Via TPM: The National Rifle Association is scheduled to hold a press conference Friday at 10:45 a.m. ET at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre is also scheduled to appear on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday morning. My prediction: The NRA will blame video games, Hollywood and probably mental illness. […]
The Men Of Morning Joe Mansplain Women Issues To Mika
How Mika didn’t pull a Tagg Romney is beyond me. This morning Mika brought up the fact that Mitt Romney lied about the binders. Here’s the lie:
ROMNEY: And I — and I went to my staff, and I said, “How come all the people for these jobs are — are all men.” They said, “Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.” And I said, “Well, gosh, can’t we — can’t we find some — some women that are also qualified?”
And — and so we — we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.
I went to a number of women’s groups and said, “Can you help us find folks,” and they brought us whole binders full of women.
Mika pointed out that this was a lie.
Whoa! That was simply too much for the men of Morning Joe. How dare she bring up something that the men declared unimportant; how dare she point out that Mitt lied again. Joe Scarborough declared the women in binders topic ridiculous and desperate – which tells me that he’s afraid of it. Mark Halperin stated that “that’s not what this election should be about” and how they “shouldn’t be parsing individual statements said live during a debate” and asked, wistfully, if we could just talk policy for the next three weeks. I intend to hold him to that.
Chris Matthews Calls Out Reince Priebus
I normally don’t watch Morning Joe because Joe and Mika drive me nuts. However, I had it on this morning and watched Chris Matthews give Reince Priebus a spanking.
The MSNBC host criticized Romney’s birther joke, his consistant claims that Obama is a foreigner, and argued that the campaign has sought to foreignize the president. Priebus defended the party by claiming that Obama’s health and economic policies are European, but Matthews quickly dismissed the claim.
