What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday, DC was deep in the throes of impeachment fever. Today, the collective political temperature has plummeted all because of deputy AG Rod Rosenstein’s appointment of the highly-respected Robert Mueller as special counsel to oversee the investigation of possible Russian involvement in the presidential election.
As a...
Joe Scarborough likes to make himself out to be a simple country lawyer. But on today’s Morning Joe, he ran afoul of a cardinal lawyering rule: never ask a witness a question to which you don’t know the answer.
Scarborough laid out a lengthy timeline for the purpose of teeing up law...
How are Dems playing their reaction to the news that President Trump shared intelligence information with the Russians during a White House visit? Judging by the statement from former Obama special assistant Ned Price, they’ve turned it up to 11. Appearing on today’s Morning Joe, Price said:
“Last week we had this...
On his Fox News show last night, Tucker Carlson ripped Mika Brzezinski for quoting, on yesterday’s Morning Joe, unflattering things that Kellyanne Conway allegedly said about Donald Trump in private, off-the-air conversations.
Tucker cited Mika as an example of journalists who have “degraded and humiliated themselves” out of their anti-Trump “hysteria.” Tucker:...
Earlier this month, Joe Scarborough compared President Trump to his own mother, “who has had dementia for ten years.” Joe was back on his Trump-is-crazy beat on today’s Morning Joe.
After Mika cited a Washington Post article quoting an anonymous source who wondered whether President Trump “is in the grip of some...
Three months ago, as we reported here, Mika Brzezinski barred Kellyanne Conway from Morning Joe, accusing Conway of propagating “fake news.”
Continuing her war on Kellyanne, Mika is now trying to keep Conway off the air on a rival network. Said Brzezinski on Morning Joe today: “note to CNN, sorry, I love CNN,...
On today’s Morning Joe, Mika Brezezinski didn’t hesitate to tell Trump spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders “you’re actually not telling the truth right now” while discussing the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Mika’s jab came in response to Sanders’ assertion that everyone—including Scarborough—has come to the same conclusion: that there is no evidence...
Is Mika Brzezinski feeling empowered by her recently-disclosed engagement to Joe Scarborough? On today’s Morning Joe, Mika confidently proclaimed that “I know my little meltdowns make you all laugh. They’re always right.”
Mika went on to predict, “I’m telling you right now, these guys [in the Trump admin] are going to find...
On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said he didn’t want to bring religion into the health care debate. But he then proceeded to do just that.
He said that he’s not judging anybody, but then said that the Republican health care bill can’t be defended “morally.”
Scarborough:
“I’m sorry, don’t want to bring religion into...
When did the word “optics” enter the political lexicon? In any case, the Morning Joe crew today ripped the look of the Republican Rose Garden ceremony of yesterday at which President Trump and House members celebrated the passage of their health care bill.
Donny Deutsch said they were “a bunch of fat,...
This isn’t the first time that Mika Brzezinski has said something critical about Clinton world. So maybe it was just a coincidence that on the day it became public that she and Joe Scarborough have become engaged, Mika took a real shot at the decision not to go after Huma Abedin...
“Pathetic.” “Arrogance.” Those were the key words that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski used on today’s Morning Joe, respectively, to describe Hillary Clinton’s excuse-making for her loss. As our Mike LaChance—the artist formerly known as Aleister—has noted, Hillary was interviewed by Christiane Amanpour yesterday. Clinton paid lip service to her own...
The entire opening segment of today’s Morning Joe was devoted to Joe and Mika’s suggestion that President Trump is, literally, demented.
The show repeatedly cited Douglas Brinkley’s claim that in his recent interviews, Trump showed himself to be in a “confused mental state.” Joe made his view very explicit. Focusing on a...
It’s unanimous! 7.5 billion to zero! No one in the entire world likes Donald Trump!
That would be the conclusion you’d have to draw if you watched the segment NBC’s Richard Engel prepared for today’s Morning Joe on international reaction to Trump’s first 100 days. From the UK to South Korea, the...
The one sure thing about politics that this Insurrectionist has learned can be summed up in two words: “things change.” So just like James Carville, who was wrong when in 2009 he wrote a book predicting that Dems would rule for 40 more years, it would be a bad mistake for...
During today’s Morning Joe discussion of the ouster of Bill O’Reilly at Fox News, Joe Scarborough asked, “Do they remake over the entire network? Is anybody else in the [Murdoch] family’s crosshairs right now?”
Replied New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters: “I think you have to look at somebody like Sean Hannity,...
Is Joy Reid going to rap DNC Chairman Tom Perez on the knuckles for failure to abide by her anointed nomenclature? As we noted this past weekend, MSNBC host Reid reprimanded Republican Katon Dawson for speaking of the “Democrat” party. She warned Dawson that “we’re going to have a talking-to,” she...
