‘This White House Has No Humility’

When candidate Obama talked about bringing us all together, this is presumably not what he had in mind . . .
There was surprising consensus on today’s Morning Joe around the fact that this is an arrogant White House.  It was press secretary Robert Gibb’s boast—responding to Pres. Bush’s rather mild recent remarks—that “we kept score [...]

Barnicle: Conservative Talk Radio To Blame For Liberal Media Bias

Rush made them do it!
In one of the more absurd, if creative, defenses of the MSM yet, Mike Barnicle has blamed the media’s liberal bias on its reaction to “talk radio.”
Morning Joe actually got off to a refreshing start today, with Mika Brzezinski frankly acknowledging that the MSM leans heavily left, that she herself tends [...]

‘Narrative’ Meant Nuthin When Nominees Weren’t Liberals

Between now and the final confirmation vote, how many times will we hear of Sonia Sotomayor’s “moving personal narrative”?  But as Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough and Ann Coulter pointed out this morning, touching personal tales meant nada to Dems when the minority judicial nominee wasn’t a liberal.
Clarence Thomas and Miguel Estrada each had moving stories [...]

Mika Mocks Mike Allen’s Obama-Love

Is a new Mika Brzezinski emerging: a more fair-’n-balanced one?  Signs point to yes.
Yesterday on Morning Joe, as noted here, Joe Scarborough described the members of the White House press corps as being “in love” with Pres. Obama to the extent that at the big dinner this past Saturday night that PBO attended, they were [...]

‘Like Teenage Girls At A Bay City Rollers Concert’

On Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough nailed the Washington press corps for its sycophantish performance at the White House Correspondents Association dinner this past Saturday night: “like a bunch of teenage girls waiting for a Bay City Rollers concert, waiting to scream at the top of their [lungs].”

Mika Brzezinski, agreeing with Joe, lifted the veil [...]

Scarborough Slams Shows Like Hardball: Guests ‘Vomit Bad Info, Get Cheered’

Oh to be a fly on the NBC cafeteria wall next time Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews run into each other.  On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough singled out Hardball as an example of the cable shows he doesn’t watch because their guests “vomit bad information” for which they’re cheered.
Scarborough slammed Bob Baer, a former CIA [...]

Jack Welch: Obama’s Lack of Focus ‘Crazy’ But Criticism Makes You ‘Pariah’

Good thing Jack Welch criticized Barack Obama on national TV and not at a toney New York party: he might never have been invited to sip Cosmos with the cocktail set again . . .
Appearing on Morning Joe today, the former GE CEO lambasted Pres. Obama’s lack of focus, calling it “crazy.”  But he observed [...]

Scarborough On Steele: ‘Sometimes Being Black Isn’t Enough’

Joe Scarborough has joined a chorus of Republicans wondering whether Michael Steele is cutting it as RNC Chairman . . .
Scarborough’s comment was spurred by a clip from Sean Hannity’s show in which Steele claimed that when on CNN he called Rush Limbaugh “incendiary” and “ugly,” he didn’t mean to criticize him but was merely [...]

Latest Member Of Team Sarah: Mika!

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was done ever-so-slightly tongue in cheek.  But there was Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe today, sporting a Team Sarah button and identifying herself as a proud Palinite. Joe Scarborough spoke at CPAC yesterday, and Mika accompanied him, stopping by the Team Sarah booth along [...]

Morning Joe Muzzles Outing Of MSNBC As In-Tank For Obama

Irony watch: the day before Morning Joe is about to enjoy the rare privilege of broadcasting its entire MSNBC show live from the White House, Joe Scarborough muzzled a pro-Palin film-maker who was about to out . . . MSNBC as the most pro-Obama network.
John Ziegler appeared on Morning Joe today to tout his about-to-be-released [...]
