Overwhelmingly Biased Mika: Petraeus 'Underwhelming' (JOE lets cat out of bag on Mika)

Some people are hard to shop for, but when it comes to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski it's going to be a breeze. Next to her name on my Chanukah list, I'm putting her down without hesitation . . . for a Roget's Thesaurus. Because when it comes to describing the performance of people across her political divide, Mika seems stuck on a solitary word: "underwhelming."

As noted here, reading the news of Fred Thompson's "Tonight Show" appearance last week, Mika editorialized that "it was sort of underwhelming, but . . . it's done."

At the top of today's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough invited Mika to assess General Petraeus's performance before Congress yesterday, and . . . you guessed it.

View video here.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: So how did General Petraeus do, Mika?

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Am I allowed to use the word "underwhelming"?

SCARBOROUGH: If you want to; you've done it before. Who did you use that for?

BRZEZINSKI: Uh, Fred Thompson.

SCARBOROUGH: So you thought Petraeus was underwhelming.

BRZEZINSKI: I just think the whole numbers thing is interesting. We had the surge, and when we had the surge this summer, a lot of people said they're having the surge so they can draw back. And that's exactly what happened. Just from the surge.

Morning Joe is a horrible program! I used to like his show somewhat when it first appeared on MSNBC a few years ago, but then it got worse. Now the morning version is truly unwatchable.

“So, Mika, what’s the BIG NEWS from Zibgnew Bzrezinski?!”

Her dad, while a pretty smart guy, I guess, did a really lousy job for the country while in The White House.

He didn't do such a hot job as a father either.

Joe said that maybe her father could run the Obama Campaign and as soon as he said that she shut him down quick about her dad. She’s just another bias MSNBC nappy-headed ho.

Randi Rhodes was complaining that the expert testimony was boring. Don’t bother those libs with facts. They prefer emotional appeals and spin that tie into their beliefs.

I saw Chrissy Matthews yesterday crying because General Petraeus refused to get in the political debate about whether Iraq has made us safer but while crying he forgot to mention that General Petraeus did say being in Iraq has eliminated Al-Qaeda a safe haven.
