Morning Joe: 'Ignore' Rubio's Remarks To Rush—Just Taking Care of Ba
Marco Rubio's tough talk to Rush Limbaugh yesterday about no immigration deal being done unless certain language on border security, etc. is included? Ignore it. Just Rubio taking care of his conservative base—and saving face. In the end, Rubio will likely give Obama his vote on immigration reform. It's all about finding an out for Republicans when it comes to winning back a decent share of…

Politico: Amnesty 'Right Thing To Do', But Easy to 'Demagogue
It's a classic MSM tactic: delegitimize opposition to a liberal proposal. Suggest that there can be no principled objections, only base motives.
Take the current proposals on "the pathway to citizenship"—AKA amnesty—being floated. On today's Morning Joe, Politico co-founder and executive editor Jim VandeHei proclaimed that it was probably "the right thing to do," but fretted that it…
Scarborough: Blood Will Be On Pentagon's Hands If It Lowers Standards

Benghazi Hearings—Willie Geist Rides To Rand Paul's Defense: 'Doing
Joe Scarborough has said that he doesn't know whether Morning Joe member Willie Geist is a Democrat or a Republican. I'd say Willie leans left on social issues but is not reflexively liberal on other matters. Today, with Scarborough absent from the Morning Joe set, Geist actually rode to the defense of Rand Paul.
The Republican Senator from Kentucky has been taking heat from Dems over…
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough: I’m Not A RINO, I’m Mr. Cut

Scarborough, who NewsBusters has repeatedly…
Andrea Mitchell: 'I Was Very Moved, Being Up There, Looking Out Over T
Ah, the masses. How they loved President Obama's inaugural speech. And how Andrea Mitchell, being "up there," loved looking out over them. She was "very moved."

Confused Maureen Dowd: Why Can't Obama Use 'Super-Brain' to Make Washi
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd spoke in such illustrious language about the "brilliant" president and his "super-brain" that she even bowled over Obama fan Mika Brzezinski who exclaimed: "Now that's love!"

Mark Levin: 'Have You Lost Your Mind Tom Brokaw? Do You Realize What A
As NewsBusters reported Thursday, Tom Brokaw appearing on MSNBC's Morning Joe said that not supporting gun control in the wake of the Newtown, Connecticut, massacre is akin to those that didn't back the Civil Rights movement in the '60s.

Morning Joe's Melodramatic Reaction To NRA Ad On Elite Hypocrisy Over
Have a look at the screengrab: it shows Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, she holding chin in hand, he hanging head.

The panel's…
Arianna Huffington & Scarborough Claim: W.F. Buckley, Jr. Would Have S
I don't know about you, but when I want to know how William F. Buckley, Jr. would have felt about an issue, I always consult Arianna Huffington and Joe Scarborough.

Obama Czar Rattner: Colin Powell Feels 'Hostility' From GOP Because He
Oh those racist Republicans. Did you know that they're hostile to Colin Powell because he's black? Yup, just ask former Obama car czar Steve Rattner. The Morning Joe regular today claimed that poor Powell "feels this hostility toward him from the rest of the party in part because he's a minority."
Really? Colin Powell feels hostility from "the rest of the party" because he's a minority? …
