Sunday Morning Coming Down in New Hampshire ‘Meet the Depressed’ Debate

HOLLIS, N.H. After my late night guzzling beer consulting with key sources at the Radisson Hotel bar last night, I slept in this morning at the home of Mike Rogers of Granite Grok, missing the “Meet the Press” debate. Mike’s got it TiVo’d for my later examination, but initial accounts indicate it was far more [...]

MSNBC has in recent weeks become the daily venue for one of the most bizarre reality shows on cable TV: Morning Bromance, starring Joe Scarborough as a man helplessly smitten with “Republican presidential candidate” Jon Huntsman. When he isn’t blowing air-kisses at Huntsman, Scarborough is citing every possible media blurb about Huntsman as ratification of the former Utah [...]

Mika’s Not the Scariest Brzezinski

When I previously explained that Mika Brzezinski is smarter than you, a commenter called to my attention a video clip from Oct. 17. It’s of Mika’s father, Zbiginew Brzezinski, former national security adviser to Jimmy Carter, in an appearance on Morning Joe: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy “You [...]

Mika Brzezinski Is Smarter Than You

Watching Fox News makes people stupid, according to experts at Fairleigh Dickinson University. And if you watch Fox, you’re obviously too stupid to argue with experts so . . . the science is settled! Of course, the lead author of the study was kind enough to include his phone number on the press release, so [...]

I Watch MSNBC So You Don’t Have To: S.E. Cupp Nerd Glasses Edition

Watching MSNBC is not an experience I would recommend to any conservative whose mind isn’t fire-hardened against liberal nonsense. Only those who’ve long since passed the point of “epistemic closure” could withstand hour after hour of this stuff without either (a) permitting themselves to be convinced that Jon Huntsman is a plausible Republican presidential candidate, or [...]

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts said the title quote while discussing President Obama’s speech yesterday: Sister Toldjah is livid: This, of course, is how the debate on taxes, the deficit, the economy, etc will be framed from here on out – all the way up until the November 2012 elections, all in a repeat effort by [...]

‘Let’s Face It, the Color of His Skin’

MSNBC’s Richard Wolffe explains why you hate Obama: “What is it about this President that has stripped away the veneer of respect that normally accompanies the office of the president? Why do Republicans think that this president is unpresidential and shouldn’t dare to request this kind of thing? . . . It strikes me that [...]

‘Ed Schultz With a Smaller Rack’

The title quote is how Ace of Spades describes Contessa Brewer, whose eight-year career at MSNBC has come to an inglorious end. Ace reminds us of one of her highlights: BREWER: “Joining me now to talk about this and the nation’s real problem of joblessness, the Reverend Al Sharpton.
