Mika B.: "She seems pretty smart." I NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT'S UP.

[PCIntern]

Guess whom she's referring to...

Hey Mika, what's it like to be a dope? Really. you grew up in a house with others who had superior intelligence and you always felt inadequate. Your father and brothers probably pilloried you and rightfully so. Palin makes you look good and you empathize with her. You haven't been around enough dopes in your life and you enjoy being on top. Figuratively that is.

sorry for the disjoint post but I'm operating on 3 hours sleep after a terrible loss in the world Series and TRYING TO SURVIVE FISCALLY IN THIS FRIGGING NIGHTMARE!

2. I'd have to drink if I worked for that bastard Joey.

That slovenly racist Klansman Pat Buchanan wannabe.

3. You nailed it. A family of achievers, and she's basically the weather lady.

Everything about her positive support for Palin is projection by Mika. Everything she says is about Mika's resentments over being considered a political lightweight by everyone around her. And like Palin, it's a reputation she earned and deserves.

7. Last week Joe said that Mika trembles and whimpers when her dad comes on...

The crew has said such things before too ~ nobody ever says WHY. Is he an abuser?

9. The way she capitulates to men...

...really is glaring.

I think she's playing the role that she was assigned in her family. It's nearly impossible
for her to have an original thought. She seems trapped inside of herself--playing the role of
"ornament."

Maybe this is due to her father being so intelligent, and maybe she was treated like nothing more
than an ornament or laughed at when she had an opinion. Or worse.

I've seen this dynamic played out by many women--and most of them came from very dysfunctional
families where the father was controlling and dominating. Some were abused. Some weren't.

11. That makes sense...

If that's how it was for her growing up, the worst thing could do is work with a guy like Joe. I hope she figures it out and empowers herself.

13. my thought exactly -- she is Mika the Meek whenever confronted by real journalists

[BlooInBloo]

8. (shrug) She's about as smart as just about any other journalism major.

[CoffeeCat]

10. Hey now...

I was a journalism major.

...but I do have a minor in economics. Does that help? Probably not.

12. That's the way to inspire world-wide confidence - tell them that the

dumber part of the dumb and dumber ticket is really pretty smart.

McCain/Palin, the ticket that would instill world-wide panic.
