The blog brought to you by Orville Redenbacher . . . One short segment on today's With All Due Respect packed plenty of explosive commentary. There was John Heilemann saying that Al Gore "hates" Hillary and that if he gets in the race would be a "huge" problem for her. Lending credence to Heilemann's "hates" claim is the fact that he mentioned having "spent a lot of time" with Gore in 2006. …
Was our restaurant table bugged? Last night over date-night dinner, my wife, a perspicacious observer of the political scene and, yes, a Bernie backer, said she sensed that Hillary's moment had passed and that people were tired of her.
Cut to today's Morning Joe, and there were Donny Deutsch, Joe Scarborough and a reluctant Mika Brzezinski saying much the same thing: that powerful, influential…
Partisanship oozing out of Howard Dean's wherever! On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski, exasperated by Howard Dean's dead-ender defense of Hlllary on the email scandal, told him "your partisan whatever is just oozing."
Dean continued to insist that the email scandal is just "hooey" and that he wouldn't have had a problem if Cheney, Wolfowitz or Rumsfeld had used a private email system as…
Well, she did stop short of saying Chuck Schumer was worried about losing donations from co-religionist contributors . . . But on today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinksi accused Schumer of acting out of politics in his opposition to the Iran deal.
Battling with Bill Kristol, an unusually animated Brzezinski broke out the over-the-top adjectives, branding opposition to the deal "ludicrous," "crazy"…
In the liberal universe, there's no correlation between hard work or ingenuity and financial success. As President Obama recently put it, the rich are simply "society's lottery winners."
Sounding a similar theme, Al Sharpton today declared it "astounding" that Rand Paul believes that income inequality is due to "some people working harder." Astounding, indeed! What's wrong with Rand? How…
Joe Scarborough began with a telling admission: that if he were running the Republican party, he wouldn't let MSNBC host a GOP debate.
But the Morning Joe host went on to make an interesting point: that if MSNBC or another MSM network had hit Donald Trump with the same sort of gotcha questions that Fox News did during this past Thursday night's debate, the reaction from conservatives would be…
If a woman announced on live national TV that she had shoplifted an iPhone, there'd presumably be a cop at the studio door to greet her. So why is it that someone can blithely announce on national TV that she's in the country illegally, and far from fearing any repercussions, have her views on the American presidential election respectfully solicited?
It happened this morning, when MSNBC…
On today's Moning Joe, when Josh Earnest said that President Obama believes that picking Biden as his VP was the "smartest decision he ever made in politics," Joe Scarborough made the mischievous-but-logical point that Obama must thus believe that picking Biden was smarter than picking Hillary as his Secretary of State. Though Mika interrupted to say that's not what he meant, Earnest never said…
Joe Scarborough chose to couch his criticism with in exculpating explanation, claiming that reporters "try to be as fair as possible" and that their bias is "unintended." But his bottom line was still this: that media bias is at its worst when it comes to the issue of abortion.
Speaking on today's Morning Joe, Scarborough took his critique a significant step further, asserting that if a…
