I was puffing on my rowing machine this a.m. contemplating my fingernails expertly lacquered with Chanel's Spring 2009 "Vendetta" (purple-black) and nearly dropped my clove cigarette when Mika Brzezinski wrapped up MSNBC's "Morning Joe" with "Our best to chickie baby." That would be me. I think. Chickaboomer. For the boot thing yesterday. Mika does have a collection of fabulous boots. Personally, I prefer above-the-thigh jack boots... Thanks, Mika. You gave this chick a kick.
Marty,
ReplyDeleteThey are following Imus every morning on 77WABC in fact Bernie has filled in for Joe a couple of times.
Annual Kiss Me I’m Imus, coming up March 17th St Patrick’s Day. Also the annual gift giving of the Bowl of Shamrocks from the Irish Representative to the President of the USA, let's hope this goes over better then the visit from Gordon Brown and the 25 DVDs, and O'Bama's Irish Roots.

Obama is going to give the Irish Representative a copy of U2's latest CD (there are plenty to be had, I've heard) and a VHS tape of U2's weeklong appearances on Letterman.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Mika was pulling my leg (pun intended).
ReplyDeleteI have said it before: I like Mika. She's really smart, gorgeous, and doesn't take any shit from anyone. I adore ballsy women. In my book she's got what it takes and is a leg up on any other chick in that daypart (I'm sounding like radio) or any daypart for that matter. I like that she pokes fun at herself. She said something this a.m. about being Mommy on Prednezone... Other references to yellow pills (Valium) are amusing and humanizing.
I had the greatest respect for her dad, Zbigniew. I think he was Jimmy Carter's National Security Adviser when I wrote him a letter while in grad school at American Univ. in DC.
In a return letter Dr. Brzezinski refused to comment on the political scenario I'd set up in Iran. We're talking 1979 during the hostage thing.
If I can recall Dr. B's words (I had his letter framed and put it on my office wall): "The scenario you describe is too close to reality" or something like that.
My U.S. Foreign Policy course professor was the late Sidney Sober - who claimed he was CIA Station Chief in Pakistan. I think he was acting Station Chief. The class had a few students with State Department cover and military cover. One guy ended up in what we thought was a suicide mission in Afghanistan (his wife had left him or something). I once went to a CIA party at his house in Woodbridge, Virginia. Nobody talked to each other. A name of somebody famous or infamous was pinned on our backs and everyone spent the whole night attempting to guess and ferret for clues. One clever way to avoid talking about yourself. My then-husband and I were the only non-CIA there.
So to all the commenters who have said in the past they don't think I like Mika: you're so far off the mark. She's like about the only cable TV news, network news woman with beauty, brains, boobs, balls, and humor
She also seems to have done quite well for herself without too much relying on or running from her famous daddy's name.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't know anything.
I don't know, either, Al. She has done well for herself and doesn't appear to rely on her famous daddy although he appears from time to time on Morning Joe.
ReplyDeleteUnlike that ladysnake Maria Shriver who held NBC News balless brass hostage when they wanted to dump her and paid her for no work for I can't recall how long. Enter Maria Shriver (not literally) into the CB box and somewhere there is the story...
