re: Morning Joe Adores 'Mayor Pete,' Takes Swipes at Hillary, Beto

quote: "Hero." "Echoes of the Kennedys." "Very inspiring." "Good in every way." "Witty, charming, human, compassionate." You get the idea. In the wake of his announcement speech of yesterday, today's Morning Joe was a veritable Pete Buttigieg love-in. In addition to Joe and Mika singing his praises, all the panelists joined in the chorus. And beyond the glorification of Buttigieg, there were pointed shots taken at the candidacies of Hillary Clinton and Beto O'Rourke. Donny Deutsch, who called Buttigieg a "hero," said that no one would have used the word for Hillary. And Mika suggested that "putting it kindly," Democrats "missed the mark last time around " by nominating Hillary. Brzezinski also complained that the notion of Beto O'Rourke as the Kennedyesque candidate has been "forced on me . . . you feel this sort of contrived candidacy." In contrast, claimed Mika, "Mayor Pete feels much more natural, real."

As a Christian I would never do it but if Joe pointed at his mug and told me to take one shot it would only be by the power of the Holy Spirit I would refrain. If Joe's sidekick Donnie "Douche" Deutsch gave me the same opportunity I'm probably uncorking from the knees with a an right uppercut.
