Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski are both pretty accomplished media powerhouses. So it makes sense that in a photo of the two of them featured in this month's Vanity Fair, they'd both be posed similarly. Ha! Just kidding. They put Mika on a tabletop kicking her leg in the air and gazing back inscrutably at Joe, who…
Last night, news broke that Yahoo's new CEO — former Google fixture Marissa Mayer — is six months pregnant. Her new employer was fully aware of the pregnancy when they brought her on, and did it anyway. They didn't care. Zero fucks given. Congratulations and "atta girl"'s echoed through the Twitter echo chamber. But…
Colin Powell has never been one to hold his tongue if he disagrees with the Republican party on something—witness his endorsement of Barack Obama in 2008, for instance. And while he's said he's not yet ready to endorse Obama this time around, he doesn't seem to be leaping at the chance to support Mitt Romney either.
Rick Santorum went on MSNBC's Morning Joe this morning where Joe Scarborough asked him if he regrets bringing the issue of contraception into his campaign. Rickles got flustered and turned pissy fast. He said, "I've never had any record or anything about talking about access to contraception." Umm. Not to cross you,…

The woman who tried to set a news brief about Paris Hilton on fire is once again infuriated that her co-hosts would have the audacity to relay news about popular culture.
Sarah Jessica Parker wants to talk about Joe Scarborough's political ideology. Also, she thinks he's in love with Obama. What was that about her new movie? "It's far less interesting than this conversation," Parker said on MSNBC this morning.
On Morning Joe, veteran reporter Helen Thomas advised Obama and staff to lay off the organization, saying "stay out of these fights... They can only take you down. You can't kill the messenger." [Newsbusters]
Today on The View guest co-host Mika Brzezinski admitted her Morning Joe co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mike Barnicle can be sexist, but said, "you can't take it too seriously." After reviewing Morning Joe's track record, we can't say we agree!
This morning on Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski said viewers wouldn't accept a woman anchor, Joe Scarborough stammered about double standards, and Dan Rather schooled them both.
Since members of GOP can't exactly win elections, change the minds of voters or influence policy, they've got time on their hands, so they're learning Photoshop and politics along with HuffPo's Jason Linkins and I. (But we're better at both.)
Elaine Donnelly is a crazy right-wing lady who hates the idea of gays in the military so much that she just can't stop thinking about all the perverted things they do to one another and how other completely heterosexual people like her might get caught up in homosexual behavior. And if that sounds like the start to,…
