Mika: 'I've Gutted a Deer'

September 26th, 2008 10:17 AM
Have we had it all wrong about Mika Brzezinski?  All this time we've pigeon-holed her as part of the Eastern liberal media elite, was she in fact secretly part of the Sarah Palin demographic?  It's not quite field-dressing a moose, but Mika let it be known today that she knows how to hunt and . . . has "gutted a deer."

The revelation came as Mika and Joe Scarborough were saying goodbye to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who, by the way, seemed optimistic that John McCain would make it to Mississippi for tonight's debate.

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Lindsey, good seeing you again.  I will see you very soon.

LINDSEY GRAHAM: We'll go hunting.

SCARBOROUGH: Ah, maybe not, I care about everybody.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Joe, I don't ever want to see you fire a shotgun. But I could go hunting with the senator, I've gutted a deer, and, you know, I can handle it.  You? Not so much.

SCARBOROUGH: Keep guns out of my hands.  Dangerous.
Given this remarkable revelation, could there be more surprising disclosures about Mika to come? Member of the Women's Bassmaster Tour , perhaps?  For that matter, could "Susan Butcher Manley" be Mika's nom-de-musher as the three-time winner of Alaska's Iditarod dogsled race?
