Morning Intern Killer Joe is having a pissy Paul Ryan-gasm Joan Crawford no wire hangers MELTDOWN

"Ryan was in the MIDDLE OF THE ACTION since he was 22! He's MORE experienced than Obama was when he ran for President!"

He's jumping all over Harold Ford's ASS.

"HE'S MORE READY TO BE PRESIDENT THAN OBAMA WAS!"

She grimaced, referenced someone who had given her a hard time but denied it was her father.... I hate all this cliquey little inside baseball they so love to engage in...

Speaking out against the Obama team. She was used, as have several commentators in the last few weeks. Romney loves to use authority figures like Joe and Mika.

That's she is touted as the liberal on the show is total BS. It's an act. Just watch her defense of Chris Christie later in the show and you'll see she's very conservative.

Every time I see that video of him bullying his constituent, "Gail"... I absolutely cringe. I think, perhaps, it says something about Mika's psyche (and past) that she respects this grotesque behavior.

What was THAT all about? Mika was downright incoherent today. She seemed delighted by Christie's mean streak.

It was enough to make me change the channel. Mika and Scarborogh were HAMMERING Eugene Robinson over the Christie pick and she was using Scarborough's bullying tactics. This was probably their most grating, annoying show to date.

what a wimp, he couldn't get a thought (if he had any) out. The best was when Joe said Rev. Al thought it would be great, misunderstanding that it would be great for the dems.

Even Mika was talking about how Christy would "energize" Romney's campaign.
So, I guess those 2 think that Romney's campaign isn't very energetic, huh?
Gee, I wonder why.
It's like watching a funeral procession head towards the cemetary in slow-motion.
But, that's the same kind of crummy crap that McCain had going on 4 years ago, too.
So, I don't know what they expect assklowns like Romney to do.

What really sucks about Joe's program, is Joe.
All of the crap falling out of Joe's mouth, like he "knows" politics.
He is so frickin' arrogant when he talks, it isn't even funny.
He sucks worse now than he did when he was in Congress.
And he already sucked pretty damned bad back then.

He said that "at this point we can't say it's early any more..."

When that reality sank in he started yelling. Did you notice how Donny and Ed looked embarrassed? Harold could not get a complete sentence out of his mouth without Joe interrupting him. I don't think I've ever seen Joe acting so badly.

Loudmouthed jerk.

Somehow, I think not. If it had been Romney, they would have been planning his inauguration.

Starting out the day irritated wasn't working for me. Mika is a total corporate tool. You know Joe's an asshole, but she has become a sieve, which made the show unwatchable for me.

I do enjoy the reports of Joe's increasing irrationality. He pretends to be a sensible Republican, but he's nothing but an angry, adolescent and, when it comes to Obama, jealous wingnut.

I can think of several Congress people that have been in Washington a long time and aren't really qualified to be dogcatcher. The Presidency requires leadership, not seniority.
