Had to turn Joe Scar off, his soapy re-cap of the wonderful and most patriotic GHWB is

[monmouth4]

nauseating. He has Jon Meacham on and the two of them are just going on and on. No word about the wedding, perhaps later in the show. I've moved on to TCM.

1. Morning Joe was so much better without Joe!

[oberliner]

2. What did you expect to hear on his show this morning?

[technotwit]

3. djt

tRUmp must be fuming over all the GHWB praise, and not himself being praised. Wonder how long before he blows ….

8. The only justification for this Bush stuff, is annoying trump, imo

[dem4decades]

4. Thanks. I'll just fast forward through the Bush crap till

They start bashing Trump. If they don't get to that I'll watch something else.

5. Jon Meacham has been everywhere this weekend, NPR & cable & print

His book on Bush made him good money on publishing and now Meacham is making damn good money on Bushs' death.

I read the book last year, I am glad the public library had it, I found it to be a soft focus deliberately limited view by an author who has written better.

6. Amazing how this one term, relentless bagman, quiet fixer, gets this nonstop, heroic sendoff.

Where is the abrupt 24 hour news cycle. Bush stuff feels endless.

[Sancho]

7. I turned it off almost immediately...

there is no real journalism on morning joke.

9. Pretty sure that when Pres. Carter does pass ...

And I pray that he still has a good amount of time remaining on this earth, he won't be getting anywhere NEAR the 'love' that GHW Bush is getting. I thank Bush for his service to our country, and for a few more things that he's accomplished. But, Pres. Carter served in the military too, but I don't get the feeling that will be mentioned much, just about how inneffective of a president he was, and maybe a bone about Camp David. I guess it's more impressive when a Republican serves in the military than a Dem

But uh, I'll check my thoughts on GHW Bush. Oh Gawd, and when Pres. Clinton also moves on someday, and I also pray that won't be for a very long time, we'll be hearing about Monica Lewinsky non-stop and about how flawed he was. BANK ON IT, because we're hearing about her NOW even though we have a self-proclaimed pussy-grabbing, racist, narcissistic, rapist, HOG installed in the White House with the help of the ruskies.

Thank God I don't watch Morning Joe. Those of you who can stomach him and friends of mine do a great job of recapping his shows for me

10. Begging the question?

Why would anyone turn it on in the first place?

The best thing for the Breathless 24/7 Breaking Noise Infotainment Media is to leave them off.

[brooklynite]

11. So then you missed the stories about the CIA issuing new evidence implicating MBS...

...and David From piece on strong prospects of the Mueller case.

[Sprite]

12. The Bushes have a very dark side they want

history to forget. His father, Prescott, should have been tried for treason working with Hitler. Joe praised George for getting us through the Savings and Loan crisis not mentioning his son Neil Bush was in the middle of it. Iran Contra etc. oh please stop the madness!

[Joe941]

13. Can we be honest and just Bush a trator!

[UniteFightBack]

14. Jon Meacham is one of my favorites. nt

[Vinca]

15. I have to say, the photo of his service dog by the coffin touched my heart.
