MIKA AND JOE

This morning on Morning Joe on MSNBC the network who the Christie administration claims is a bastion of liberal ideas who is out to get them. Joe Scarborough and his side kick Mika Brzezinski attacked the mayor of Hoboken about the way she came forward and claimed that the Christie administration tried to tie Sandy relief funds to her endorsing a certain development that they wanted. Scarborough the host had the balls to say he found the way the mayor brought these accusations more disgusting that the way the administration might have tried to coerce the mayor into endorsing the project they wanted. This is disgusting. Trying to and it seems keeping money from the city to prepare for the next disaster and help fix the recent disaster is the far greater sin The thing that bothered me the most was Mika a self confessed friend of Governor Christie and his wife questioning the mayor's reasons for doing this now. She said she would have confronted those persons who tried to intimidate her at the time. From what I have seen of Mika she can't even stand up to Joe. He pushes her around at his leisure and seems to really enjoy it. For her to say that the mayor saying nice things about Christie and then saying what his administration did at a later date is problematic is asinine. People react to adversity in different ways. The mayor wanted and needed the money for her city, at the same time she knew what was asked of her was wrong. She had a moral dilemma. She dealt with it in her own way. When the bridge scandal emerged she probably thought she might have a better chance of being believed than when she was first asked to do their bidding.
