Mika takes Joe to task--Joe tells her to calm down and lower her voice

[justiceischeap]

What's amazing about this video is that the entire time Scar talks through her point which is quite rude and condescending. Yet Mika never really gets to a point where she needs to calm down, nor does she really raise her voice but boy did her tell her without the words, "Shut the fuck up, woman, your opinion doesn't matter!"

2. I almost feel sorry for people who watch this drivel

[justiceischeap]

3. I don't understand why she stays on the show

She seems to have a bit more sense than Joe and he's always patronizing her. Money can't mean that much to her (or maybe it can).

[Boom Sound 416]

6. It's the sizzle

[polichick]

15. Ya know, if she ever did tell him in no uncertain terms exactly what he is...

someone would offer her a show of her own.

[Atman]

27. Have you watched their new self-promo?

Mika grew up in the White House. Literally. Daddy was President Carter's right hand man. She was buds with Amy Carter as a teenager. She breathes rarified air. She can't do anything else but look pretty and tell people what she thinks (does she think?). She happily admits that she's seen no current movies and hates all modern culture. She is the epitome of privilege and elitism. That said, she is an absolute genius compared to Joe Scab, and so far above the bubble heads on Fox "News."

The whole show sucks. But I think Mika is kinda okay.

[Bonx]

25. I have no idea who Mika & Joe are

[Mike Daniels]

4. It's telling that CNN is not capable of producing a morning show that leaves Morning Joe in the dust

One would think people would watch anything that offered a decent alternative to an angry "dry" drunk who berates his female co-host and talks over guests who are better informed than he is on particular issues.

5. So how did it end?

Was she able to get them to discuss real news and not speculations on old stories? I liked that she was not backing down and he really did sound like an idiot. She needs to stand up to him a lot more.

[Glitterati]

7. IF she had any self respect

She would simply get up and walk off the set when he behaves like that.

The VERY best approach to such sexism is to refuse to participate in it.

[polichick]

8. Considering the topics she writes about, this show must be some kind of test...

Maybe one day she'll put the things she writes about into practice. I hope so!

At least in this instance, she doesn't let him stop her.

9. If mika wants to shut Scar up

the next time he talks about when he was in Congress, she should just ask " Since you are such an authority and were so good, Why did you leave?? I can just hear the crickets chirping!!!

[SalviaBlue]

10. Unfuckingbelievable... what a pig. nt

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

11. Careful, Mika...

We know what Joe does to female employees...

[DrDan]

12. I was telling my wife about this exchange and how condescending joe was - I had her watch

the taped 3rd hour so she could see it herself - and kept telling her how disgusting joe was acting.

Guess what - the producers cut this portion during the taped 3rd hour! They are beginning to realize what a condescending pos he is.

[justiceischeap]

13. Did she get him to actually do the news that last hour?

I don't watch this show, I saw the clip on Facebook and thought I'd share it here.

[DrDan]

23. yes - I believe so - it was this part that seems to have been cut

can't wait to show this to my wife as I kept telling her how juvenile he was acting . . . . then it never came on

[Mike Daniels]

14. What makes his behavior worse is that he was babbling like an idiot

spouting the FOX News talking points vis a vis the plane being taken to Pakistan to be used for future terror attacks.

Just more proof that Scarborough really is the weak link on what has the makings to be a decent morning cable "panel" show. It's mind-boggling that MSNBC thinks that people are tuning in exclusively to watch a former C-level Congressman who hasn't held office in years pontificate on things he is woefully out of touch about.

[polichick]

16. The show is watchable when he's not there.

[Mike Daniels]

22. Agreed. The show improves immeasuarably when Joe's not around

Even if for no other reason than people get to actually talk about current events in an intelligent and civilized manner without an attention starved overgrown frat-boy draining the energy from the room.

I've lost track of how many times Joe has hijacked a conversation or stopped one from taking place simply because his POV was in the minority.

[Deuce]

31. Yes, that is the only time i will watch the show.

[Berlum]

[polichick]

19. At least Mika hasn't bumped her head on a desk yet - she must be lucky.

[City Lights]

18. Did he threaten to backhand her as he has in the past?

I won't watch the asswpie to find out on my own. Fuck him.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. Do people watch this shit just to complain about it? Rarely do...

I see anything positive mentioned about these people or any references to whatever "news" might break there.

FWIW, I just listen to NPR in the morning and don't turn the TV on until Jerry Springer's on. That, no doubt, makes me a doubling down idiot.

[polichick]

21. The administration puts its people on the show because...

it's on so early - according to Valerie Jarrett, who has been on many times.

That's one reason to watch it - to get the scoop on what they think is important for the day.

[TreasonousBastard]

26. That makes sense, sort of. But you've go to be junkie enough to...

need the house view so early in the day.

[polichick]

30. My husband and I usually turn it on for a few minutes while getting dressed...

By the graphics and announcements of guests coming up you can tell what the day's topics are in a very short time.

My husband can't stand that they play great classic rock - as if RepubliCons like Joe supported that hippie stuff back in the day. lol

[OregonBlue]

24. It's sad really. She is probably the brighter of the two but she ends up being nothing more

than a toady.

[grasswire]

28. he is the definition of a prick

Truly.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

29. Watch the edge of the desk, Mika

That's how Dead Intern Joe keeps things quiet.

[dogindia]

32. i stopped watching and watch cbs morning with Charlie Rose

I stopped because I could not stand JS anymore. kept thinking msnbc would fire him. I like the guests most times except the horrible republican woman. Not a bad format for a news show. I worry about Mika and whatever hype she has bought in to. She tweeted yesterday or monday that she was so happy to have him back. So something has her hooked.

[dogindia]

33. maybe it is a father thing.

she had a very strong bossy Dad. Now she is connected to someone who is difficult and opinionated but not so nice and not so smart. She is speaking out in this clip even though he is not listening. The show has all these strange pictures of the two of them in many places like they are a couple. What is that about?

[Enthusiast]

34. Watch out, Mika! He'll hit you in your head till you're dead.
