What does it say about Hillary Clinton that her campaign feels the need to artificially create supposedly real, authentic moments for her?
On today's Morning Joe, Kasie Hunt observed that in this election cycle, "the demand seems to be for raw, unfiltered, real type of moments. I think that they're [the Hillary campaign] trying very hard to create that with her." Jon Meacham--seeing the…
How can Judd Apatrow, a guy once ranked the smartest guy in Hollywood be so . . . ? Appearing on today's With All Due Respect, big comedy macher Apatrow [credits include Exec. Producer of Lena Dunham's Girls] condemned money in politics, saying it was "ridiculous that anyone thinks that rich people care about other people. When the Koch brothers give a billion dollars, it is not out of a great…
Think of Hillary Clinton. Now think of the first 100 things that come to mind. Is "change" one of them? It is for Howard Dean, and Bill Kristol found that hilarious. On today's Morning Joe, explaining his early endorsement of Hillary, Dean claimed that "Hillary Clinton is change." That was enough to provoke hearty laughter in the normally-composed Kristol.
Kristol, manifestly in a jocular…

Talk about killing the messenger . . . Mike Barnicle has blamed the New York Post for the fact that New York City has become less safe under Mayor Bill de Blasio.
On today's Morning Joe, Barnicle--holding up the front page of today's Post--whined that part of the problem is "the way crime is now covered in this city--especially in this paper, okay? If someone is shot in Times Square, or a guy…
Apples and oranges: or shall we say, Harleys and Abrams.
On this evening's Ed Show, guest John Nichols of the far-left Nation mag and guest host Michael Eric Dyson lamely tried to analogize Scott Walker riding a Harley to the infamous episode of Michael Dukakis in a tank. The difference? Walker is a for-real biker and Harley owner. Dukakis did serve two years in the Army, but there's no…
On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough twice refers to "cable news" fearmongering the issue of supposed voter suppression to drive ratings.
Mika Brzezinski apparently thinks that when it comes to discussing Bill and Hillary Clinton—those paragons of integrity—certain subjects should be taboo.
On today's Morning Joe, Mika took umbrage that about-to-announce Bobby Jindal dared mention that Bill had lied about Monica Lewinsky. Mika was miffed that Jindal thought it was "blase" to bring up Monica. She later called the Lousiana governor…
