Morning Joke™ (The Hysteria Edition)

The last minute of Morning Joke™ on a lovely Monday morning:

Joe Scarborough: What did you learn today , Mika?

Mika Brzezinski: I think I learned we're all being really impatient, REALLY impatient with this economic crisis and we need to give it 6 to 9 months. I do. We're throwing around a lot of hysterical words here. So simmer down.

JS: Well, well so we give Washington 6 to 9 more months to spend a trillion dollars a day?...

MB: They've already spent it.

Mark Halperin: Throw away your stopwatch and get a calendar.

JS: ...The Chinese are going to be moving tanks into Times Square in a week...

Pat Buchanan: My portfolio won't take it.

JS: Can the Dow actually go down into negative territory, Mika, if we're gonna wait six more months?

Way to keep the hysteria down to a minimum, Joe.

Somedays they get more bizarre than others. Today she was just a bit more grounded in reality than not. Her dad must have been after her or something...lol Or it could have been that Joke was in DC and hadn't gotten the GOP talking points memo to her yet.. I am sure she will back on the right track with him tomorrow. They can't let her stray too far.. I did notice they countered her with Maria and Jack GE Welch.. Mr a business can't do more than one thing at a time. That had to be one of the dumbest statements I had heard in a while...lol

This guy Scarborough is a freak. I can't watch him -- I don't have the stomach for it. I don't know how you can take it!

I play a little demented game where I see how long it takes for me to blurt out profanity and blow a gasket while watching Morning Joe. I've never gone past the one minute mark.
