Deutsch: Not to Sound Elitist, But People Astoundingly Ignorant

May 21st, 2015 9:10 AM
What would Donny Deutsch say if he did want to sound elitist?  Because for not wanting to sound elitist, Donny Deutsch came off an awful lot like the denizen of Manhattan and the Hamptons that he is. On today's Morning Joe, reacting to comments from a focus group of Iowa Republicans who were less concerned about Jeb Bush's policy positions and more concerned about his last name, Deutsch…

Deutsch: People Want to 'Turn Page' on Hillary, See Rubio as 'Future'

April 24th, 2015 8:43 AM
There's an understandable tendency not to take Donny Deutsch too seriously. He can come across not as a credible political analyst but as a guy more interested in his abs and biceps and the next lady at the next Hamptons cocktail party.  But let's give Donny his due: as an ad man, he at times offers interesting insights on politics seen in terms of brands and marketing. He also serves as a…

Mika Mocks Rubio: 'That's a Little Boy' Compared to Hillary

April 14th, 2015 9:21 AM
Can you imagine if in 2008 a prominent conservative media member had said that Barack Obama looked like a "little boy" compared to John McCain?  The echoes of liberal outrage would still be resounding today. But there was Mika Brzezinski on today's Morning Joe saying of Marco Rubio "that's a little boy." Mika made the invidious comparison to Hillary's service as senator, First Lady and Secretary…

Donny Deutsch Disses Rep. Diaz-Balart: Statement on Cuba Deal 'Inane'

December 18th, 2014 8:52 AM
It's good that we live in a country where citizens feel free to criticize elected officials to their face.  Just wondering, though: when was the last time that freedom was exercised on MSNBC to tell a Dem official that something he said was "inane?" On today's Morning Joe, Donny Deutsch angrily asked Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Miami "why do you say an inane thing like that?" Deutsch's…

Judge Rules MSNBC's Donny Deutsch Denied His Broker a Cool Million

October 30th, 2014 11:28 AM
A New York judge has ruled that frequent MSNBC Morning Joe guest, Donny Deutsch, scammed over a million dollars in commission from his real estate broker in the sale of a $30 million home in the Hamptons. For those who don't remember, Deutsch was the one who stated on Morning Joe that the Occupy Wall Street movement needs a Kent State moment to "articulate this clash."

Deutsch Makes Case for Romney: 'We Kind of Made a Mistake 4 Years Ago'

October 15th, 2014 8:19 AM
It was one thing for Joe Scarborough to make the case for Mitt Romney, arguing that these frightening times demand the kind of competence Romney offers.   But on today's Morning Joe, it was stunning to hear a New York Dem like Donny Deutsch say something very similar. According to the ad man: "There is a psychological reason to go to Mitt Romney, and that is: wow!  We kind of made a mistake four…

'Mad Man' Sam Stein's Hilarious Response To Calamitous CBO/Obamacare R

February 5th, 2014 8:15 AM
Give Sam Stein credit for being an honest liberal.  Confronted with the CBO's findings about the disastrous job-killing effects of Obamacare, Stein didn't try to spin the unspinnable. On today's Morning Joe, Donnie Deutsch invited Stein to play a game of Mad Men.  Deutsch first sketched out a 30-second ad making the case against Obamacare--that contrary to what President Obama had said, you…

Lin-Sanity: Morning Joe Runs 28 Clips of Knicks Player

February 15th, 2012 11:17 AM
The MSM loves Jeremy Lin for now.  But how long before he gets the Tebow treatment? Check out the video of the opening of today's Morning Joe.  In just over two minutes, the show ran clips of Knicks player Jeremy Lin hitting a three-point buzzer beater last night . . . no fewer than 10 times. But Morning Joe was far from finished.  I counted a total of 28 Lin clips during the course of the…

More than 100,000 Jobs Lost, Likely Much Worse Says Gallup

October 8th, 2010 11:12 AM
The final government unemployment report before the midterm election was released Oct. 8 showing a loss of 95,000 jobs in September, and an additional 15,000 losses in July and August and an unemployment rate still at 9.6 percent. But Gallup warned on Oct. 7 that the BLS report was "likely to understate" the job losses in September. By its calculations the unemployment rate is actually…

MSNBC Goes to Bat Against 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell

August 5th, 2009 5:49 PM
It's been a long time since MSNBC could pretend to be anything but a shill for liberal politicians, policies and causes. Any remaining doubts about that can be dispelled by surveying the network's recent coverage of the controversy over gays in the military. Cable news' self-described "place for politics" covered the U.S. military's "don't ask, don't tell" administrative policy six different…
