Mika Brzezinski on Paul Ryan: "He STILL looks like a nice young man, doesn't he?"

[Miles Archer]

Just now on Morning Joke as they went to a commercial break, showing a beaming Ryan backstage as Mika set up the next segment by calling him "The intellectual leader of the Republican Party."

1. It must take a lot of Starbucks

to spew that garbage every morning.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. The sad truth is that he is.

[Cha]

3. No. And, that why the repubs are in such big trouble.. ""The intellectual leader of the Republican

Party"

Someone should check Mika's IQ with statements like that.

5. Trouble

I wish. They will hold the House and gain 3 seats in November.....how in the heck is that trouble?????

[Kingofalldems]

14. Are you bragging by any chance?

[yeoman6987]

16. No

[GiveEmEnoughRope]

4. Ted Bundy looked like a nice young man too

[Lex]

12. Exactly what I first thought.

People often equate clean cut young men with goodness and light to their own detriment.

[Gothmog]

6. Mika is a an idiot on some mornings

[Miles Archer]

7. This was one of those mornings, Gothmog.

[Orsino]

15. Mostly on broadcast mornings. n/t

8. Fresh off the Weinermobile

n/t

9. So did Jeffrey Dahmer & Ted Bundy

Ryan is another kind of serial killer--his policies will rob the poor of what little safety net they have left and will lead to many people dying of malnutricion, homelessness and lack of health care.

10. Yes Mika, Eddie Munster is a nice young man. And Paul Ryan looks like Eddie Munster.

[Mike Daniels]

11. Mika and Joe were fawning over Christie's tantrum re: using Springsteen's music this morning

Claiming "he's back" and how refreshing it is to see someone who says what they mean. Granted, starfuc*ing on Morning Joe is pretty much par for the course but it was pretty thick today re: Christie and Ryan.

The only person on today's show who had a functioning intellect (Donny Deutsch) countered by saying that this display just further advanced the image of Christie being a bullying blowhard. Christie could have easily made a comment and moved on but he continued to engage and berate the person who asked the initial question.

13. Awww, yeah he does. Reminds me of that sweet young Damian boy...

[bluesbassman]

17. Uh, he's 44 Mika. Hardly a "young man".

That's the kind of comment you make about someone (male or female) that just graduated high school.

Grow up Mika.

Note: I'm not implying the 44 is "old", just commenting on the absurdity of Mika's comment.
