On Morning Joe this morning John Meacham talked about the Newsweek reporter who has been held in Iran for several months.

He is of course correct to be upset about this and lambasting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the irony of him coming to the UN to freely speak when a reporter can’t freely report a presidential election.

During the discussion it was pointed out that Iran is developing Nukes and as I watch I couldn’t believe it. Didn’t the senior editor of Newsweek Michael Hirsh say that lumping Iran into the axis of evil was “devastatingly stupid?

Amazing the perception difference when George Bush is not in the White House.

This morning on Morning Joe they are covering editorials. They mentioned briefly that Sarah Palin wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal today, but “we aren’t reading that one” said Mika.

Instead the covered Bill Clinton’s advice for democrats and Maureen Dowd.

After all why would you be interested in what the single most popular figure in the opposition party, the one who single handedly caused the “dare I say it death panel” language to be pulled from the Senate version of the bill.

Morning Joe has can’t get over the idea the Mrs. Palin stands behind her use of the phrase “death panel” even backing it up in written testimony to the New York State Aging committee.

When Mrs. Palin talks it is news, whether the Morning Joe crew in particular or MSNBC like it or not.

Update: But the opinion of very far left Kathleen Vanden Heuvel of the Nation is not only worth covering but worth having on to discuss things. Makes sense she is MUCH more relevant than what Sarah Palin thinks right?

Update 2: Maybe in deference to Marc Ambinder et/al we should refer to her as “She who must not be reported.”

…ha ha ah aha ha ha. Deep breath:

Some major donors and GOP strategists have approached Joe Scarborough, the host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” about a national run, according to party sources.

Are these the same guys who told us that Tom Ridge was a leader?

ha ha AH ha ha ah ah ha ha ha

This deserves both an HA HA

and a YOU FOOL!

Clue to the clueless. Anybody pushing Joe Scarborough over Sarah Palin isn’t out to help republicans win anything.

Update: Yeah they talk about Petraeus too but with the space they give Joe it’s still a large laugh.

Today on Morning Joe Mika is the focus of attention and not just because she seems to be wearing and evening dress that is really attractive on her.

First she continued to stress the contractor story with unabashed irony. I just cant get over the comparison with this and last week.

Secondly they are hitting Chris Brown again the irony meter is just ready to burst.

Mika however is also shining in two ways today; on the Chris Brown story she pointed out the danger of the woman deciding to take him back, it is something that should be said and I’m glad she said it.

She is said she wants to skip the Levi Johnson nonsense and instead talk about the Chuck Hagel and his Afghanistan opinions. I likely won’t agree with them but they are likely much more relevant than Johnson’s tripe. Shades of her famous Paris Hilton moment. Whatever you may think on the war it is definitely a more newsworthy topic.

And By God she DID skip him and the team backed her up. Every time they drive me nuts they do something like this to remind me why I liked them so much.

And did anyone notice that she went straight to the Chappaquiddick stuff from the Afghanistan “party boys” story this morning? I don’t think that was an accident.

Could she be doing this on purpose? She is a lot more than just a handsome woman.

Update: What hath Mika wrought? MSNBC other guys don’t seem to like Johnston either. If we get to Matthews, Maddow and old Olby and they don’t pick up the slack then his 15 min will be up for good.
