Morning Jerk just said that MSNBC needs a new political producer in DC...
and he was going to go look in the homeless district for their next candidate. This was said after a clip that showed Mr. Ted Williams announcing his new job announcing for MSNBC's Lean Forward commercials. Mika kept saying it was a 'good story.' Morning Jerk looked at her and said "you are the one who wanted to leave him (Mr. Williams) where they found him."

I hope someone gets that on tape.

BTW, now they are joking about finding their pundits "under the bridge".

2. It is more offensive that they are mocking a man who
has caught a break. Mr. Jobsjobsjobs can't just simply congratulate a man on a change in fortune and a break in the industry in which he used to work. I sent them an email shaming them for this. The whole panel, including the saintly Reverend Meacham, the essense of piety and propriety himself, where snarking in full force. This needs to be addressed because this is exactly the attitude of the wealthy of this nation toward the poor and working class.

4. Good post but remember
Ted Williams was neither poor nor working class - he crashed due to addiction.
The bottom line is that this not stop talk about Williams means that they don't have to talk about Sessions violation of the constitution.

11. Yes the more they can fill their time with bullshit the less they have to inform us as to what
is really happening that is of interest to many of us. :hi:

I'm happy for Mr Williams and wish him a full recovery, of which this new job of his is a step in the right direction. What an inspiration he is

14. I worry for Mr Williams
Like you I'm happy for him but the ratings madness of M$Greedia will more than likely lead him back to drugs.

3. It's a take on something Mika said yesterday.
I think she was less than happy about all the good things happening to Mr Williams. She said she was worried it wouldn't turn out well or something. That is what Joe is ragging on her for.

5.  I can guess that Mika thinks he will be back'under the bridge' in no time.
more of the 'once a poor person, always a poor person' attitude. 'Leave him homeless, he will be happier.'

or as one famous mother once said "It's all working out well for them" of Katrina victims.

7. That show is something else. You'd think Joe & Mika were lovers with
the photography they do of them together....lovely photos...stills..and always talking about their "road trips" together. What's with that? They seem to spend more time together than with their own families..and don't they both have young children?

The sneering and pandering of both of them towards anyone they don't agree with and introduction of Talking Points show they are a mouthpiece for who runs them. I suspect it's either "Third Way" or "Council on Foreign Relations" with a little "AIPAC" and "American Enterprise Institute" thrown in with a pinch of "No Labels." Maybe some CIA in there too. Mika's father and Joe's RW mother are also featured.

It's fun to watch sometimes, but it messes with one's mind to listen to long to the propaganda and watch their "branding" of themselves. UGH! :-(

10. I think the artsy photos are pretty cool.
And Morning Joe makes me laugh. I know they are sometimes on the irreverent side and less than serious but i like it. Richard Haass and Mika's Dad are fascinating to listen to.

8. Apparently Mr. Williams should have been grateful for his nice bridge to live under?
:banghead:

13. I missed that...
but not surprised coming from the Morning Bullies. They should be celebrating Mr. Williams' good fortune instead of disparaging it. Mika and Joe are both so shallow.
