1. you don't like the hosts, you don't like the guests,
you don't like the conversation.

so . . . . if I can be so bold . . . uh . . . why, uh . . . do you. . . . have it on?

2. I understand it.
I can't stand Morning Joe, but it's my crack. I have such a masochistic relationship with it. I think the guests are good a lot of the time though. However, I think that I need a support group for withdrawing from Morning Joe.

3. well . . I can't be much help there
I have to get my Mika-fix each morning.

So glad joe is away - I do not need him with my morning coffee.

And I agree - I like the guests. And I must admit to liking buchanan. I certainly do not agree with most of what he says, but, he is a conservative worth listening to most of the time. I would prefer they not invite huckleberry any more - at least until he becomes the VP nominee.

I like most of their coverage. I like that they have good financial coverage - to include crazy Jim Cramer every once in a while.

I wish they would find a replacement for Willie - he gets on my nerves. But I like the frequent visit by David Schuster.

6. Don't worry about it, hell we can't stick our heads in the sand, not watch any news or
current events, politics show. You have to pay attention to what the enemy is saying. Go ahead and watch and just do what you did here this morning bitch about it, most understand where you are coming from. Maybe some day they will do better at balancing their personal opinions. They do have some good guests on such as General Clark this morning.

I get tired of their bs as well, especially when they have the idiot boy Tucker on.

7. "Morning Joe" has improved
in Scarborough's absence, sparing us his pontifical condescension. But we're still left with Mika's incessant grubbing for attention. Her eyes are constantly locked on camera like a heat-seeking missile, and I don't think I've ever heard anyone on that show utter a single sentence without Mika talking over them with her stream of consciousness "Yeah....yeah...uh-huh...oh no!...that's what I thought, too...could be...yes!...etc." Oh, and Buchanan with his political insights, which would be relevant if this were still 1970.

The show is watchable only because of its varied and interesting lineup of guests. Besides, what's the competition at that hour? CNN? Or the ABC/CBS/NBC morning talkshows? ("Coming up next: Ten things you didn't know about yogurt!")

12. He was off last week
on vacation, I thought they said. This morning they said that his wife, expecting a baby "sometime this summer," might be giving birth a bit early so Scarborough is standing by for that.

5. Actually that's my favorite talk show
on the tube at present. I don't always agree with everything that's said but I do like
getting a wide assortment of viewpoints and different angles to various issues.

10. I'm guessing they're discussing what a KY loss will mean for Obama without
discussing what an OR loss will mean for Clinton, which is why I don't bother watching Morning "dead intern" Joe, nor any programming in which Pat KKK Buchanan is a guest.
