Has Mika stolen Stephanie Miller's "schtick"?

[CTyankee]

She and Joe were snickering over her vodka drinking habit this morning after a "sobering" story on women's risk of cancer even with moderate drinking.

Joe characterized her vodka habit as "Eastern European, hard core, put it in my IV" drinking and Mika giggled.

I thought "Of course! She thinks that Stephanie's banter about box wine could be adapted to her..." What a twit.

No, Mika, Stephanie has real comedic talent and you just look stupid...

1. They've been doing that Mika-on-vodka joke for a while, though.

I don't know that it's deliberately aping Miller. (And I say that as a big fan of her show.)

3. Yeah, I know but today it was a lot more obvious. And truly over the top.

I mean, right after a serious story relating to women's health.

Ya gotta wonder where their brains are. And what about Mika's dad? If I were her parent I would shudder with shame...

4. Santorum warned of Mika-on-vodka...

or was that man-on-dog?

2. Maybe meeka really does have a drinking problem

that would explain why she is so terrible at her job. It all makes sense now.

6. I think it's a put-on, designed to show she's "tough"

Dumb is more like it...

5. Joe, for some reason, thinks it is funny

it has been mentioned for some time.

7. Mika behaves like a boozer. She's lit up by the time MJ is over.

I can only imagine how drunk she must get every evening.

She behaves like one of those boozers who gets all her calories from booze and under eats because it will lessen her "high."
