Move over, Reverend Al. You're not the only MSNBC host who moonlights as a liberal activist. On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski announced that she will be not merely be covering a pay protest by fast-food workers in Detroit on August 29th--she'll be an active part of it.

Joe Scarborough tried—in vain—to school Mika on Econ 101. But she did the equivalent of covering her ears and nattering "nah, nah, nah: can't hear you!" Scarborough said he'd be at the protest--on the sidelines, with a bullhorn.

Stupid, ugly humans we'll accept. But, for trying to be the news instead of simply reporting the news, you're FIRED!

Gawd how I hate the propaganda stream media.

Mika is just another dumb tortured liberal. “With my guilt and your gelt we can do anything!”

These people need to be seen as the phonies they really are.

[SoFloFreeper]

Joe couldn’t teach a big dog to fart.

Geez. Prilosec right GLGB?

[SpaceBar]

Is she going to spit in whitey’s food like Jesse Jackson did?

Is she going to spit in whitey’s food like Jesse Jackson did?

That was Virginia Governor Doug Wilder.

Mika is stupid. Joe has been bought and paid for.

Both are despicable human beings.

Go ahead. Raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.

Then when McDonalds charges $7 for their crummy little hamburgers, nobody will be able to afford to eat there.

The unintended consequence: those $15/hour workers will lose their jobs.

Mike should fight for illegal aliens to get minimum wage pay. But she won’t...because if employers who illegally employ illegal aliens somehow had to pay illegal workers that same pay as everyone else, they wouldn’t hire them. She knows this.

[Fightin Whitey]

You gotta admit she’s in pretty good shape.

Joe can’t get anything to raise up like that anymore.

[D Rider]

Mika has nothing intellectual to offer. Maybe she should wear a bikini.

[Paladin2]

She certainly does a good job of drawing attention to herself.

[silverleaf]

mika could just tip all those workers $15 an hour

[Rodamala]

That picture begs to be photoshopped and captions.

It’s never out of reach!

Their latest PR weapon on this is a study showing that McDonalds in France (1200 stores and minimum wage of $12 per hour) and Australia (900 stores and minimum wage of $14.80) remain profitable despite the fact that the price of a Big Mac remains within 25 cents of the US price.

Gotta admit...if those numbers are accurate, I can’t figure it out.
