This is why I "love" Morning Joe/Rethug "logic":

[PCIntern]

1. When a far RW Rethug wins, then it validates the Conservative Mantra.
2. When a so-called "moderate" Rethug wins (translation: masturbation should not a be a Federal crime, but it should depend upon the states to determine whether it is illegal or not), then it validates the Reasonableness-of-Republicanism-In-General Mantra.
3. When a Democrat wins, the margin is never sufficient for a 'convincing' victory and thus validates the Conservative Mantra.
4. When a Democrat wins by a huge margin, it is a given that the "minority", "affirmative-action", or whatever moniker of the month was too great to overcome because they want their "Free Stuff", thus validating the Conservative Mantra.

It's like having Pravda right in your living room!

1. JOe is an idiot

I don't watch idiots.

[whathehell]

18. Yes, he was doing quite the victory lap this morning..

As is frequently the case, I had to turn him off.

[mikeysnot]

45. What can the guy that is always wrong

do a victory lap over? Chris Christie?

[whathehell]

47. His victory lap seemed to be about Christie, the number of dems who voted for him,

which was about 30% (appalling, IMO) and the fact that Cuccinelli seemingly lost by a

much slimmer margin than was expected.

[mikeysnot]

48. It must suck to be in his world....

[whathehell]

49. Yes, I would think so. n/t

[kaiden]

2. Exactly. Some of them are my neighbors!

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. I love how they talk about the Kochs/business community coming to the rescue of sensible republicans

Somehow leaving out the fact that these same folks had everything to do with giving us these nutbag teahadists in the FIRST PLACE.

[PCIntern]

5. Koch To The Rescue!

...just like the Lone-Fricking-Ranger.

[Heather MC]

29. Ironically The real Lone Ranger was black

[avebury]

4. That is a pretty funny analysis and oh so true! nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

6. never in my living room!

we've not watched cable "news" in 6 years now. blood pressure lower, frustration level lower, mood highly elevated!

I find out all I need to know from the good people of DU who put on the toxic waste suits and delve in and report back here.

[pacalo]

11. I can't stomach watching it, either.

It's like allowing trolls into your living room.

[go west young man]

19. Same here...6 years clean and loving life.

Got Netflix and Hulu for 30 bucks a month total on a PS3. Now we have movie events and no one's a vegetable or a brainwashed political sheep.

[pacalo]

22. I get my news on DU, but I do dvr the MSNBC evening shows.

Netflix & Hulu are great to have because there aren't many good movies being made these days.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

28. I got a gift for my last birthday that's kept me busy. Every episode of MST3K on VHS....

Guy on screen: Some mysterious force is dragging us down!

Joel: The plot?

[heaven05]

25. yep. Been the same for me

no use since the RW propaganda machine kicked in while Bushmoney and darth were in office. I mean they even got to NPR.

[cilla4progress]

30. There you go again -

being all balanced and everything...



Thanks for being a great role model. Though I'm nowhere near your level of balance yet... !

[FSogol]

7. Yup, according to them Democratic wins in VA prove the GOP is on top!

[Victor_c3]

8. Forgot to include this in your 4th situation

Conservatives believe that they lost because their candidate wasn't conservative enough. A more conservative/crazy candidate would do better next time.

[PCIntern]

9. Yes, but not on Mourning Joe...

your statement is a truism on most other shows. He generally in recent years, has discarded this, although it occasionally does pop its ugly head up. Sort of like dead intern stuff does...

[Victor_c3]

10. true. I got a little carried away n/t

[Thav]

12. I'm interested in seeing the spin

in one race where the GOP was claiming this election was a referendum on the ACA, and the dems won handidly. So does that mean that Americans want Obamacare? After all, it was a referendum on it!

I'm anxious to hear the spin on that.

[PCIntern]

13. "We never said that" will be their response...

To paraphrase one of their "eloquent" spokesmen: THEY LIE!

[Thav]

46. I heard something maybe related to that

Since the win was by a small percentage they were saying, "2% is hardly a referendum on anything."

[monmouth3]

14. No mention of the DeBlasio win for the five or so minutes I tuned in. Perhaps

they mentioned it later on but it was all Christie, all of the time.

[rurallib]

15. Bill Press is on FreespeechTV and then Stephanie Miller is on the radio

[Snarkoleptic]

16. What makes it worse is a news blurb I read that

mentioned he's making around $5MM/ year for his "services" on M$NBC.

[B Calm]

17. I rather watch Washington Journal. Funny listening to the stupid

right wing callers, because that's my laugh for the day.

[grantcart]

20. Just another blessed reason to be on the West Coast.

[ctsnowman]

21. K & R

[underpants]

23. Gregory and Todd explained how the Va election was BAD for the Dems

I heard them at the gym and laughed out loud

[PCIntern]

26. Of course it's BAD...HORRENDOUS!!! in fact!

So who's gonna be in the Governor's Mansion for four years or more?

[gopiscrap]

24. Every time Scar talks the resposne should be:

"What about that dead intern?"

[bearssoapbox]

43. That's what I think every time I hear his name.

One ended up resigning, the other got a platform to misinform people and get paid for doing it.

Yeah.

Sounds fair.

[gopiscrap]

50. yup, it still pisses me off

[HoosierCowboy]

27. Democratic Victories yesterday are "A move to the center"

According to the SeeBS Morning News, the election results show a "move to the center". Lets unspin this and call it what it is, a MOVE TO THE LEFT.

Major victories in New York and Virginia ought to be a warning sign to the Baggers that their old tired rhetoric doesn't play outside Hog Hollow.

[PCIntern]

32. Love the "SeeBS'...!

Thanks!

[hvn_nbr_2]

31. Pravda right in your living room!

"It's like having Pravda right in your living room!"

That's why I call the American "news" media CorpoPravda. "CorpoPravda--all the news that Jack Welch wants you to hear."

[Skittles]

33. SCHEDULING PCINTERN FOR REMEDIAL ASS KICKING

*EGREGIOUS*

[blkmusclmachine]

34. When did we start believing what Republicans have to say about anything? They are pathological liars

[valerief]

35. It IS Pravda right in your living room. nt

[Historic NY]

36. The problem is they'er a bunch of "wankers" over there.

Thats European or Aussie.

[Mosaic]

37. Joe sticks out like sore thumb

On the entire network. Sure Chuck Todd, and a few others just spew and enforce the corporate mindset. Joe is a relic from another age, he's a joke, and I want to see him answer for the intern that died. Enough with the mercy on this asshole.

[Samantha]

38. He is not "a relec from another age" -- he was a relec from the moment he was born n/t

[silvershadow]

39. They are a strange lot. He's kinda creepy to be honest with you. nt

[polynomial]

40. Home alone in political beliefs

Joe in the morning is a very clever political sophist. From my view Joe treats his audience like everyone is a home alone kid that has huge resources in economic fantasy land. Joe in the morning is the Peter Pan of Republican Captain hooks trying sack your tax money.

As other journalist in the cable spectrum he has connections that pay off indirectly. One associate anchor Andrea Mitchell who is wife of former chairman of the Federal Reserve, Allen Greenspan, has cast a spell on MSNBC for the longest time. Andre is a very wicked sort privy to trillion dollar deals in the past decades.

Andrea knowing very well who has a deep pocket loaded with tax payer money syphoned from the system. Huge amounts of money used to pay off judicial penalties. From my view, MSNBC is of a nature like Fox news in masquerade however with the enchantment of mystery encounters of the third kind in weird politics not even or parallel to constitution always open to the famous round table statement “there are many unanswered questions.” Everyone has heard one time or another. Always debating, but leaving a discussion with mystery, when in fact it should report to draw conclusions.

Imagine being wife of the former economic brain of the one percenters that controlled the secret trillion dollar federal money deals for decades. Those upper crust genitals likely have a stash of tax money so huge they have the capability to pay money penalty for a long time to stay out of jail. The next step is we the people vote in an honest political person that has the courage to hammer the judicial gauntlet to exhaust that tea party stock pile.

That being said because money is free speech we the people need to learn how to speak the language.

[merrily]

42. "a very clever political sophist"

Agreed. And utterly lacking ethics or honesty. Dangerous combo.

[merrily]

41. Joe Scarborough is as sleazy and dishonest as they come.

Unfortunately, he usually manages to sound reasonable to the gullible.

[tclambert]

44. In all those so-called "losses," the Republicans actually came in second.

Second place sounds a lot better than second to last.

That's how Pravda used to spin a loss in a two-person race.
