Mika Got Mugged
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/18/2008 4:07:17 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If the definition of a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, look for Mika Brzezinski to start sounding like Pat Buchanan. The big news on Morning Joe today is that Mika got mugged. Not mugged by reality. Mugged mugged. The MJ co-host was outside her Washington, DC early this morning, waiting for the car to take her to the studio, when a man approached and told her to give him $20 "and you won't get hurt." Mika gave her everything she had-$6-and the man went away.

Mika didn't want the news to be mentioned, but Joe Scarborough insisted. Brzezinski was ever the good trouper, repeatedly insisting everything was fine and suggesting the panel move on to other matters. But Scarborough was furious that the hotel, pointedly unnamed but apparently prominent, provided no security for a guest waiting right outside its doors.

A member of the wealthy media elite only had $6 on her? That’s surprising.

I don’t have any idea who “Mika” is, but I’m happy the person wasn’t hurt.

Something about this story doesn’t ring right. What mugger, robber, whatever, is going to say “Give [me] $20 and you won’t get hurt”? It’d be all or nothing, baby. Snatch the purse at the least and get out of there. It just sounds funny to me...

Media Elite don’t need money. Most people could BS their way through life if they were so inclined but Mika and her cohorts have it down. I’m glad she’s okay. Give her a few days and some delusional ‘justification’ for the act will come out. Bless her simple brain.

“when a man approached and told her...”

A man? My guess is he was a white man. Just guessing.

She only had 6 bucks and didn’t want the police involved. Like a typical media talking head, she manages to make news. If you ask me she’s full of it.

Cabs are only for the "little people".

Doesn’t it cost $6 just to get in a cab? Where did she think she was going on so little cash? Apparently she wasn’t planning to tip well either.

If the definition of a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged,....

Yes, and a civil libertarian is a conservative who's been indicted. It is sad that people have to face real life before they understand there is a tough real world out there.
