Mika Brzezinski: 'How Do We Stop Talking About Newt Gingrich?'
How much do the gang at MSNBC's Morning Joe despise Newt Gingrich and want to derail his run for president?
Near the end of a Monday segment in which she read - with a smile on her face, mind you - numerous columns quite hostile to the former Speaker of the House, co-host Mika Brzezinski asked, "How do we stop talking about Newt Gingrich?" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST: But we conservatives believe that Freddie and Fannie started a fire that almost took down our entire economy. We conservatives believe that. Whether liberals...
STEVEN RATTNER: I don't disagree with that by the way.
SCARBOROUGH: Okay, well, we can conservatives believe it. But Newt doesn't. And why doesn't Newt? Because he was getting paid $1.6 million. And there are just all of these – he calls other people socialist. He calls the CBO for instance a socialistic institution, and yet he supported a $7 trillion Medicare Part D benefit which was the most socialistic biggest spending program on the books since LBJ. These are the inconsistencies that drive me crazy about Newt Gingrich.
RATTNER: It's all true, but also remember that Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman have their own set of flaws. They are flawed candidates in their own ways. They're not necessarily great alternatives to Romney.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Alright. It's, we've got to somehow turn the Newt, how do we do this? How do we stop talking about Newt Gingrich?
SCARBOROUGH: Well no, I, again, I think Newt's going to take up a lot of space. I think though as you said Mark Halperin, he may have a historic impact because he may be the guy that destabilizes Mitt Romney and either drags this out so long that we have a brokered convention, or he helps nominate a third person.
Readers are advised that this segment began with video clips of Republican Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn saying why he wouldn't support Gingrich on Fox News Sunday, followed by Brzezinski reading from recent anti-Gingrich columns written by New York Times Obama-lovers Frank Bruni and Maureen Dowd, with George Will's Saturday piece thrown in for good measure.
The smile on Brzezinski's face as she read these was much like a kid's on Christmas morning.
When she wasn't having fun trashing the former Speaker with other people's words, her co-host - who has made his distaste for Gingrich well-known - ran with the anti-Newt ball.
And this is what viewers should expect from Morning Joe as long as Gingrich remains in the race.
Of course, at that point they'll just go after whoever the GOP frontrunner is much as they've done since this campaign began.
Readers are reminded that in his interview with NewsBusters last month, Scarborough likened himself to a referee who's on the set to keep everyone else honest.
Maybe he should penalize himself fifteen yards for piling on.

That is why this show is unwatchable.
You know what to expect out of the rest of the far left loons sitting at that table everyday especially Mika's dimwitted comments.
But what comes out of Scarborough is disgusting.
He is constantly bad mouthing GOP candidates and members on the Hill. and every time he does that he qualifies it by saying "we conservatives" or "as you know I am a small government conservative."
The fact is that if what came out of his mouth relfected those beliefs then he would not have to constantly qualify them. Sacrborough is not a RHINO - he's a opportunist trying to hold onto that MSNBC paycheck and he is a liar. If you were to listen to him over the course of a month he would have everyone believe that he is the last of the Reagan conservatives because of how many others he irresponsibly trashes.

from about 4 years ago as to what these commentators did talk about with Obama.
How great "Hope" is? How we need "Change"? How in general, we should avoid drafting policies that fail?
But perhaps there might have been details in the discussion. Perhaps about the fictional "my plan" for healthcare, about which a President later said "I won't know what's in it until they give it to me to sign it" despite holding numerous press briefings about what problems would be solved by this piece of legislation he can't answer questions about. About how Obama would "close Gitmo"? Or "end the wars"?
What detail--that has actually remained detail and not pure fiction--did they talk about?!! I remember somebody talking about pant-creases or tingles. I remember a lot of talk about how everything that conservatives said about someone who was perhaps the most liberal Senator was "unfair" or debating how racist it is to call someone a "celebrity".

The field appears to be wide open at this point
Submitted by Galvanic on Mon, 12/05/2011 - 1:08pm.
No one in among the group appears to be catching on with sustained momentum. We've seen 4 candidates at the top of the polls up to this point, and I don't expect that Gringrich will hold on to his lead.
At the same time, Romney has a steady base, but never moves into first. I think many Republicans are suspicious of him due to obvious flip-flops in his political career. Also, if Romney gets the nomination, it takes Obamacare off the table.
If no one garners enough primary delegates to secure the nomination on the first round of voting at the Convention, I can see a brokered convention selecting 'dark horse' nominee, and persuading Marco Rubio to run as VP, which could be the death knell for the Obama WH.
Is this likely to a happen? At this point, I'd say No. But I think it has become more possible over the course of the 10+ GOP debates thanks to a field of candidates that individually and collecting lacks enough charisma to ignite the Party's base.
While many on NB were rightly celebrating the GOP victories in 2010, I warned that the GOP would likely have its own dilemma with selecting a 2012 candidate through the archaic and manipulated primary system. Their best way ahead is for a brokered convention IMHO.

. . . either as President or (more likely) VP. He delivers his positions with great confidence and can out-knowledge the intellectually-lazy incumbent at the WH.
One advantage to a dark horse from a brokered convention is that he/she comes into the fray without the battle damage of the primary season, giving the opposition just a few short months to size up the candidate and attack, while all their prior investment on personal attacks is wasted.
The risk of a dark horse is that they haven't been vetted, so something ugly could pop out during that period with little time to repair or no time to substitute.

The media is making a joke out of the Republican process (2011 vs. 2007). every time one takes a significant lead, other than Romney (msm's/libs favorite to beat) and Paul(never more than 10%).
I think the RNC needs to take control of the process. This msm media is running the show with debates(moderated by them).
Pelosi and company will do what ever is necessary to keep their jobs, and corrupt the system if necessary. Business as usual, but with a positive note: I think they are running for their lives this time. Their 'king' has no clothes, their princes are bailing (barney, et al), and the Tea Party writing is on the wall.
We just need to take control of our own situation, including not participating in clown trump's debacle(which he calls a debate).

They'd pick Hoyer over Pelosi.
Also, if she starts breaking the House Ethics Committee rules on confidentiality, she'll have opened the door for it ALL to come out -- Frank, Rangel, Weiner, Jesse Jackson Jr. -- let it fly!

One of your daughters may show up pregnant one day THEN you'll think twice before ever being so snarky, cruel, and judgemental over another woman? What's that Mika?
You know, we have a talk show host here in Boston who years and years ago referred to her as "the dumbest woman on television." At the time I had no idea who she was. He used to go on and on about her being not only the dumbest woman on network television, but the dumbest woman on any television anywhere ever in the whole history of the medium. He used to rip on her all the time about just rolling her eyes and being a scolding school-marm and sighing and that was the sum total of her contribution to the dialogue every morning, 3 hours per day. This was a blistering indictment!
So, I started watching during the run-up to the '08 election and began to form my own opinion on the matter. Because I don't want to be cruel, like I suggested Mika has been to Sarah Palin, I will not record a judgement here. What I will do is DESCRIBE, in detail, what my experience with her has been and leave it there: I can't think of a single thing she has ever said that has challenged me, enlightened me, persuaded me, or informed me in any meaningful way.

New could not win against Obama. Of course I despise the liberal double standard MSM but Newt will self destruct at some point....unfortunately it may not occur until he gets the nomination.
Romney is by far the most electible and those of you who pan him as a RINO are among those are not being realistic about who has the best chance of beating Obama. Romney has proven that he can attract independents. Ultra conservatives or a polarizing candidate like Newt are not electible and those that support them are forgetting the real goal...beating Obama.
If one assumes that the biggest crisis of our country is the economy, Romney is a strong pro business/capitalism candidate and has a solid economic plan.
Support Newt at the peril of the party...and four more years of Obama WHO WILL USE PRESIDENTIAL POWER TO OVERCOME EVEN A REPUBLICAN SENATE AND CONGRESS.....to institute radical enviornmental anti business policies with regulations that fly under the radar of the legistative process.

Second of all, I strongly disagree. If the goal is to defeat Obama, Mitt is the wrong way to go. From what I see, read, and hear, he does not have much support from many of us conservative plain folk. Votes for Mitt are sure to balance out in Obama's favor. You can vote for whoever you want, of course. But Mitt is not going to turn the tide enough to oust Obama. I believe Newt will, and he seems to annoy the libtards more, which is always a plus.

And the point of bringing up something the media say about one candidate, any candidate, shouldn't have to devolve into an argument of why that candidate has no chance, or why another candidate is better.
You like Romney...that's fine.
Are you willing to again give the media the power they had in 2008, to decide who gets the nomination? Is that OK with you as long as it's your preferred candidate?
I repeat: the media should NOT be trying to "sink" anyone! Or "promote" anyone, as they do on an hourly basis with the incumbent president.
And don't forget, whoever the media "blesses" as the preferred candidate will be become the devil as immediately upon becoming the official nominee.

Newt not only can win, he will win.
He's polling at about 65% over Obama here in Florida with the INDIES.
We were "given" McCain the last time around, as "the one who could appeal to the indies". Guess what? The indies are as disgusted with Obama as we hard core conservatives are. They'll vote ABO. Don't doubt it for a minute.
The other thing that puts me in Newt's corner at this point is not only the exploding heads of the punditocracy, but the knee-jerk gut reaction of "NO!" by the Republican Establishment. I want them gone as well as Obama. I see more Tea Party Republicans being swept into Congress. I'd like to see Boehner and Cantor tossed out of the House leadership, as well as the elevation of Jim Demint & Marco Rubio to serious leadership positions in the Senate.
Finally, Newt is able to admit his mistakes, something that Romney is stubbornly refusing to do. That, to me, says everything about Mitt's character. No thank you.

Cain did it to himself and so will newt

Aside from Cains womanizing (alleged or otherwise), his performance in the foreign policy debate was a disaster. Cain was a very shallow but dynamic candidate.
No, I do not believe Obama's pol's want Romney.....he would be their toughest opponent. They would love to have Newt and so would the media. Its just a matter of time before Newt makes some outlandish statements and those of you who think he is the conservative alternative to Romney are smoking dope.
Remember Newt's national TV joint ad with Pelosi (expressing agreement) on man made global warming? What about amnesty for illegal aliens? Oh, yea, Newt is a pure as snow conservative. Actually...there are, however, two who fit that bill in Santorum and Sarah Palin lite Bachmann. Neither of which would stand a chance against Obama and the MSM. Oh, and then there is Paul who thinks a nuclear armed Iran would be just fine.
Remember Romneycare? Oh,

MB,. and Blonde, just let Beyer prattle on.

We are all aware that the best way to sway people to your side is to insult them, call them idiots, tell them they're nothing but dopers and generally be about as logical as a Paulbot.
Beyer, if I had been waiting to make up my mind about who to support, you've convinced me. Nice job, I'll drop the Mittwit a note to let him know how good of a job you've done. With friends like you, and Romneycare hanging around his neck, he doesn't need any enemies.
Scarborough should penalize himself fifteen yards for piling on.

Bravo Noel for finally realizing Joe is no friend of conservatives and Republicans in general. The only Republican that supports Joe views and who mentions by name often is Sen. Senator Tom Coburn. Needless-to-say, Regarding Freddie and Fannie, Joe has a problem with Newt Gingrich but he allowed Rep. Frank to spew his leftist ideology without objection regarding his role of supporting Freddie and Fannie and causing the housing bubble (see below video).

Why do you keep moving your lips? You produce nothing but CO2. You are an airhead at best, more likely an imbecile. If you're not "tsking" or pouting, you are saying something so banal and irrelevant, it makes me want to dip my spoon into your left ear and get some of that oatmeal that fills your head.
Mika: I can't afford new clothes
Scarborough: Maybe you should get a tin cup and go begging?
Mika: I am going to tell Daddy you're being mean
Scarborough: I am going to tell your daddy you have halitosis
