It's likely Meghan will be coming into work in traction tomorrow, what with all the patting herself on the back (5 different times!) for being "so brave" in expressing her opinion. I also agree that Mayor Pete was saying he wasn't asking for the woman's vote because he wasn't campaigning at that moment. It wasn't the appropriate time to be asking for anyone's vote. I love Joy, but saying that governors and mayors shouldn't run for president until all the problems are fixed was ridiculous, frankly. Show me someplace that has zero problems.

Oh, how I wish someone had asked Meghan if the "tribal right" would go for it (bipartisanship).

So, since Meghan doesn't have kids, she can't possibly empathize with someone whose kid was yelled at by an adult for being noisy while playing outside on the beach?!

When they were discussing insinuations being made about presidential candidates' health, and Meghan snidely said that it had been done to Michele Bachmann by Chris Cillizza, I wondered what that was about, so I googled it, and came across a column of his in the Washington Post from 7/20/11 entitled "Michele Bachmann's Headaches". He quoted articles from the New York Times and Politico published that same day that were about Bachmann suffering from migraines. Her staff didn't deny that she had migraines, but said they didn't affect her job performance. Former staff members disagreed, and said that they could be debilitating, and had caused her to miss votes and other events. First, this is different than making up poor health claims out of whole cloth. Second, Meghan made it sound like Chris Cillizza had been the one solely responsible for bringing this issue to the public's attention. I remember reading here that Meghan responded to someone on Twitter who criticized her for not getting her facts straight that she wasn't a journalist. That should have nothing to do with being accurate. Almost all of the hosts get things wrong here and there, usually through carelessness, unfortunately, but Meghan seems like she just wants to score points for her side; if the facts aren't there, she doesn't care.

I'm pretty sure Meghan was dissing Nicolle Wallace when she mentioned seeing someone ask Beto O'Rourke how the media could cover him better, and that she thought it was a ridiculous question. Beto was on Nicolle's show in the last week or two, and I do think she asked him that. I'm surprised Meghan watches it, quite frankly. Only in her dreams could she anchor a show solo with the ease that Nicolle does.
