Hell Hath No Fury Like a Pissed Off Co-Host

11/29/2017

Sometimes it's just fun to watch someone go on a well-deserved rant and leave the others around them speechless.

This is from yesterday on MSNBC's Morning Joe.  Usually, it's Joe Scarborough who goes on the rants, and Mika Brzezinski is the more fact-based analyst.  But after playing video of Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders defending Trump's racist remarks, Brzezinski had enough.  But the joy is not only watching Scarborough's bemused reaction to his normally low-key co-host, but also how she keeps saying she's finished, but can't contain her anger.

If you've already seen the Press Secretary's comments and can't bear sitting through them again, just jump to the 1:11 mark.

I don't usually like the notion of referencing someone's children as a rhetorical device in criticizing their actions or words. But I have to say that I've been thinking about this a lot lately with respect to Administration officials like Sanders and Conway. (I mention them because they seem to be the ones who bring their children into the public conversation. I suppose that the same questions, however, can and should be asked about the male enablers in the Administration.) The issues here aren't just about policy; so much with Trump is really about morality, character, truthfulness and the like. I really wonder if Sanders and Conway, who are the most visible spokespersons, realize the moral quagmire they have fallen into; I suspect that they do. I would like to think that they are thinking about how they will explain their role to their children years from now. It's going to be interesting to see how long any of these people last in office.

Interesting question. My perception is that Conway might have more realization than Sanders. Conway comes across as flailing, arguing which suggests somewhat of an awareness of other options. She's the one who used "alternative facts," which suggests an aware of facts. Sanders seems like a cult member. Convinced that every word she says is true, at least when it leaves her mouth.

Who knows? It's all pretty soulless.
