How can you get MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski to make a qualifications-over-gender argument? Based on her performance Thursday, you force her to defend President Barack Obama.
On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Thursday, Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough sparred over Obama’s cabinet picks for his second term, which have been all male thus far as highlighted by a front-page photograph on Wednesday’s New York Times. Scarborough suggested Obama should follow former Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s plan to include women in his Cabinet to Brzezinski, a strategy for which Romney was maligned.
SCARBOROUGH: So Mika, I think Mitt Romney should FedEx that binder of women that he has to Barack Obama.
BRZEZINSKI: Oh, please. No. he’s fine.
SCARBOROUGH: They’re binders. It’s different now.
BRZEZINSKI: No, it’s not different.
SCARBOROUGH: Now it’s different because Barack Obama obviously doesn’t know any qualified women to serve in his cabinet. Mitt Romney’s got binders of women that are qualified to serve.
JON MEACHAM: He widened the search and was mocked.
