Seriously why did ReTHUGs believe that dragging out neo-con Dan Senor

[malaise]

to discuss matters economics was a good idea. Jeffrey Sachs schooled his incompetent ass.
Robert Gibbs is tearing him a new one.
This is too good!!

1. If MSNBC wants to continue to rise in numbers

they need to stop having right wing nutties on at all.. Leave them for Fox.. They have nothing of any consequence to add and only gobble airtime from the intelligent guests.. Or perhaps have a right wing-only show and watch the ratings dive to the cellar

[brucefan]

2. Morning Joe

is not a right wing only show?

[malaise]

3. Senor was so bad that Joe himself called in

oh well he just did what he always did - declared that he is the most saintly of conservative ReTHUGs blah blah blah and tried sucking up to Sachs who shot him down!

[brooklynite]

17. Yeah! Only show us people we agree with!

[annabanana]

21. Senor should be behind bars.. It's not just "disagreement". . n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

4. I assume this is about a Republican show, hosted by a Republican, which is reported on by DUers

daily in shocked tones that the Republican host of a Republican show is a Republican.

[brooklynite]

24. You will get a debate about that...

"Morning Joe" is a talk show hosted by a former Republican Congressman AND a far more liberal co-host, Mica Brzeinski. The show brings in a variety of talkers (Democratic, Republican, and NBC news reporters) to opine on current events and in my opinion ends up with a fairly balanced and civilized (no "McLaughlin Group"-style arguing) discussion. However, you'll find a number of people here who feel that the Democrats aren't "liberal enough", or that the news people are "too mainstream". They'll complain and then keep watching...

[Graybeard]

5. Senor stinking up the place.

He was allowed to make his case uninterrupted for about 5 minutes. As soon as Ed Rendell was given a chance to speak truth to his lies he interrupts! Typical Rethug tactic. Don't allow the truth to be heard.

You're right that he was made to look like a fool when all of his lies were refuted.

[spanone]

6. fucking tom coburn....fuck you

i guess all the possible democratic guests are busy trying to save the country from the goddam republicans.

[CTyankee]

9. Coburn was letting the cat out of the bag, he was so disgruntled...

explaining how the American people need more pain and are just too comfortable to give up their cushy entitlements...the guy hasn't learned a THING from the election! This kind of talk is exactly why American voters said "HELL, NO!" to the repub brand!

[Liberalynn]

15. The MSNBC Roundtable they had on last night was just as bad

You should have heard David Gregory, Tom Brokaw, and their buddies last night. It's all Dems fault because they keep resisting change to SS and Medicare. The Seniors and AARP want to bankrupt their kids and have no shame about it(That was Brokaw). They said it wasn't going to effect anybody but people like them because all they were talking about was means testing and anything else was deliberately misleading etc, etc. All of them agreeing that SS is adding to the debt, when its not. I was screaming at the set about what a bunch of ignorant assholes they were. My sister got mad at me and left the room.

I thought I was watching Fox.

I hope Current doesn't go away because at least with this group, MSNBC is no friend to Democrats.

The only ones I can stomach on there is Rachel and Rev Al.

[CTyankee]

18. that was meet the press and they re-ran it right before MJ this morning so I saw it and

I agree with your assessment. All of these 1 percenters talking about how the rest of us are just moochers. ALL of it repub talking points.

I think it was brokaw who said he shouldn't have the same Medicare as everyone else since he makes so much money. Here's my response: Fine, Tom, but we have a social contract around Medicare so let's just tax you a helluva lot more, close those loopholes that make the rich richer and re-instate the Estate Tax at the highest level possible.

THEN, and only THEN, we'll talk...

[Liberalynn]

22. I agree with your response to Tom

They were all pretty bad but he was the worst.

[NNN0LHI]

7. Mika and Campbell Brown must be good friends

Mika is using her pull to find Senor some work he us unqualified for.

Don

[John2]

11. They seem to

be giving these losers a lot of say these days. He has nothing of importance, that I want to hear but she just keep trotting those losers out there. Maybe she needs a new job too? Put someone of importance on the show instead of these losers with their drumbeat about cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. These people don't understand no when they hear it. We want them to cut the military and raise taxes on the rich. That means Mika, we want you to pay your taxes. That means Ed Rendell too and Dan Senor. Pay your dam taxes. We are not cutting the benefits for the poor or middle class. The country has spoken.

[John2]

8. Quite frankly

I'm waiting for 2014, when we get to speak again. I'm tired of listening to these people whine about the fiscal cliff and cutting entitlements. I think the only cutting this country needs is to get rid of people like Coburn for good. We need to cut the cancer out of Congress. I have survived up to now and think I will be able to til 2014. This Republican House needs to go period! It is the only way we are going to save this country.

[One of the 99]

10. Joe is not even there yet Mika

has loaded the show with right wingers and Republicans and she parroted GOP talking points to go after Robert Gibbs. Is anyone buying her phoney 'I'm a liberal' act anymore?

[Dalai_1]

12. Certainly not !

How on earth she or Joe got a three hour program,I will never know!

[CTyankee]

19. With that, along with her cheesy promotional photos shwoing her with her bare leg

thrust in the air and leering at Joe, who the hell does she think she's kidding?

Serious journalist? I think not.

[Robyn66]

25. I always refer to her as a "Hooter's waitress"

no offense intended toward Hooters waitresses!

[spanone]

13. senor is a piece of shit. he doesn't miss a chance to take a shot at the President

fuck him and fuck this show.

[CTyankee]

20. You'd think he'd STFU after his humiliation at the hands of Zbig Brzezinski

a month or so ago on Morning Joe, where Dr. Zbig called his statement on foreign policy "almost comical." That made my day, maybe my week...

[alcibiades_mystery]

14. Dan Senor is pretty much directly responsible for the shape and ferocity of the Iraqi insurgency

Thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis are dead because of Dan Senor and his incompetent cronies at the Coalition Provisional Authority. The fact that this guy can get on a television to discuss anything is a ringing indictment of our whole society.

[annabanana]

23. What YOU said. . . n/t

[dorkzilla]

16. I've completely stopped watching the show

Getting angry every morning wasn't working for me anymore, so I just stopped. I don't tune in till Martin Bashir comes on. I feel much better now!

[CTyankee]

26. I love Dr. Sachs! I think he's adorable and I have a crush on him...

he's also really smart. Too bad Joe won't really engage with him, probably cuz Joe is scared to get into it with him...just like he's afraid of Paul Krugman...
