Just wondering

Mika really gets on my nerves. I think she's still grasping for some kind of relevancy on the show. Some days she just parrots Joe's Republican talking points... other days she just makes weird faces as other people talk.

I really don't think she qualifies as a Liberal, and some of her remarks call into doubt her status as a "deep thinker".

Joe treats her like a dumb blonde. One of these days she should just slap him and say, just kidding.
She has lost her seat at the table and must try to regain it without upsetting Joe.

Mika and Joe don't even have a Sean Hannity-Alan Colmes onscreen relationship, which pretended to be an adversarial one with the two participants "squabbling," even though it was always clear that Sean was the man. I'd say the Mika-Joe onscreen relationship is more like that of Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin, two people who, at worst, very gently rib each other while making it clear that they're friends.
