Morning Joe Slams Howard Dean's 'Jihad' Against Clinton Exposé Authors
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/23/2015 7:24:04 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On today's Morning Joe, ardent Hillary Clinton fan Howard Dean ran into a buzzsaw when he tried to defend her against serious charges of conflict of interest by going after the authors of the stories rather than the substance of the allegations.

Joe Scarborough ripped Dean's "comic-book politics" and called his conduct "unbecoming." New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters accused Dean of maligning his fellow reporters, and Mika Brzezinski taunted Dean, saying "you can go on your little jihad against the author, but it's not going to change the facts."

Stopped clock alert! Morning Joe panel rips Howard Dean for his lame defense of Clinton Cash allegations, accusing him of “conduct unbecoming,” “comic strip politics,” “maligning” and conducting a “little jihad” against the authors that doesn’t change the facts.

Ping to Today show list.

Team Clinton is using the same playbook that won the Presidential Super Bowls in 1992 and 1996.

I wonder how long it will be before all the Harpy’s horses and all the Harpy’s women/men realize that they can’t put the Clinton’s together again.

They got out of office White House furniture in tow. They proceeded to do things to make themselves rich that would, as a consequence, disqualify them from returning to power. Seems to me they willingly crossed the Rubicon saying, “political power schmoltical power as long as we are rich.” Now they want to un-cross the Rubicon using the same old “vast right wing conspiracy” to ferry them across. I dunno, that boat appears to be leaking, mightily.

Don’t cry Joe. Blasting the authors sounds familiar. Oh I remember. When Buchanan publishes an article, the discussion is all about hating Buchanan.

Thank goodness Mark Finkelstein watches "Morning Joe" -- so that we can spend our time on better things.

Doing the work that other Americans don't want to do!

Even Mika? Wow! There’s gotta be some serious, iron-clad charges in that book.

Joe obviously can put up with a lot, starting with the co-hostess usually seated to his right.

But don't you dare say anything derogatory about his belovéd New York Times!

He didn't choke on those words?
