No Joe today so far, I’m very disappointed, I’d like better than Pat defending Rush this morning. I was looking forward to today.

6:03 a.m.The weatherman tweaks them “You’re not the first show of the day” He likely has been busy.

6:07 a.m. Andy Serwer: “It’s true that its never worked but…” He conveniently forgets that Rush was against Tarp #1 as well.

6:08 a.m. Could Joe be gone so he doesn’t have to comment on Rush and then run in Florida?

6:12 a.m. I wonder if they will touch on anything else Rush said. Mika talks temperament and tone. I guess substance is an optional extra.

6:14 a.m. I notice not a single republican on the list of guests on a day they will talk about Rush.

6:20 a.m. Are we going in a direction where we don’t want to go? asks Mika Serwer agrees that might be the case, Gee what famous public figure suggested that two days ago?

6:32 a.m. More snow angels and I have the times right now.

6:36 a.m. Is it “becoming” a bad word? When has socialism been good?

6:58 a.m. Hey lets make fun of the clean cut kid who defined Conservatism. He must get beaten up etc etc etc. Mika is laughing along on that. They aren’t even trying today.

7:00 a.m. I’ll give it another hour, today this looks like just another MSNBC show. I might not last that long.

7:07 a.m. It would be interesting to see if they are willing to quote any other part of his 80 min speech.

7:09 a.m. It’s all about how dare he says it this way, all about temperament, not about substance. I don’t think I’m going to make it to 7:30.

7:12 a.m. Pat stands alone.

7:15 a.m. Huckabee’s MSBS line is looking pretty solid this morning.

7:17 a.m. I don’t hear Mika talking about her crush on Rush today.

7:28 a.m. And of course with Pat we don’t know Iran is building a bomb.

7:41 a.m. Todd reminds them of 1994, they still won’t touch any other part of his speech.

7:44 a.m. Was this an 80 min or a 60 second speech.

7:53 a.m. Radio is a dying medium? Mika will be pleased to hear that. Tell me who has more ears listening to him Limbaugh or Todd?

8:12 a.m. Hunt is right about one thing, Obama will never get the leeway he is getting now so he is making the most of it.

A lot of Palin bling from CPAC:

6:07 a.m. How dare we not totally cut and run, democrats are outraged.

6:09 a.m Joe nails it, politically the far left in congress isn’t hurt if Iraq fails, but Obama pays for it.

6:20 a.m. Here are the few newspapers we have left…

6:37 a.m. Good point by including Iraq in the budget then when it stops we have a “budget cut”.

6:41 a.m. Pat: “They’re grabbing everything they ever wanted and ramming it through.” That is what is meant by not letting a crisis going to waste.

6:44 a.m. By 2010 it will be throw the radicals out, but you have to have an alternative.

7:01 a.m. Mika was drinking with Kerry last night?

7:12 a.m. There were people who were warning about this, notice they use the example from the Clinton years and not the republican hearings during the Bush years.

7:17 a.m. Chuck Todd thinks the public doesn’t believe this stuff or even believed we had a surplus. He however also thinks its not a voting issue.

7:50 a.m. Romney at Morning Joe, can he see the Palin buttons on Mika?

7:55 a.m. Bad assets would have gone into a co-op says Romney.

8:04 a.m. Apparently Tina Brown says we republicans are on a Holy Jihad. I thought our friends on the left say jihad means struggle?

8:10 a.m. So much for $5000 for a charity table

8:15 a.m. Rush is a blowhard, sayeth Tina Brown; I wonder if you compare what ratings Brown brings to Joe to what a 5 min interview with Rush would do for the ratings? You know taking Rush out of context is a religion at MSNBC.

8:25 a.m. A question on the nation of Georgia to the Polish Ambassador.

8:27 a.m. He thinks the Soviets would have won if it wasn’t for the US in Afghanistan. The Beheaded polish hostage is mentioned.

8:29 a.m. Hey he has the number of the Polish Paris Hilton!

8:39 a.m. Lets invest! Tax is invest I hate playing with words.

8:46 a.m. I loved the Bush visit to the hardware store.

Morning Joe Messy eaters

6:05 a.m. The day starts with Mika scolding Willie for gum and Joe slurping Starbucks. Where is Barnicle standing up for Dunkin Donuts?

6:09 a.m. Not funding White Collar investigations is like only taking care of victims after 9/11 says money party.

6:11 a.m. Joe is afraid that Trillions upon Trillions is nasty when you are saying you are making government smaller. Pat calls him Lyndon Baines Obama.

6:13 a.m. Pat says they are making new baselines that will never be rolled back.

6:15 a.m. Well they aren’t finding late night Obama jokes yet.

6:21 a.m. Joe notices that the cut of farm subsidies will hit a lot of redder states.

6:32 a.m. Hey how about that North Korea, Iran and Pakistan are all doing nastier things now that Bush is gone. Mika spins it that Joe Biden is right.

6:38 a.m. Money Party: We are creating a giant airbag to falsely re-inflate a bubble.

6:41 a.m. Nobody wants to raise taxes but we should do it anyway to cut the deficit that we are now creating.

7:00 a.m. Willie just told the story of the $1mil offer to the Octo-mom if she does a porn film, Joe can’t stop laughing.

7:04 a.m. Mika loves Rush?

7:12 a.m. Joe doesn’t mind if Obama wants to be a liberal but he doesn’t want him to say one thing and do another. Doesn’t he realize that this was the whole basis of his campaign.

7:15 a.m. The style vs substance argument comes up again. Matlin states Jindal’s record.

7:34 a.m. I haven’t heard the terms Goo Goo’s for years.

7:45 a.m Mika: “Taser him.”

7:56 a.m. Did Joe just bring up Obama appointments and Jewish relations? Andrea “Sgt. Schultz” Mitchel poo poos it.

8:17 a.m. We are like a bunch of Adlai Stevenson’s waiting for someone to fix their TV, if someone can run in 2012 saying “I can Fix this, they can beat Obama.” says Matthews

8:24 a.m. I’m glad I wasn’t drinking when Hoyer said democrats don’t want money to go to people who will waste it.

8:29 a.m. There are not 9000 earmarks, there are only 4000 says Hoyer. Oh that’s different.

Morning Joe: show me the money!

Looks like its a question of paying for things

6:40 a.m. Joe compares the spending to Heroin addicts giving people everything they want.

6:42 a.m. I missed the Obama side, so now we have Jindal, what will they say.

6:43 a.m. Barnicle not withstanding he didn’t sound far right to me.

6:46 a.m. The Globe is speaking nonsense and Joe is not taking it. There wasn’t much of a conservative candidate for president.

7:00 a.m. Apparently according to the polls saying that you will do one thing when doing the exact opposite does well in the polls. National Review had the best line:

Oratorywise, so good. Ideawise, so weak. Combination, so dangerous.

7:05 a.m. No wrongdoing but implication of wrongdoing on Palin well that’s news

7:07 a.m. Joe: Hillary was hot last night.

7:08 a.m. Do you really want to say you’ve got that “twittering thing” after just saying that Hillary is hot?

7:10 a.m. Steele is echoing Joe on spending smart move. If the primary voice is there then it is there the RNC will honor that.

7:12 a.m. The 12 step recovery for the party is to admit that we spent like drunken sailors. FYI Mr. Steele we republicans will hold you to that if you go back in.

7:14 a.m. The people will be the final choice, what is the Republican plan? In fact we DO have a plan they were rejected by the democrats. Building schools is nice but it doesn’t help small business or any blue collar worker not in construction.

7:28 a.m. It still sounds like he was on the campaign trail

7:38 a.m. How about that Buchanan DID swim in that pool

7:40 a.m. So I’m not the only one who things that Gibbs seems a bit over his head.

7:44 a.m. Jean said the speech is hopeful but will the banks help him out. Susie’s driver has the word, but it didn’t have the info they needed.

7:48 a.m. Would you think the president of Telemundo would be named Don Brown?

7:58 a.m. They talk census and he is right it is a big issue.

8:02 a.m. The hope is nice but there are no details says Susie, they’d better keep her off the MSNBC evening shows.

8:05 a.m. When Mika keeps pushing Pat’s book claiming that WW II was unnecessary and going after Churchill she is very much her father’s daughter.

8:08 a.m. Mika will be doing the old Dean Martin skits on the Vegas strip when she retires.

8:12 a.m. Maxine Waters doesn’t say we aren’t going to nationalize the banks, just that we aren’t there yet. As far as the planes go, she hasn’t read Dilbert today.

8:14 a.m. That is a really bad wig that waters has, unless I’m very much mistaken. If I’m wrong about the wig part I apologize in advance.

8:21 a.m. The country wants Daddy says Klein but he had to pause and think when before he said that the republicans were making a mistake.

8:22 a.m. You may think that cutting taxes in wartime is bad but cutting the military during wartime is worse.

8:24 a.m. Is this going to be like Korea? I see no reason why that would be a problem if it was.

8:31 a.m. There were details says Erin? Will he do the things he said?

8:42 a.m. Shelby has no debt.

8:48 a.m. Boxer: If he laid out the details it would have been boring. I actually think she is right, this wasn’t the time for details in a speech, I just wish he wasn’t saying one thing and doing another.

8:52 a.m. Mika apparently sounds ideological because she objects to throwing money at a problem, hey this is MSNBC I’m a liberal democrat I’m not supposed to get tough questions! Don’t you know who I am?
