Mika B. was unbearable today.

When Clinton's spokesperson explained everything to her re the Clinton Foundation she made a face and essentially got snarky. She and Joe are convinced that any donation to the Clinton Foundation just has to be a quid pro quo to influence official U.S. foreign policy.

I can't see it. Am I missing something here? Or is this just a "hail mary" pass to save the republican party?

Is she trying to play an investigatory journalist? Is it because she is sleeping with Joe? She still calls herself a Democrat and she's neck deep in this stuff?

an affair. This is going to come out regardless. She knows it. I'd like to know how her daughters feel about her breaking up her marriage with their father because she was sneaking around with Joe.

Her father Zbigniew must be so ashamed of her.

media outlet of being biased towards the left and they become obsessed--overcompensating to the nth degree-- with proving them wrong. In her case, I'd say whatever the relationship with asshole Joe may be, she feels even more compelled to "disprove" that she is a Democrat. That she may also have her perssonal insecurities heightened by issues specific to HRC, feeding a good bit of jealousy or similar, also is likely at play. And, yes, I do feel that she is further compromising herself out of fear of being a TRUMP target.

Infuriating...

Then Joe went on a lunatic rage about how "elementary school" (or was it middle school?) the comment was. In Joe's mind the statement was "end CGI and people will die of AIDS". It was nothing like that.

Maybe Trump is right when he says she's a "mess."

THEY have a major optics problem.

They've been lying about Hillary for so long and throwing mud at the Foundation to obscure it so people won't associate Hillary with anything good, much less tremendously admirable. But now the reality of the Clinton Foundation is threatening to severely undermine their lying theme.

They were also whining again, attempting to dispute the charge about them being shills for Trump, and aired a clip that allegedly "proved" that they were tough on him. Give me a break.

I was actually embarrassed for her when she was trying to conduct that "hard-hitting interview about the emails. Sad.

In truth, tho, she hears it from some other people and gets all hurt looking like a sad puppy. And Joe thinks he's a hero for sticking up for her when he actually looks like a bigmouthed jerk.

Mika looks like an exotic dancer trying to score some bikini dollars later in her 'performance' and the asshat looks like he is guilty of killing a staffer in his office.

http://www.americanpolitics.com/20010808Klausutis.html

Over at The American Prospect's message board thread concerning this very article, Phoenix Woman has asked a trolling Scarborough "defender" three pivotal questions. We'd love to know the answers ourselves:

1) If Lori's death was just a simple accident, then why did Rep. Scarborough and his spokesman Miguel Serrano feel the need to go to two different local TV stations within three hours of her body's being found and invent a nonexistent history of chronic medical conditions for
her -- in other words, why did they feel the need to lie about Lori's health?

2) Would you trust without question the word of a Medical Examiner who lost his ME license in two separate states (Missouri and Florida) because he LIED about his autopsy work (for instance, saying he had autopsied some brains when he hadn't)?

3) Why should whoever wrote Ms. Klausutis's obituary feel it was appropriate to mention nearly everything about her life -- EXCEPT where she'd been working since 1999?


Never forget Joe. Never.

She has become so terrible, it is difficult to watch. Interrupts at inappropriate times, body language, under-the-breath mutterings. She should be let go, in my humble opinion.

I suspect all their regular guests know full well what's going on but have contract specifications about their regular appearances that forbid any discussion of the joe-mika relationship in public. Still, they seem to enjoy the sexual tension on the set and maybe it's why people tune in. Nobody invited on the show gives a shit because they've probably got something going on in their lives they would just as soon be private.

Now that Mika's "private" divorce has been revealed she probably thinks she has to be demure for her two daughters. but her daughters have to know. they aren't little kids.

what a mess...
