1. Joe is Such a Patronizing Jerk

And rude not to let her speak. I expected him to tell her not to worry her pretty little head over it.

[Voice for Peace]

2. gosh. does he always respond that way when she attempts to speak?

that was kind of scary to watch.

[elleng]

3. 'Can we go to News School for a second?'

Good for her! I don't watch the show, but do appreciate that she set out her lesson as she did.

[jwirr]

4. Just take a minute and calm down! If I have ever heard a sexist statement that is it. I love how he

is mumbling in his helpless little way.

[rtracey]

6. yes

I'm surprised he didn't say she was "hysterical".......talk about sexist

[lame54]

5. She should punch him in that slit under his nose

[closeupready]

7. Wow. Mika, the warrior for truth? Never thought such a day would dawn.

She nails them on their 'stan'-hating, brown-people hating lies and smears.

Go, Mika! K&R

[butterfly77]

8. This bossy bastard!

Who in the hell does he think he is,. Bring it down my ass! He really thinks he can control everyone. STFU Scar!

[Hulk]

9. Just ask yourself....."Would joe do this to a male co-host??"

What a sexist piece of human waste.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

10. He doesn't even realize how bad he looked in this segment....

I'm seeing a bit of behind the scenes conflict boiling over here.

I can see the day coming when the whole show ends with an on air confrontation.

[butterfly77]

21. I have been waiting for an on air confrontation forever..

The scenario would be someone kicking Scarborough's ass on air,of course they would be protecting their self..

[Spitfire of ATJ]

22. I'm expecting him to get a facefull of "morning joe" with cream and sugar.

[LongTomH]

11. Geez, what a numbnutz!

[madaboutharry]

12. He is a patronizing sexist jerk.

She should just tell him to shut up. "Just Shut Up, Joe!" Just like that.

[question everything]

13. Now I know what I have been missing..

NOT!

I suppose he thinks that because the program is called "Morning Joe" he has a first night right.

He probably is making at least double what she does.

And... last time I saw them in action - during the RNC 2008 convention, Mika was all googly eyes over Palin so...

[yuiyoshida]

14. You can just about see him roll his eyes...

It seems he really has no respect for her, to try and keep talking over her. Fortunately her voice is much clearer and louder, and she dominates him. Love it..

[Kahuna]

15. Ha ha! Just went to twitter and Joe is getting the business and trying

to act like nothing happened. Go Mica! Joe was trying to use his authority over her to get her to shut up and she just kept going.

16. Did this guy come directly from his sophomore year?

Watching that, I wanted her to slug him!

[ladjf]

17. Joe sounds as though he has some type of mental disorder. He is sort of scary.nt

[rhett o rick]

18. He has a terrible case of male chauvinism. Trying to tell her to calm down and lower her voice.

She should have slapped him.

[markpkessinger]

19. Particularly since she wasn't even raising her voice! n/t

[rhett o rick]

20. Exactly. And he tried to talk over her. What an asshat. nm

23. Now He's Claiming It Was a Joke

Article on TPM:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/joe-scarborough-liberals-didnt-get-plane-joke

Maybe it was. Maybe it wasn't. It looked like typical sexist asshole behavior to me. "Jokes" like that don't ever come off well to those whose whole lives were spent being interrupted, belittled, ignored, called 'hysterical,' etc.

Joe can stuff his non-apology: "For humorless liberals who thought I was being rude to Mika today, my sincere apologies that you are too thick to get the joke."

I guess MSNBC's audience (gee, who could that be?) is thick, too.

Send him over to Fox Propaganda Channel. Maybe they'll "get" him over there.

[Seedersandleechers]

24. What a lying POS

Joe is.

[butterfly77]

27. This is one..

phoney,hypocritical,fake,lyingm,asshole I believe he has some type of mental condition. It is plain to see what he was doing and how angry he was because he likes to be in control and thinks he has all of the answers.

[DeSwiss]

25. He's still mad at her daddy......

- K&R

[Malteil]

31. that was one of the funniest things i have ever seen.

Joe does not like the smack-down he received.

[northoftheborder]

26. At last, this woman spoke up to that chauvinistic, arrogant, overbearing man.

To see him muttering under his breath and acting like a cad, while she just went on and said what she wanted to say was so refreshing. I never watch this show, because I cannot stand to watch or listen to Mr. Joe constantly filibustering every topic, and Mika sitting there with something to say, and all she can get out is an intake of breath along with eye-rolls, because he interrupts and puts her down. I don't know why she stays under the circumstances.

[Thor_MN]

28. He's annoyed that she can't fall and fatally hit her head in the office...

That well is played out.

[polynomial]

29. News schools ?

Mika let the secret out MSNBC is the mainstream media appearing to be nothing more than a news school. News casters get real time conditioning for political polish.

News Journalist Telecasters get buffed up for real time political debates. This newsy forum is the perfect place to develop the schmooze needed to flim flam the electorate. Steer power.

Getting the conditioning for hosting political debates or becoming a candidate plus doing the news dance appealing to those one percent who are the journalist job creators. Its bonus time at MSNBC

30. Holy crap - I had seen this thread earlier but hadn't bothered watching the video till just now

I have never watched their show, so I have no idea how they normally interact - but I have no idea how she didn't haul off and slap the shit out of him during that.

Telling her to lower her voice and calm down the whole time while trying his very hardest to get a reaction out of her.

I can only imagine she must get paid pretty well to put up with that condescending idiot on a regular basis.
