A few years ago 'Morning Joe' (weekday, 6 AM ET on MSNBC) co-host Mika Brzezinski gained notoriety and sympathy for refusing to discuss a news item involving Paris Hilton.On Mondays' show, Mika again tried to dismiss a story involving the celebutante. But when it became clear the panel was going to discuss Paris's weekend cocaine arrest, Mika gave in and advanced her theory on what actually happened:
"Why don't they tell the whole story?" Brzezinski wondered. "Paris Hilton's advisers told her to get arrested so she could get back into the stupid news programs."
Joe Scarborough agreed with Mika's assessment, and then New York Magazine political reporter John Heilemann -- a journalist who seemed perfectly happy discussing Hilton -- cracked a joke about Hilton's well known use of Twitter.
"She tweeted beforehand, put coke in bag, get arrested," Heilemann explained.
