowknows69]

27. Moved mostly but not unpacked

But it will be over soon.

[Captain Hilts]

14. He's scary smart and one of the few that got the Soviet collapse right. nt

[ErinBerin84]

18. oh man, and Jim Cramer's response

"But, we don't want to discourage these people from WINNING BIG, do we?"

[Mudoria]

19. I'm not sure what program you saw but I didn't hear anyone

sitting there disagree with him. In fact I'd say everyone agreed with him.

[blogslut]

21. They were too skeered to disagree with him

You saw Cramer's tepid attempt and how quickly and elegantly Zig shot him down. Like others above said, they were afraid he would humiliat them on teevee.

[ErinBerin84]

23. yep. Cramer looked positively horrified.

[Jennicut]

30. Mika's Dad is way cooler then she is. My Dad is major conservative. Sometimes families are like that

She needs to learn a few lessons from him on how to get a backbone!

[PM Martin]

31. True.
