What does it say about the secular state of the MSM that a liberal media member has to defensively clarify for the record that she doesn't object to a candidate having "a moral grounding"?
During the opening half-hour of today's Morning Joe, a clip was played of Mike Huckabee describing to a South Carolina gathering how he found his faith as a 10-year old attending a vacation Bible school. He expressed the hope that others had experienced that joy and would share it with others.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: The thing that I found is, if people don't get too down in the weeds about their faith, and don't seem like they're lecturing, then I think it gives people a sense of assurance: "OK, the guy's got a faith system; I'm comfortable with that, and now move on and tell me how you're going to run the country."
That seemed to put Mika Brzezinski on the defensive.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: I have no problem with a moral grounding. I don't!
BONUS COVERAGE: Mika Says Mike's In
A bit earlier, a clip was played of an interview of Rudy Giuliani from last evening in which, apropos of Mike Bloomberg, Mika put it to Rudy that "I've heard that this guy is in [the presidential race]." But when Joe and Mika chatted about the matter this morning, Brzezinski wasn't in a particularly collegial mood when it came to sharing her sources.
SCARBOROUGH: You're talking to somebody Mika . . . Who have you been talking to that knows that Mike Bloomberg is going to run for president?
BRZEZINSKI: Now why would I tell you that?
SCARBOROUGH: I mean you have been talking to people.BRZEZINSKI: I have. There's a number of different sources leading me to believe, and some are convinced he's going to make an announcement in April.

Hmmm
January 17, 2008 - 09:54 ET by BourbeauAnother enlightening exchange between Dim Bulb Joe and the Mika the Mouth.
Religious beliefs are scary....if you're Republican.
January 17, 2008 - 10:33 ET by WildBillHowz come no talking head libs question, discuss as troubling, or otherwise make mention when a Hussein or a Clinton visit a church service, or speak at an alter, or some such. Both state a religious belief, a purported faith in the Almighty, and are even members of a church (although that is a loose term for Hussein's place, should rename it the, "Just for Blacks Church").

They're there because of their faith, not like Repubs...
January 17, 2008 - 10:40 ET by PawpawNThey're there because of their faith, not like Repubs who go there only for violating Church & State according to the Libs, the MSM, etc. It's the typical double standard we have come to know since Conservatism now has a voice in politics. It was there all along but now it has been brought to light by the Conservative talk show hosts, some candidates, etc. How many times has religion played any real part in the election of a president, except maybe when people tried to use Catholic religion against JFK?
Joe needs to wake up! They want Fakers not Shakers

GWB never got down in the weeds or lectured about faith and look how he was demonized and portrayed. Republicans are the ones who don't mind if people have different faiths. Liberals want you to be a Faker not a Shaker or any other religion if you are going to hold public office. If you are a true believer in any religion they think you are stupid and unfit.
Puzzled by Bubbles
January 18, 2008 - 02:26 ET by Lame CherryAs I really am past having any interest in what Bubbles B and Pole Joe have to say, I was more interested Mr. Finkelstein in the screen grab you have of Bubbles and Joe.
Is this picture some kind of trick as why on earth does Bubble actually look like a mail order bride out of Russia in being somewhat attractive?
Having seen this woman too often over the years, I was certain even with CBS tons o makeup that nothing would ever fix her looking like all those Russian women they used to hook to carts to pull as they were mistaken for horses.
I know I'm not wrong in this as if you look at Bubble's hands THEY ARE THE SAME MAN HANDS she has always had in that man size body she always had........with that man size nose.....but now even that nose is gone.
Did Bubbles have plastic surgery????? Has Pole Joe any insight in this as he sits by the Mika of Manoslavia daily?????
Bubbles still looks like she should be milking cows for a living, but seems to be Cinderbubblized like a fairytale. I was just wondering what her pumpkin surgeon's name was as this does not look like the same mail order bride from before.
I doubt Pole Joe though has noticed as in the picture he looks like he was out at stripper clubs again all night and had a few shots of Wild Turkey with his corn flakes when he got in.
