Joe & Mika Miffed Tapper Not Tapped For ‘This Week’

Some cross-network love for Jake Tapper on Morning Joe today, as MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski expressed respect for ABC’s Jake Tapper, and disappointment that ABC News had not chosen him as permanent host of its Sunday talk show, This Week. Instead of elevating its home-grown talent, ABC has brought in Christiane Amanpour, late of CNN, to fill the vacancy created by George Stephanopoulos’ move to Good Morning America.
Joe and Mika made their comments after rolling tape of Tapper asking Bill Clinton, in an interview aired yesterday, whether he should have been considered to fill the impending Supreme Court vacancy.

Joe and Mika would have liked to have seen Jake Tapper get the permanent slot at This Week over Christiane Amanpour. I agree! Your-thoughts ping to Today show list.

Tapper isn’t a complete lefty so that’s why he didn’t get the job.

I read somewhere that Joe and Mika were having an affair - do you think that’s true? Wonder what Daddy Brzezinski thinks of that - oh wait, he’s too busy advising Obama to care.

MSNBC
The channel which only sees colour and is infatuated with race.

They will quickly discover that no one will watch Amanpour.

Ever been to a gallery where you see a piece of work you just know is lousy, but it's there because "art people" say it's really good?
That's Christiane Amanpour in the news world.

Speaking of Joe and Mika, their show has become “unwatchable” as someone would say. Not much better than a video Air America. Must be those “Instant” Messages from the White House are working.

It is certainly “unwatched” by me. If Mark didn’t bring us bits and pieces, I wouldn’t even know it was still on. Out of touch with America, out of touch with reality, but very much enamored of themselves. It’s enough to spoil one’s morning coffee.

ABC is going to regret asking Christiane Amanpour to take that seat. She is just about as likable as a viper and dumb as a box of rocks. Worse, she has been exposed as a tireless shill for anything anti-American, so she is a "must get" for the Obama crew. But the business of TV is ratings and she is not ready for Prime Time.
ABC lost the opportunity for someone who could be the next Tim Russert for ABC News and passed the chance because the Obama people hate Tapper because it plays it straight down the middle and they can't afford anything like that.

What a stupid question. Even Obama isn’t dumb enough to nominate for the Supreme Court somebody who could not practice before that Court. The Supreme Court disbarred Clinton after his plea bargain.
