(223 posts)I am feeling that way right now. But it makes me sad, because it used to be more balanced left and right. And it's gotten WAYYYYYY over the top. Scarborough is down right abusive to Mika. I want her to file a lawsuit. That's what happens in the work place, blocking women from being taken seriously, glass ceiling. I swear, he's bipolar. He can be good some days/moments and turn on a dime. That's like spousal abuse. I want to scream at Mika, GET OUT!!!!

(34,423 posts)But they never said which Romney--the blustering Neocon who has almost every Bush war criminal on his payroll or the Peace Love Dove Mitt we saw last night? Oh, my, which one, indeed?

What is a Morning Joe and why should I care if it's not a brand of coffee?

(5,810 posts)Because then Joe Klein came on and gave a totally scathing review of Romney's "performance" last night.
Morning Joe is a trial by fire for anyone even slightly leaning to the Left, much less a full blown Lefty. But once in a while they throw us a bone and have someone on to counter the usual shills and, of course, Joe's blustering and bluffing. His rudeness to Mika is another matter, but if she is dumb enough to sit there and take it, as she often does, I am sure she gets an earful on Twitter and in email. Guess she gets paid a lot to be his lackey.
The antidote is to A. Not watch or B. Watch but wait for it and there will someone to soothe your jangled nerves.
I have the misfortune of living in the part of Florida that Joe S. once represented.....not that he lets anyone EVER forget that he was once in Congress. So I have more than a few reasons to have angst when watching Morning Joe. Sometimes I just take a break from watching it when it gets to be too annoying. Life is way too short to let these things get to you. Know thyself and if watching shows like MJ make you too upset or angry, give it a rest or turn it to something less controversial like The Food Network or even turn off the TV and find a good book!

(3,333 posts)Rove pulled that shit in 2000 with Bush. He ran around claiming a huge win in the popular vote and 320 electoral votes. He went so far as to start spending money in California as a head fake.
It didn't work then and it won't work now.
