EASY Prediction for Ya, 'Lil Mika!

by Annie | Leave a comment

 Poor Mika Brzezinski.

She and Morning Joe are falling all over themselves trying to make a story out of the the nothing-burger* Herman Cain story by attacking HOW he is answering the questions, with no self-awareness of how they went to bat for Anthony Weiner who tweeted pictures of his hard d*ck to a college girl – when he had just found out his wife was expecting their first child, no less – just a few months ago, and you know what?

One week from today there will be polls showing the standings nearly unchanged AND fundraising for Cain UP (when we get money reports – which don’t have to be filed until the end of the quarter, but I’ll bet we get some anecdotal / tangential testimony to that effect).

Remember where you read it first 😉

BTW:  It’s a family joke that my husband makes a lousy philanderer because the first thing he does is talk about his wife.  He’ll be alone at a bar out on the road having dinner or something and that’s the first thing he’ll do!  (Being a salesman, he’ll talk to a post, anyone who will stand still long enough to listen!  Happily, he’s charming!) But it’s funny that Herman Cain’s big deal involves him remarking on the height of the woman in question – by comparing it to his wife’s!

*Remember, so far we have a girl who was ‘offended’ by ‘non-sexual’ ‘gestures’ and got a fly-swatter of a payment of ‘five figures’ which means, I am betting, she was an uptight, angry, humorless b*tch looking for a payout, made a fuss, and got a quick $10-$50k to please just shut the f*ck up and go away… I mean, please!  Who among us has not worked with someone, more than one someone, like this!  There have been zero allegations of any sexual touching or private parts being exposed or threats to do something or else… None of that – which would, in my mind, constitute an authentic charge which should be taken very seriously, indeed.  And let me be clear – if Herman did any of that – My bad, we’re done, my support for him is over, but I’d bet my house he didn’t.  There’s nothing in his history, story, behavior, testimony from long-time colleagues, that would indicate that kind of evil exists in him.  Okay?

Mika Fomenting Greed Violence

 Morning’s Joe’s opening segment thus far, 6:09am Eastern is not only wrong, but DANGEROUS.

The rich getting richer, ‘the wealth gap’, is a DANGEROUS CANARD.

The richer getting richer being institutionalized as a ‘problem’ foments a kind of ‘take it’ envy DANGEROUS in a crowd.

Lucky for us, such crowds are few.  Whah?  OWS everywhere?  ’Eat the rich’ signs everywhere?

Oh.

I’m not suggesting we should curtail their speech a syllable, but let me prove my point that ‘all boats rise’ as the President says (Even though he doesn’t have a clue what that phrase really means.). Actually, just to really drive the point home, we’ll open with what happens when a boat sinks and brings everyone down with it:

1. DETROIT.  

When the mob forces the issue to get their ‘fair share,’ you get Detroit.  Or put another way, when you ‘steal’ from the rich to artificially prop up the wages of the ‘poor’ the rich LEAVE.  And take their money with them.  Unions wage thuggery & other Democratic favorite policies KILLED the Motor CIty and EVERYBODY HONEST KNOW IT.  It’s a ‘shining’ example of 50+ years of nearly 100% Democrat rule in action.

2. BILL GATES

Bill Gates being insanely wealthy, helps or hurts Redmond Washington & its suburbs full of contractors, dry cleaners, small biz owners…?  Never mind Microsoft’s employees, and their houses, and economic activity.

Hmm?

If he left, what would happen to their economy?

Let me help you.  It’s sort of a trick question.  

Q: What would happen if Bill Gates left Redmond, Washington?

A: It would become DETROIT!

What do these OWS & New World Order babies like lil’ Mika think the rich will do once the angry mob shows up for their ‘fair share’?  Hmm?

Maybe we should take Mika’s own father’s suggestion and get the addresses & charitable giving records of all the rich so we can mob their homes if we, as a mob, adjudge they are ‘selfish’… 

How much did you give to The Home for Little Wanderers last year, Mika?  Wounded Warriors?

Hmmm?

Would you like the MOB on YOUR LAWN?  Scaring your two teenage daughters like they did to that bank executive’s 13 year old son, home alone in Maryland last year when 300 SEIU thugs mobbed his lawn?

On Foreign Policy "Judgement" Obama Wins? Uh-NO

by Annie | Leave a comment

 If it weren’t so sad, it would be funny.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe opened this morning taking broad swipes at the GOP field for being foreign-policy-feckless, and furthering their point by insisting that we must have sound foreign policy judgement in the next President – like Obama’s… 

Got that?  Obama’s foreign policy judgement is sound.  Okay?  Now, let’s remember:

In a 2002 Chicago speech – organized, by the way, by his radical friends Marilyn Katz, Bernadine Dohrn, & Bill Ayers – Obama called Iraq the ‘dumb’ war and Afghanistan the ‘good’ war.  Bam-Bam’s been dining out on that speech as the shining jewel of his FP chops ever since.  Over the weekend we learn, that this GENIUS-of-Foreign-Policy-Judgement has led us to the following:

1. IRAQ: OBAMA’s cynically political decision to have the Iraqi troops 100% home for Christmas will likely result in the worst kind of back-sliding, VERY likely redounding to the benefit of IRAN.  Even lefty analyists say so.  Result?  Yet another enemy of Israel emboldened THANKS TO OBAMA.

2. AFGHANISTAN: Hamid Karzai just told the world that Afghanistan will choose Pakistan as their ally AGAINST the United States should there be a need to pick sides.  Doesn’t matter, frankly, why or when we have to pick sides.  The guy we spent 10 years trying to help in the war Obama APPROVED of, HATES US – LETHALLY.  Not just diplomatic hate.  Take up arms and KILL YOU hate.

So! Obama was 180 degrees WRONG about BOTH of the big ticket wars we have on the ground he’s been PREENING he’s been so RIGHT about since 2002.

There’s nothing Herman Cain lacks in judgement, as a man, as a leader, to make SOUND Foreign Policy judgement that he can’t learn in a briefing book.  

Obama’s problem is EXACTLY the OPPOSITE:  There aren’t enough briefing books in the world to help him – he’s too arrogant, too prison-bound in his ideology.

Sorry, Mika.

And do we even need to pick the scab of how he’s directly treated England?  Or Israel? When you consider that England & Israel have traditionally been America’s strongest and most important allies, and the unutterably shabby way he has treated them – IT’S LAUGHABLE that Obama’s FP judgement is admirable.

Laughable… Until you cry.

Ed Schultz, Laura Ingraham & Morning Joe Irony

*snort*

The irony is lost on everyone.

There’s Mika Brzezinski, pitching her little book (God love her, really. She manages to stay employed & stay published despite having very little to offer intellectually) called Knowing Your Value (or something very close to that) a tome no doubt oozing with woman-power-affirming-estrogen. Taken on it’s face, it’s a very good thing for the sisterhood. So far all the talk this morning is knowing how to negotiate the terms of your employment with men. I will touch on that important topic before I get to what they haven’t talked about.

Having spent 20 years on the air in major market radio and having negotiated every single one of my contracts by myself, I recall the circumstances of my second to last one – while 6 months pregnant with my first child. I sat across the table with a man who shaved his favorite hockey team logo into the hair on his back. I swear to you I am not making that up. So, I know a little something about staring down testosterone. That negotiation produced my third 33% raise in a row. It helps when you have actual ratings – I was #1 pm drive in what was, at the time, the 4th largest media market in the country. That led to an offer some years later in which I negotiated – in addition to salary – airfare & hotel for my family for an annual vacation. All of this was based on my track record of ratings, performance, & being a solid employee – but most importantly – ratings.

Perhaps sh*tty ratings is what’s given Mika so much trouble in her negotiations, but I digress…

Not a single person on the KNOW, LOVE, & VALUE your ESTROGEN panel this morning took their colleague to task for being a misogynistic pig.

If they had any stones, class, or integrity at all – any of them – they would have talked about Ed Schultz calling Laura Ingraham a slut – not once, but twice yesterday.

They should have, if they meant a syllable of what they said, encouraged their employer TO PROTECT THEIR INTEGRITY AS EMPLOYEES OF THE BRAND AND FIRE THE BASTARD.

I’m all for free speech. If this were a first offense, I would accept his apology, endorse his suspension and leave it alone. But this is not the first time he has been utterly, unforgivably abusive of the privilege he has been given by having a broadcast platform. Please note the distinction between the constitutionally protected right of free speech & the privilege of a corporation providing a platform to use it.

The first amendment protects your right to speak, but it does not protect your right to be heard.

Mika Gets to Be Smartest One in the Room

This is priceless. Morning Joe guest, liberal Joan Walsh, evidently having a senior moment & forgetting what all the lights & cameras are doing around her, wonders aloud who speaks for the left “like Rush,” and co-host Mika, who daily supports the network’s demonstrable lefty cheerleading (GE’s CEO Jeffrey Immelt, which owns NBC/MSNBC is a White House advisor to the President & would assert, I’m sure that GE’s ZERO tax bill for 2009 is purely co-incidental) knows the answer but for obvious reasons cannot admit it publicly: MSNBC, you dope! – LOL
