Jesus Kacie Hunt

[maxrandb]

Why don't you just come out and say you want to fuck Paul Ryan?

My God! She's been talking about Ryan like a fucking high school girl with a fucking crush.

No critical or in depth reporting. No journalism practiced.

Kacie-journalism is not stenography. If all you do is report what Ryan says... it's stenography.

Even worse than that, when you put your own words and feelings into interpreting Ryan in a nothing but positive light... it's propaganda.

[thbobby]

1. Morning Joe

promoting Kacie's show like it is something special. High powered propaganda about a low powered show. What a crock! I don't really dislike Kacie, but she sure has not earned respect.

[Funtatlaguy]

6. She is the queen of stating the obvious

Never once heard her break a story or say anything interesting.

[YOHABLO]

2. For god's sake they're eulogizing this guy. He's not going anywhere quite yet . Hold on a minute.

[dem4decades]

3. Yeah he did a great job NOT doing his job.

KC DC is off my viewing list. I don't know if I've ever seen it but if I had it didn't make an impression.

[democratisphere]

4. Doesn't Kacie Hunt lean redumbliCON?

[Funtatlaguy]

5. What girl wouldnt want Eddie Munster

It’s that widows peak haircut

[Dave Starsky]

11. It's that Olympian physique.

I"ve always thought the guy is a dead ringer for Hanover Fiste from the movie Heavy Metal.

[drbtg1]

17. Great reference!

Loved that movie! Couldn't let that go unnoticed.

[Dave Starsky]

31. STERRRRRRRN!!

Love that movie. It's the best R-rated teenaged boy movie ever made.

[manor321]

7. I noticed that too

So incredibly embarrassing.

[kentuck]

8. "Well, if that is the way you want to frame it..." (paraphrasing)

[Mr. Ected]

9. It was like Geraldo Rivera on Bill Maher's show last week, talking about Trump

Couldn't stop repeating "he's always been nice to me".

Good lord, cut the hero worship. No wonder these scum get away with bloody murder, with so-called journalists fawning over them like rock stars.

KC definitely leans right. She's not very good at disguising it.

[kentuck]

10. It is the entire Republican Party, not just Paul Ryan.

He should not be turned into the scapegoat for his Party's failure to act in time of crisis. He is the Leader in the House but he's never had his Party behind him, because they have splintered into various factions, none capable of leading.

[Kirk Lover]

12. Very objective statement (and true)....well done.

[Me.]

30. Sorry But he gets No Pass From Me

He's the one whose big dream was to deny people the SS and Medicare they paid for while having a history of benefitting from SS when he needed it. He has lived on the gov. payroll the last 20 years and will get a Speaker's pension for the next 20. In addition, he'll walk away with 14 million in fundraising cash filling his pockets. And then, when he retires he'll get SS and a gov, funded health care plan.

He's as corrupt and as craven as they come.

[Kirk Lover]

13. Just seeing this rerun...the first thing she said was that history is going to judge him

very harshly for turning tail and running. I really don't see what you are saying how she is fawning over him. She just told it like it is and she said he never stepped up. Not sure what you are watching.

[Demsrule86]

15. She did...after the history comment.

[Blue_Adept]

16. I just saw it while having my breakfast; I didn't get the same impression as the OP either

She's not my favorite among the morning group (I prefer Heidi and what she brings to the table) but Kasie's bit this morning didn't come across to me as described in the OP and I went in expecting it based on seeing the OP first.

[RandomAccess]

22. You should have seen her on Chris Hayes last night

She went on, and on, and on, and on. At one point Hayes tried to interrupt her but she'd have none of it. He finally sat there with a silly grin on his face, lips closed tightly, and just looked at her like the hostage he was. It was pathetic.

[Blue_Adept]

23. That's unfortunate

I only catch the opening 30-minute block of Morning Joe just to get a taste of how the disaffected conservatives are feeling and I like seeing what Geist, Ratner, and Meachum often have to say. It usually works best without Joe there.

Beyond that I tend to avoid cable news in general outside of breaking events.

[maxrandb]

18. That was Mika who said that

In fact that was Mika kind of pushing back on the fawning Kacie Hunt was giving Ryan.

I think Mika was embarrassed for her.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

28. We see what we want to see.

[Demsrule86]

14. I saw that too...I never liked her. Ryan is good looking if you like vapid Republican

whoremasters. She obviously is under his spell. She always defends the right though in my opinion.

[IronLionZion]

19. They want to distance Ryan from Trump because everyone knows he's going down soon

Then Paul Ryan will come in to save the GOP and go back to completely dismantle any remaining social programs with that mouse eating grin on his face. They all claim he's a true conservative unlike former Democrat Trump with his philandering sinful ways. You know, since liberalism leads directly to paying off porn stars.

She could also have a crush on Ryan, he's relative young at 48 and a gym rat. And he's about to make millions as a lobbyist or consultant.

[mythology]

20. Sexist drivel that should be beneath DU

[Blue_Adept]

21. You don't see all the posts about the male pundits and their crushes on elected officials?

I was gonna throw a sarcasm tag there but then I remembered Chris Matthews and felt bad.

[eppur_se_muova]

24. I thought Lawrence's eulogy last night was the best ...

27. At least from a technical point of view

Gingrich and Hastert actually did get a lot of stuff done, agree with it or not. But things slowed down incredibly after Boehner and then carried forward by Ryan. Just plain ineffective.

That said, at least he's not the paedophile that Hastert is and he doesn't seem as batshit crazy as Gingrich. Boehner felt old school Republican and I'm amused and enjoying his marijuana turn.

I can't see Ryan being memorable at all.

Fun bit of memory lane material:

25. From yesterday

Could not believe what I was hearing from her

[ollie10]

26. Light weight.....

[Polly Hennessey]

29. Casey Hunt is worthless as a journalist.

She has had a Ryan crush for years. Her gushing over him is not new. Think she popped up from the AP years ago.
