Mika Brzezinski: ‘There Is No Parallel’ Between Christie Scandal and Obama’s Scandals

Mika Demands: Stick To Christie Bridge Scandal, No Obama/IRS-Benghazi 'Distractions' (NewsBusters)

We got ourselves a good Republican scandal here, and we're sticking with it.  No distractions about President Obama and his culpability in the IRS and Benghazi matters. Capiche?

That was Mika Brezinski's message on Morning Joe today. When Mark Halperin mentioned that President Obama has never subjected himself to the kind of intense media grilling on Benghazi and the IRS that Chris Christie underwent on the bridge scandal during his 109-minute press conference, Mika laid down the law. Bringing up Benghazi and the IRS is "flailing for some sort of distraction.  It's Chris Christie.  It's New Jersey. Stick to that story," she ordered. The MSM at large will be only to happy to comply. View the video after the jump.
