Penn Jillette Appalls Joe Scarborough With Old Joke

Loud, shouty, occasional magician Penn Jillette was on MSNBC, talking about politics. Why? It's unclear. He had some misogynistic anti-Hillary joke that became a YouTube thing a while back. Now the joke is old and tired (like HILLARY CLINTON, right??) but Penn dutifully repeated, along with his claim that the fact that the joke went over so well with his crazy audience meant Hil was doomed from day one. He doesn't really seem to think that says anything too terrible about the nation, but whatever. Point is: arbiter of civility Joe Scarborough disapproved. And sad Mika Brzezinski said only, "I don't like that." Clip attached.

Latest by VeeKaChu: Mika's just following the Sexual Harrassment Handbook, Rule #1- "When someone makes a comment in the workplace that is innapropriate and makes you feel uncomfortable, immediately tell them 'I don't like that!'" Notice that he stopped. Good girl. more »

MSNBC Foreign Policy Discussion Doubles As Adorable Father/Daughter Moment

So Mika Brzezinski, the daughter of former National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, is apparently an on-air personality on MSNBC. Today Yesterday on Joe Scarborough's morning show, she co-interviewed her dad. It is a very serious talk about the Iraq war and Dr. Brzezinski's advisory work with Barack Obama, except Mika calls him "dad." Which is cute, but kinda disconcerting. It's a bit like Billy Bush interviewing George H. W. Bush, except with both parties involved being considerably less vile.

Latest by brendastarlet: @lilpupdog: agreed. I've grown semi-fond of the show, for the most part because it isn't stupid. They don't try to wedge spring fashions in with colonoscopy advice and American Idol and world leaders. It's not the strange world of Imus. more »
