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.

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.
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.
