Scarborough Defames Bloggers Who Are Right On 'Surge'

For all of my ideological differences with the man, I've always appreciated the way MSNBC's Joe Scarborough has seemed to applaud and encourage people of all leanings to get engaged in the political life of the country. But I have to condemn his actions this morning, where he launched into an anti-blogger diatribe that was both defamatory and, even worse, cliched. Now, I'll admit that I, having long given up blogging from home (which too often led to shameful practices, like the watching of Judging Amy reruns on TNT), personally benefit from actually coming into an office, where I am encouraged to wear actual pants and am soothed psychologically by the clickety-clack of other people's keyboards. Still, the key difference between me and Joe Scarborough is that I am right on the "Surge" and he is wrong, and changing into my flannel footie PJ's isn't going to change that.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a bag full of crushed up Cheeto dust to mail to MSNBC's Manhattan headquarters.

Nope, had broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, green beans, and salad for dinner. The only orange thing that touched my plate was the carrot in my salad.

Joe is simply another morsel of the weak MSNBC cheesecake. That this screwball is thought to be worthy of attention reveals how weak MSNBC is. Fox News is even worse. CNN is also weak.

Shame that Peter Finch is no longer with us. "Get up out of your chairs, go to the window..."

Scarborough deserves little to no respect, since he could not handle Rachel Maddow, and walked off the set. More will be reveal.ed You'll be happy to know TNT retired Judging Amy

World War II started in December 1941? Try September 1939. And this guy is s-l-o-w-l-y explaining the Anwar 'awakening' history to us? Saying it slowly doesn't make it any less polemic or ridiculous. Pass the Cheetos.

[haleywins]

He's an idiot, big ego problems, big real big. What a P.I.A.

[Teritt]

P.O.S. too

There was a documentary on the History Channel the other night that stated that the battle of Midway (June 1942) was the first great battle of WWII. I had to laugh.

A couple years ago, for some reason they were playing a tape of Churchill's "Blood, Sweat, and Tears" speech on NPR. When it finished the talking heads were briefly silent, then somebody, I think it was Steve Inskeep said, "Wow. That was powerful. I wonder who wrote that for him." I guess it had escaped his attention that Churchill was one of the most outstanding writers of his generation.

Sunni, Shiite, Viet Congo, Belgian Cong.
McSame diff.

Now, where's my G.D. cheeto?

[Big0725]

Right next to your tea, M. F'er.

[ReasonIsMyReligion]

Wow!
Someone skip his nice-nice pill?

[BigLib]

The squeals of the Cheeto eaters are deafening!

[MissDirection]

They may be Cheeto-eating slobs...
But at least they're not intern-murdering former congressmen.

[surferbuoy]

Intern-murdering congressman...care to elaborate on this one?

[XME]

Scarborough is an idiot.

Not only does he disparage "the Left", but he constantly belittles and cuts off his cohost, Mika. I'll only watch the show when he's out.

[Noratruth]

I agree, I like the "morning Joe" much better when Joe is out.

[Bettysdad]

People like Linkins are greatly responsible for the success of people like Scarborough.

By saying ANYTHING positive about these vermin they are being legitimized, something they don't deserve.

No matter how graciously they spew their hate and lies, they should always be attacked.

[skepticalindenver]

Joe Scarborough....Sean Hannity "light"

[zendem1]

Joe Scarblow=Eddie Haskell.

[HeevenSteven]

YO JOE! McCain says the surge begat the awakening; wake up yerself!

[floydSmoot]

I'm incensed!

An attack on Cheetos is an attack on all freedom-loving Americans.

What's next? Broccoli?

[mediamarv]

Fritos, I fear.

[dwillisno1]

Joe prefers snacks that are more compatible with him, like something that goes with "dip"

[Big0725]

As long as they stay away from my mutha f'ing Ruffles. If they touches those, we's gonna scrap!

[ZimboChick]

HEHEHEHEHEHHEHE

[Hatchibakku99]

There would be precedent (on broccoli). Remember how Bush 41 admitted he didn't like broccoli? This could all lead to a right-wing conspiracy against one of our most beloved veggies!!!

[TXOBAMAGIRL73]

Joe is the poster child against inbreeding. Mama's don't let ya babies grow up to luv his cousin, sing with me cheetos eaters

[sheikwil]

I use to love watching morning Joe, until I realized he is not better than that low life Bill O'relly, so Morning Joe and David Gregory are tuning MSNBC into Fox Lite.

[MorningJoeMikaIsMarried]

I so agree wit you, David and Mika turned out to be so disappointing

[southafrica4obama]

Joe and that girl suck
