"Scott was in no mood for niceties. He had a bone to pick with Mika. “She makes me sick,” Scott seethed. “I just want to puke every time I listen to what she says.”"
(Well that makes two of us)"... the station’s conservative listeners were still trying to wrap their brains around Ms. Brzezinski’s slightly left-of-center political views."
("slightly left-of-center"?? lol!)"For any red-blooded conservative male, the first encounter with Ms. Brzezinski is bound to provoke curiosity; her mix of sex appeal and
brainpower and liberalism"

some of the comments are great
"My husband started exercising in the morning prior to his commute and came across this show. He usually has minimal opinions about programming - 'live and let live' and such - BUT he was absolutely disgusted with this train-wreck of a show. He honestly couldn't believe the crap spewing from "Joe" and thought Mika needed to slap his face (or worse). My husband refused to believe me when I told him "Joe" had been an US congressman. He had to confirm it on the internet using multiple sources. Quite the wake-up call for my husband about that sad state of affair we call congress. Hubby works at the same company as our state's US senator and really started to feel sorry for her--thinking there must be other dolts in the Senate with the same lack of ignorance daily displayed by "Joe"."
"I always thought it would be Joe, of the freakishly small mouth, that would eventually sour the "Morning Joe" program for me. He reminded me of that balloon-head sinus commercial and I figured it would only be a matter of time before he exploded and Willie "Hitler Youth" Geist would be allowed to leave the children's table. However, it was Mika, of the D.C. Celebrity B-List, whose tireless, catty ranting about Caroline Kennedy's senatorial ambition showed her true, country club powder-room colors and made me switch to penis enlargement infomercials for my boneheaded morning drivel. Yesterday, I was passing by MSNBC and thought I would watch and see whether Joe might be on another post-traumatic on-air incident "assignment" when I heard Mika pronounce that Alex Rodriquez was only admitting to steroid use to further his career and make some money. Now, I understand that the premise of the cable-television news model is similar to that of professional wrestling, full of simple-minded controversy and derision, but it's generally based on some working knowledge of current events and reality. Mike Barnicle is a respected journalist. Pat Buchanan is an authentic pundit. Mika is neither. She's the local TV weathergirl who fancies herself the next Barbara Walters, the Ivy League trust-fund baby with visions of personal grandeur. She's the Sarah Palin of the otherwise intellectual Brzezinski clan and if it wasn't for Contessa Brewer, the dullest knife in the MSNBC drawer."
