On "Morning Joe" this morning, Mika's dad weighed in on Barack Obama, Iraq, and why Mamie Eisenhower wouldn't have made a credible candidate for president, and neither would his travel agent...
Here's the transcript: TUCKER CARLSON: Dr. Brzezinski, it's Tucker Carlson ... I wonder what you make of Hillary Clinton's point, made over and over again that Barack Obama just has no experience, and we've taken this flier on a president eight years ago who had no international experience, no foreign policy experience, and that's been a disaster, and we can't afford to do that again.
DR. BRZEZINSKI: Well I sort of don't take that very seriously. She says she has been to 80 countries on trips. Well, my travel agent has been to over 150 countries on trips. That doesn't qualify her to be president. (laughter) She says she spent 35 years working for the public. Well when you look very closely, that's 35 years she left law school. She spent a lot of time essentially lobbying, dealing, enrich-ming (sic) and public service, it's a combination of all of these, but there's certainly not one that stands out that's decisive. Look; if John Kennedy, who was running for the presidency in 1960 when Eisenhower couldn't run again... if he had been running, not against Nixon, but against Mamie Eisenhower, would someone say that Mamie Eisenhower is better prepared to be president than John Kennedy? I mean, being the wife of a president does not make you ready to be president.
TUCKER: I stand back in awe ... I stand back in awe .. You have just ... you know I wish we had a Clinton surrogate on so we could see the shade of that person's face, it would probably be crimson... that's devastating... (laughter)
JOE SCARBOROUGH: ... travel agents and Mamie Eisenhower .. somewhere Jamie Rubin is in a fetal position...
