Thanks Mika Brzezinski, The Women Of 1930 Salute You

I used to give you slack over your Beaten Down Mommy routine you pander every day in your testosterone heavy parade of guests, but c’mon honey, those gams belong to a “working woman” not a Working Woman. And no, I have no problem with you being in great condition, (god bless and more power to ya), but WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT SAY TO EVERYDAY WOMEN when you’re depicted as a scantily clad cabaret chippie dancing for the amusement of the boss man instead of the the (supposed) seasoned journalist your wiki purports?

Is the submissive “So sorry, you’re so right Joe.” “news reader” really reflect the woman who did this?

I guess the money is good, and “news readers” are a dime a dozen, so you figure you have to go along to get along, but man, I’ve never seen such a contradiction of ethos wrapped up into one woman. I guess you figured out your “value”, but it’s one I wouldn’t recommend to my daughters.

In these day that we’re fighting fights that we all thought were won, having stereotypes like this pop up and be validated by the very women who should be the embodiment of the fight against them is scary and self defeating. I doubt if MB gives a crap what a crazy woman from Indiana thinks, but at least I know I’m not the only one. Reconsider Mika. Think about it. Maybe not all of JoeScars’ misogynistic offhands deserve a twitter and a blush. Try standing up, try speaking from truth and for GODSAKES stop being Den Mommy to a bunch of Hi Karate soaked frat boys.

- I have no problem with women being proud of their bodies, of being sexual beings, of any pride situations to health or beauty. I have HONGO problems with female submission, female oppression and even the glossing over of female servitude with the gloss of “sensitivity”. So, Bite Me.

And I’m pissed off she’s Polish. My people are better than this.

    Except for the “Oh, Joe, sigh” routine she does, it seems she is only allowed to use her voice when Joe is not around. So, when I saw that “Knowing Your Value” title, it seems like the campy picture is apropos since her value to the show is all fluff and no stuff.

    You know,when Morning Joe first started,  Mika was a journalist, an equal, and she held her own in serious conversations.  My personal thought?  She’s madly in love with Joe.  I don’t know how else to explain what has happened to her.  That VF pic is just sad.  I’m sure her mother and father are so proud of her.
