Another one-on-one from Big Head DC columnist Puck Head:
MSNBC newsreader Mika Brzezinski has received loads of buzz since she refused earlier this month to read a Paris Hilton story, on air. Which, in itself, was a kind of arrogant, we thought at the time, but then we sort of forgot about her, thinking her to be some poor reporter trying to make a name for herself.
Until this morning that is, when some tipsters started writing in, telling us that she seems to revel in providing constant reminders that she’s from a rather ritzy section of McLean, Va., having moved there as an adolescent in 1975 when her dad Zbigniew Brzezinski was named National Security Advisor by President Jimmy Carter.
She’s also mentioned that she later went to high school at the private all-female Madeira School, which counts Stockard Channing, WaPo’s Kathleen Graham and Project Runway’s Wendy Pepper among its alums. Annual tuition is currently $40,830 for boarding students who attend the school.
Mika ended up marrying NYC-based reporter Jim Hoffer, which was noted in one of those exclusive NY Times wedding announcements in 1993. And since her Paris antics, she has reportedly signed a firm deal with MSNBC, which provides her over 500K a year to continue reading the news.
Needless to say, we will never think of Mika as poor ever again.

She has horrible posture, too.
she is smoking hot. and i would say that ‘constant reminders’ about her upbringing are a bit of a stretch.
Isn’t Madieria the school that Jean Harris was at?
Yes. Thanks for the reminder: “Jean Harris (b. Jean Struven in Cleveland on April 27, 1923) was the headmistress of The Madeira School for girls in McLean, Virginia who made national news in 1980 as the defendant in a high-profile murder case of her ex-lover Dr. Herman Tarnower, the well-known cardiologist and author of the best-selling book The Scarsdale Diet,” according to Wikipedia.
Annette Benng played her in the movie.
I wonder if Mika knew her? Someone should ask her!
OK!
Did anyone see the WaPo article last year that detailed her father’s refusal to let McLean put a sidewalk through his front yard? I think it referred to his house as “modest” compared to the other mansions on the street. We all know what “modest” means.
Daddy seems just as bitchy as his daughter:

Come to think of it, Mika has bitched on air about McLean McMansions. And here’s what Daddy B says:
He bought his five-acre estate, with its relatively modest, older house, nearly 30 years ago. He doesn’t much care for the mansions going up all around him, saying in an interview that they are “reflective of cultural pretension and pomposity” and “make the whole area look like a joke, a Disneyland imitation of the European aristocracy, without the land.”
Wow! Daddy sure can be nasty! I like the way the article calls his hous “modest” and “older”. Ouch!!
Yes, Daddy was indeed more than a little “nasty”!
I recall that with the financial and military help of Jimmy Carter, following the advice of Daddy Brzezinski, Afghanistian was handed over to the Taliban. How many billions have been spent and how many hundreds have been killed and wounded as as result of that decision?
The interview:
Brzezinski: Regret what? That secret operation was an excellent idea.
It had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap and
you want me to regret it? The day that the Soviets officially
crossed the border, I wrote to President Carter, in substance: We
now have the opportunity of giving to the USSR its Vietnam war.
Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war
unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about
the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.
Question: And neither do you regret having supported the Islamic
fundamentalists, having given arms and advice to future
terrorists?
Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The
Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up
Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the
cold war?**
(his laughter followed this statement)
