Mika, co-host of MSNBC's Morning Joe, is obsessed with Sarah Palin. I thought Scarborough and Buchanon were bad. Ever since McCain announced her as his running mate, Mika has joined in the drooling of this unqualified candidate. Defending her in every way possible. Ignoring any sense of reality. Claiming she's an icon for all women. And now, once again, defending her against this latest news that despite Sarah Palin and the McCain camp's to portray themselves as "Joe Sixpacks", the campaign spent more on her clothes than "Joe and Joanne Sixpacks" make in a year.
I've written several times to MSNBC and blogged out my frustration about Mika many times. Her behavior on the show is embarassing. She's often come across as a complete air-head! Flirtatious, robotic (mimicking talking points of host Joe Scarborough), and often unintelligent. (This sounds alot like Sarah Palin--maybe that's why Mika views her as an "icon").
When the show was flooded with angry emails this morning (some of which were read on the air), Mika was thrown into a corner trying to defend her comments. "Well how much does Barack Obama spend on his suits?", she proclaimed.
Well Mika, problem is, Barack hasn't been the one trying to exploit the lives of Americans who are struggling out there. Barack hasn't been the one charging that others were "elite". Barack is not the hypocrite hear...Sarah Palin and John McCain are!
Mika, there's no defense here. None. And you should be absolutely embarassed for even trying.
Wake up Mika...in your efforts to please Joe Scab by echoing his nonsense, you isolate yourself further and further from reality that the rest of your viewers are living in.
