Since most of you wouldn’t lower your standards to watch MSNBC, I thought I would tell you about an exchange of the talking heads on “Morning Joe” this week.
MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski referred to Sen. Marco Rubio as “a little boy” on Morning Joe. Would she have called Barack Obama a “boy” in 2008? (Win McNamee/Getty Images)
Donny Deutsch, an admitted Democrat, posed the situation. “The Putin test. Who do you want to see across the table?”
“That’s not even – this is not even conversation. She (Hillary Clinton) eats him for lunch. Come on,” says Mika Brzezinski, the co-host.
Joe Scarborough tries to insert the names of Barack Obama and John McCain, only to be interrupted by Brzezinski, who exclaims, “No, like Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio. There is no comparison. Maybe this is my ideology, but I’m sorry, but that’s a little boy and that’s an experienced accomplished person who’s been elected to the Senate twice, who served as First Lady, who served as Secretary of State.”
Mika, Mika, Mika. Yes, it is your fawning ideology. Your inclination that Hillary would eat Putin for lunch couldn’t be more far-fetched. Have you forgotten “the reset” fiasco?
“Can you imagine if in 2008 a prominent conservative media member had said that Barack Obama looked like a ‘little boy’ compared to John McCain?” asked Mark Finkelstein of NewsBusters. “Of course referring to Obama as a “boy” would come with its own ammunition,” he added, ”but the point is well-taken all the same.”
While this may have looked like a group of old white guys, the majority of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention were 42 years of age or younger. (fromthetrenchesworldreport.com)
During a discussion on Brzezinski’s ridiculous statement, my wife reminded me that most of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787 were Rubio’s age (42) or younger. Fourteen were in their 30s and four in their 20s. Alexander Hamilton was just 30, and James Madison was 36.
Need Mika be reminded that President Theodore Roosevelt was 42 when he took office?
Hillary will be 69 in 2016. So what! It’s unfortunate that she has so few accomplishments to show for her years of service.
