This has always been the problem I have had with doctors who go on to become celebrities. They really start to believe their own press and that they have been endowed with special powers because they have a segment on a TV news program or because Oprah has touted them as the greatest thing since pizza and beer. It's gratifying that like Dr. Oz, she is being called out on her self-aggrandizing quackery. It doesn't take a medical degree to know that even if a person is asymptomatic, she can still carry the virus which has an incubation period. Like someone really wants her germs!
This shit again! Joe--there was a reason that voters across the country rejected Mitt Romney, who would have surrounded himself with the same reactionary right-wing idiots who got us into Iraq in the first place, which ultimately led to the destabilization of the region. I won't even touch on the fact that this guy is a serial liar, supremely arrogant and simply can't be trusted. Just once I would appreciate it if people asked those Iowa voters this crucial question: If we were to commit to ground troops in Syria and Russia, are you willing to have your taxes raised to pay for these never-ending military ventures?
One would think that after the debacle in 2012 (for the GOP, that is) that they would be hesitant about jumping on whatever poll happens to give them the results they want to hear. I guess their devastation on election night 2012 is a distant memory. I've lost count of the number of times corporate media and professional pollsters have written President Obama's political obituary only to wind up with egg on their faces. Just like before, these pollsters use terms such as "57% of Americans disapprove of the job President Obama is doing to fight ISIS and want ground troops." I sure would like to know who these people are because no one sure as hell asked me want I wanted. Yet, what they won't tell you is that 1000 people were actually polled; that the wording of the questions was subjective depending on the result the pollsters wanted (i.e., Wall Street Journal/NBC, etc.); or the party affiliation, age demographic or racial makeup of those being polled. This is exactly how Gallup got into trouble and had their credibility shot especially when Romney and his supporters (including Joe) relied heavily on polls that indicated he would sail to victory. No one took into consideration early voters (who typically lean Democratic), the Obama campaign's ground game, or those pesky "urban voters" the GOP has been trying to suppress. It would be refreshing if just once when journalists trot out these poll numbers they would use phrasing such as, "out of 1000 people polled, 57% of them said..." instead of making it seem as if that 57% spoke for all Americans. Not once has anyone ever contacted me or anyone I know to ask us what we think! Heck, even Family Feud uses the phrase, "out of 100 people surveyed, X number of people said..."
Joe wants a certain result and has repeatedly shown that he will embrace any poll numbers that validate what he wants to hear.
Agreed. The panel & Joe have to stop getting hyper over every poll that comes to their attention.They don't check the poll's credibility etc.
I think they have become lazy as the show goes on by relying on the friends they meet at cocktail parties for their research.

Mini recap.
Another case of ebola in texas. Joe is mad at mindless chatteres on cable news who are worried enough about ebola. He wants travel bans.
Joe is in an undisclosed studio wearing a sportsjacket over a red fleece top.
Joe is mad at Assad for bombing the rebels who are supposed to be fighting isis. Joe is mad at tyrkey for not helping fight isis.
Joe said Obama is isolated . there is more support or ground troops to fight isis.
Mika talked about Ann Romney & Columba bush. Joe said Bush & Christie aren't popular in the polls.
Michael Steele said people are on the sidelines.

Dr. Nancy is a piece of work. From what I've read she was in the back seat of her car with another "team" member while another member of the quarantine crew ran in to pick up the take out order. Her fake apology was that she was sorry that people got upset...not that they violated quarantine. She took no personal responsibility referring only to "some" members of the team violated the voluntary quarantine. NBC should be ashamed for reporting and reading her statement. It's clear that the CDC isn't exactly sure how this virus is slipping past their protocols but Dr. Nancy thinks it's fine to reassure the public that they have no symptoms so everything is FINE.
I feel very sorry for the restaurant workers and patrons that will be filled with fear (right or wrong) and I've gotta believe that business will suffer since the name and location of the restaurant is being widely reported.
NBC fire her ass!
Very good points. Dr. Nancy should know better than to violate the quarantine. Why couldn't she stay at home & wait for her soup?
More bad news for Msnbc. According to one report they may cancel Ronan Farrow's afternoon show next month. The ratings aren't much higher than Morning Joe.
Will Morning Joe survive till the 2016 elections?
I am very disappointed that they haven't done any serious analysis of the midterms except for sending Casy Hunt out on one field trip.
Politics is the show' specialty. Joe acts as if he has no clue what's going in various races.
-
Dr Nancy has acknowledged that some people on her team violated the quarantine.
"This is the type of shit that drives me totally batty about the Democrats. Their cowardly, chickenshit political calculation in distancing themselves from President Obama resonates with the very voters they hope to rely on. Yet, they have no problem whatsoever flooding people's email in-boxes with incessant requests for donations"
Very good point. Gries refusal to endorse Obama will cost her votes with loyal democrats. She won't get GOP votes so she looks silly.
It's pretty dumb for Mika & Joe to admit that they get all their research info about Romney & Christie from cocktail parties that they attend, because it makes them look shallow.
On a positive note, they had a good interview with an author at the end of the show who was in Afghanistan.

Mini Recap.
The first clips were of the Grimes McConnell debate. Grimes refused to say if she voted for Obama. MCconnel said he voted for Romney. Joe said that it was stupid for her not to declare that she voted for Obama.
The Vatican is now more supportive of gay marriage & civil unions. Barnicle said the Pope is opening windows.
Joe said everybody is a sinner & starting talking about being a Baptist.
Joe stunned the panel by saying that everybody knows that Chris Christie can't win in 2016. Mika was upset & said she would make Joe walk it back.
Joe said Jeb Bush is doing poorly in the polls .
Joe said he thinks Romney will run in 2016. Halperin agreed. Halerin said his research shows that Romney will probably run. Mika & Joe said they poke to people at cocktail parties to get their information.
Joe was stuned that Mark Cotton is not ahead by 10 points in Arkansas.
Joe aid republicans aren't popular .
Eugene said Democrats are more disliked than republicans now, so even if they take back the senate it will be based on low turnout.
Mika was happy that kids couldn't bring cupcakes to school in Kentucky.
Eugene said the war against ISIS isn't working. No shock or awe. Eugene said they shouldn't spot them Kobane or Anbar province.
Halperin said if ISIS takes over Baghdad it would hurt Democrats in the mid terms.
No mention of Dr Nancy breaking the quarantine on NBC yet.

I was catching up with Friday's show on my DVR. There was a fashion segment with Mika interviewing Andre Leon Talley. Mika complained that her kids liked him but ignored all the the celebrities who were at his fashion show. Mika said her kids were bored by Kate Upton 7 Whoopi Goldberg.
The segment was OK until Joe showed up as a model in his blue fleece top & maroon pajama pants trying to fall down on the stage.
It's weird. How does he expect anyone to take him seriously on Meet The Press when he wears pajama pants to his own show.?
At the end of the show they announced that Jon Tower who has worked on Morning Joe & Scarboro Country with Joe for 10 years will be leaving the show for CBS this morning.
Joe said he looks forward to working with Jon in the near future.
I wonder if Joe will leave for CBS?

Morning Joe on a holiday? Red Fleece Joe & Mika were together today. Mika wore a nice dress. Willie was dressed in a suit. Joe likes the KC Royals. Heileman was there.
Joe asked Willie for an NFL update . Joe is boycotting watching NFL games.
Joe is upset at the CDC over the second Ebola case. He thinks its easier to get EBOLA than what the CDC says.
Joe is mad at Turkey for letting ISIS is gain ground in Anbar Province, & Kobani. Joe said ISIS is getting close to bagdad.
Joe said the generals want ground troops but Obama is reluctant to send them there.
Joe is mad at Karzai in Afghanistan.
Joe is mad at Malicki in Iraq for treating Sunnis poorly , so they are supporting Isis because they are afraid of the Shia armies.
Joe was excited about the polls that show Hillary in a tight race in Iowa. Romney leads Hillary but she is beating Bush & Christie.
I noticed that Mika & Joe don't talk about Christie & Jeb Bush as much anymore.
Mika was upset that Bill Clinton gets a pass for his behavior with females.
Heileman said that Bill & Hillary are taking over the democratic party.
Joe said Obama doesn't like most people & politics.
Joe said Bush liked people but not politics.
Joe said Clinton likes politics & people.
Joe is mad at the washington post for predicting a 95% chance that the GOP controls the senate.
He said its too son to know who will win. He mocked Nate Silver as well which is strange because Nate was right about Obama winning in 2012.

"As for Chuck Todd kicking Joe off MTP...would he even have the power to do that? It's his show, but I imagine network bigwigs are in charge of that. What they are thinking though, I don't know"
I think it's embarrassing that NBC leaked the news that Jon Stewart was their first choice for Meet The Press. Chuck Todd & the rest of the NBC News journalists must be mortified at the thought that they can be replaced by a comedian.
Today's show was weird with Joe in an undisclosed studio & doing a commercial for Spotify in Brooklyn. What was the point of that segment? I suppose it was nice of the company to let Joe show off his musical talents with his guitar.
What's next? Sing along with Joe & Mika?

Joe went on a rant today. He said the USA should use overwhelming force against ISIS. ISIS is gaining control of Kobani. Joe is mad at Turkey for not helping out.
Joe defended the police for smashing the car windows in Indiana. Mika sympathized with the screaming kids. Joe said they should have followed police orders to open the door.
Joe wanted cameras on the police officer.

On a positive note, I enjoyed the segment with Kasie Hunt in Arkansas. She interviewed Mark Pryr & produced a story on what is happening in Arkansas. Pryor botched the interview & Mika & Joe were laughing at his poor anwers, but nevertheless it' more interesting to watch than Joe pontificating on a poll number which could be wrong.
Joe mocked Bill Clinton' use of the Arkansas lyrics. He said it was Elvis in Vegas.
I think Morning Joe should go on the road & do shows from each of the key senate races & have both candidates appear & do an in depth analysis of what is happening in each state.
Morning Joe should stop the kangaroo fighting clips & Mika being an Orioles fan or Joe being a Royals fan. That is ridiculous.
The show will do better ratings wise when it goes back to covering politics with good guests.
I think they should have more segments with Kasie Hunt as a roving field reporter.

Mika & Joe were dressed in matching green sweaters. Joe felt awkward so he walked off the set to change into a navy blue blazer. There are new polls!. Allyson Grimes is leading Mitch Mcconnell. Democrats are doing better than expected. Joe said Obama was oblivious a month ago to the beheadings. Now that Obama is paying
attention, Joe said they are doing better. The new panelist said the Democratic Senatorial candidates are distancing themselves from Obama so they are not losing anti Obama voters.
It seems to me that Joe & Mika should invite the candidates onto the show to see what is going on in those races rather than just commenting on random polls without analyzing any issues in those states.

I hope Chuck Todd bans Joe from MTP. Joe just took over yesterday and shouted over everyone. All Chuck Todd could repeatedly say was "Come on guys". How about Chuck tells Joe to STFU?
Agreed. Joe isn't suited to this type of panel discussion. Joe is used to shouting down guests on his own show. What was NBC thinking?

Joe was gleeful over his MTP appearance which is odd. He said that Axelrod & Ifill are like Chief Wiggum "nothing to see here folks" in the Simpsons.
Joe said Ebola was a crisis.
Joe got mad at Ben Affleck for not knowing bout muslim extremism. Joe tried to goad Moyadin into denouncing muslim extremism.
Moyadin was upset about the crusades.
Joe wanted to know if muslim extremism is the biggest problem. There was a guy from the NY times who complained about global warming.
Mika has a new favourite baseball team, the Orioles She got a cap & said her daughter goes to John Hopkins.
Axelrod said Joe is sensitive. Mika said Axlrod is her friend. Mika changed into a navy blue top around 6:30 am.
Axelrod came on & Joe starting shouting about asking tough questions. Joe is mad at the world health organization.
Axelrod told Joe to stop putting words in my mouth. Joe said stop taking cheap shots.
It's chaotic on the set. Luckily there is a new opening montage with pictures of Joe & Mika in various poses in NYC.
Joe likes Mustangs. Very strange opening montage.

Joe's behavior on Meet the Press is being criticized today. Joe should realize that he can't shout at other panelists.

I expect to see angry Joe tomorrow. He was mocked by David Axelrod on Meet the Press. David called him Dr. Scarborough after Joe insulted the medical experts who were discussing the Ebola crisis. Joe said his friends in the Liberian government told him it was going to be a bad epidemic a year ago.

Sheinelle joined the Weekend Today Show. The cast went out of their way to welcome her.

The director of the secret service resigned, Mika has been vindicated. Mika thought she was being controversial for questioning the competence of an alleged "token" hire. Donny Deutsche said competence was a priority when you select a director of the secret service. It seems to me that there were too many incidents reported since she took over. Also, it looks like they didn't release correct information about Gonzalez. They didn't report that he was running wild inside the White House. The cover up is very damaging & she should have never approved that press release .
It was hilarious watching Mika getting outraged while looking at the director's resume online as if she had discovered something scandalous when in fact there was nothing out of line.
Did anyone catch the new glamour shot of Mika & Joe lying together in a convertible. ? It's bizarre. Mika was wearing her new leopard spotted pants.

Is That what Joe said? The guy wasn't trying to convert workers to Islam, he was trying to convert them to Al Qaida or ISIL type terrorism.
The reports I read did not mention anything about ISIS.

I agree that he was mentally ill.

Richard Engel is surprised that the us intelligence service for missing the rise of the extremists. Engel said everyone knew what was happening in Syria.
It took 4 days for the secret service to realize that bullets had hit the white house. The supervisor thought it was construction related.

Joe' morning rant was dedicated to the guy in Oklahoma who beheaded a former coworker . He was trying to convert coworkers to islam & was fired.
Joe blamed the FBI for calling it workplace violence. Joe was mad at the secret service for the attacks on the white house.
Joe was mad at the yankee fan who were at fenway yesterday. Joe is a season ticket holder.
Ira moyadin supports a marshall plan for gaza. Kim Ghattas from BBC supports other arab countries boots on the ground.
Willie cut himself with a kitchen knife.

Joe started rambling about watching star wars movies with his 6 year old son Jack. Jack likes ewoks. Joe was happy that his son likes star wars movies . Mika was confused by star wars & refuses to watch them so she started looking at her laptop to see what was happening with an espn blog. She was sipping from her coffee cup with a straw while doing this. It's unprofessional. Joe & Heileman started impersonating Yoda. Joe asked Samantha powers about her favourite star wars line of dialogue.
It's absurd that Joe gets paid 100K a week to do bad star wars impersonations.

Mika had a sore throat today. Joe defended Obama's speech. Heileman said Obama is more Bush like than he left or right will admit.
Willie's family works for ESPN so he couldn't say too much about Simmons being suspended for claiming that NFL Commish Goodell is a liar.
Joe wanted MSNBC to suspend him with pay for 31/2 years . He wished he could say something nasty like Ventura did for msnbc & get paid to quit.
Joe did several segments impersonating Jesse Ventura. MSNBC fired him after a show but paid him 2 million.
It was nice to see Heileman again.
Morning Joe: All Episodes Talk
in Morning Joe
Cackles is back today & she is feisty. cackles was arguing with the medical specialist about not being prepared for ebola. cakles said she saw the movie outbreak from 1995 & this is a likely scenario. The medical specialist told her not to believe everything in hollywood movies.
Mika is upset that the orioles lost.
Joe is awol.
