!. Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Bright, articulate she easily outmaneuvered "small government" Scar on "not letting government make private decisions of women." He was simply outgunned by her and her commonsense description of the actual work of 95% of what PP does all across the country.
2. Zbigniew Brzezinski who so easily took care of the bloviators on the set, including Carl Bernstein, and other wheezebags, on the subject of Syria. I never cared much for Mr. Zbig but now I am liking him a lot. This wasn't even a fair fight! And he looked positively merry at the end of the segment saying how much fun it was!
You can get the two segments on msnbc.tv at the Morning Joe page (or it will be up soon).
I guess all the RW gas bags they usually have on are outta town...

(31,706 posts)They had Neo-Con Dan Senor who a few months ago was going on a tangent on how President Obama was doing everything wrong in Libya...either we were doing too much or too little and now how we should repeat whatever it was that we did there in Syria. Then he goes on to fearmonger how Iranian troops are invading Syria...sabre rattling galore. And he's a "advisor" to Mittens. The dude never put on the uniform but he's more than glad to send someone elses kid off to die for some "noble cause".

(31,706 posts)Senor looks at the world like some Risk game...loaded up with "ideology" and little basis in reality. Not to dispell Zbig's total schooling of him this morning but a chimpanzee will easily beat Senor in a battle of intelligence...

(82,849 posts)They had a discussion about Planned Parenthood and actually had someone from Planned Parenthood on? Holy schnikes! Some producer is going to get her walking papers as soon as Joe signs off.

(63,903 posts)Joe routinely trashes PP, but I think that is becoming not so popular since msnbc found out that PP is VERY mainstream in this country, if we want to get real about it. That translates into "independent voters" and if Joe wants his show to remain at all relevant he needs to get that organization's side of the story on the show. Not that it will do any good. Chris Hayes and Melissa Harris Perry are fast becoming the new things on msnbc.
The hot breath of competition breathing down Joe's back???
