Mike Barnicle is kicking major ass on "Morning Joe." Anyone watching?

He's hitting the media on obsessing over polls, instead of issues. He's making our case for us. He's wholly unimpressed with the coverage.

"Cover Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Cover the unemployment numbers. Cover the news. Cover these suffering families. These polls are silly and they'll flip in a week. Is this your first campaign or something?"

You go, Barnicle. Keep it real, my friend.

1. Well, I'm glad he's having a lucid moment

Just the same, I'm no fan of Mike's.

3. I live in the moment. In this moment, he's kickin' some butt.

And Morning Joe is actually watchable without the Joe this morning. :-)

4. I don't buy that

He spent the first hour pushing Palin. The dude is stone cold for the Pukes.

6. I didn't see it that way at all.

In the 6:00 hour he responded to the polls by saying how stupid they are, how it's a bounce, how it's meaningless.

I run hot and cold with Barnicle, but are you watching the same show I am? I've never seen Buchanan so quiet.

7. No, I quit watching Morning Joke because of Scarborough and Buchanan.

If they're going to shill for the GOP, I'll just watch Fox News, where there is little pretense of being anything other than RNC lackeys. Joe tries to claim he's not simply an RNC lap dog, and I will not watch him or that Nazi gas bag, Pat Buchanan.

I'm watching CNN more these days, which still sucks.

8. No Joe on Morning Joe today, so it's semi-tolerable. Buchanan The Crypto-Facist is on, though.

So it kind of negates the effect. :-)

9. Buchanan needs to have his rep blown out of the water...

he IS a Nazi sympathizer and has been for years...he's a racist, homophobic, anti-Semite and Revisionist History "Scholar"/bullshit-artist.

10. GE TV is unwatchable anytime Pat 'KKK' Buchanan or Joe 'Dead Intern' Scarborough

is on. Racist, bigoted, sexist assholes.
