In their reaction to Rick Perrys half-hearted foray into birtherism, MSNBCs Morning Joe crew gave a very grim assessment Monday morning of all the Republican presidential candidates. Still in disbelief after the panel reenacted the Texas governors interview with Parade magazine, Mika Brzezinski was forthright in her assessment of the GOP field.
Im disturbed, she told co-host Joe Scarborough. You have a disturbing set of candidates in your party, Im sorry. Its disturbing. Either they are walking around with slogans or theyre crazy.
Scarborough said he had no defense for those seeking the White House in his party.
This is lunacy, he said. People will look back these candidates and just said, What idiots. What total, absolute idiots. Ill suspect well do what Republicans do. All the idiots will be thrown overboard. Well end up nominating the really boring Gerald Ford, Bob Doyle, John McCain type and get Mitt Romney, and maybe lose. Theres got to be some sane conservatives out there.
