Why are Joe and Mika defending Palin?

[realitythink]

WTF? It seems like they are on her payroll. It's like watching spokespeople from a PR firm hired by the Palin's to repair the damage to her extremely tarnished reputation. I think Joe is hitching himself to that wagon because he really thinks it's the future of the Rethug party and Mika is just a dumb ass hitching herself to Joe. It's very funny to watch.

1. I can't tell you what to do

but try shutting that crap off.

[realitythink]

4. I know, you're right

It's like a car accidental that you can't turn away from. Do I at least get points for keeping the sound down for most of it? I'm usually listening to podcasts while watching.

2. It's their own little "cottage industry." They're trying it out to see if they can make something

out of it.

I really don't think they believe a word of what they say. As long as we keep watching them and commenting in DU, they'll keep feeding us, I guess, but hey, I'm guilty too. I can't seem to keep away for too long, just to get a read on what new idiocy they'll come up with...

[curse of greyface]

3. Well I can't explain Joe. But I'm pretty sure Mika

doesn't want intelligence and competence to be the new requirements for professional Republican woman.

6. She herself exhibits no signs of intelligence and competence.

She is nothing more than a vapid sidekick for The Scab; her purpose is to stroke his ego and agree with everthing he says.

5. yeah, all tv commentators should be DEM partisans.

how dare they not trash only the GOP. assholes.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. Matt Lauer did that on The Today Show too. It seems that there is a serious attempt

to strengthen that base, base of hers.

Lauer had McShame's spokeperson Nicole Wallace on in order to discredit the reports coming out of the McShame campaign against the Wasilla Hillbilly. Now that her job has ended, it looks like Wallace has also decided to hang her star on the politics of hate.

8. Maybe they drank the Moose-Aid? n/t

[chitty]

9. Mika would be working at

The Waffle House if her dad was just another Joe Six Pack.

She has shown, beyond a doubt, that she is nothing more than a mindless shill.
