This morning on Morning Joe ...

Kudlow was talking about his lastest interview with romney and provided a prescription for romney to follow. He said (something to the effect of) romney needs to emphasis his ability to reach compromises with disparate partisans on issues like he did on romneycare and the assault weapons ban when he was governor.

I was waiting for someone (Mika, I'm talking to you!) to say, "How would his deal-making abilities have worked out if one of the partisan sides had come out on Day 1 saying that they would not agree to anything that he put forward ... and then proved it by continually voting against everything that he put forward?"

Unfortunately, but predictably, I am still waiting.

But I guess they couldn't ask the question because it would open up the previously Morning Joe undiscussed topic of gop obstructionism.

Perhaps Mika doesn't know her worth as well as she thinks?

edited spelling and to add: She did sneak in a good snark @ Scar this morning, though. Something about fading off into oblivion, LOL!

I heard that.

But I was struck by how little respect the menfolk give to Mika ... they talk over her and seem to just generally discount her comments off-hand.

every single effing day, all male panels, or maybe one other female occasionally. This is why I love Up with Chris Hayes and MHP show on the weekends. They always have a lot of women on who are bright, knowledgeable and articulate.
