Bwaaaaaaaaah Joe Scum doesn't know the difference between the House and the Senate

[malaise]

He was trying to hard to play 'got yah' with President Obama that he said let's say Boehner is still speaker of the House and Democrats hold the House by one - stupid fuck!!

[cali]

1. You mean like President Obama thinks there are 57 states?

this is silly. People misspeak all the time. It's called a slip of the tongue. Seriously, do you actually think Scarborough doesn't know the difference between the House and the Senate?

[malaise]

3. Look context is everything

He was so freaking over-eager that he looked like an idiot.
Keep on being the queen of PC.

6. LOL. keep on with your obsession over that asswipe Joe.

I wouldn't watch that idiot or that sick show for anything. You can't seem to turn him off.

7. He did run his & Mika's interview with the President this morning

after the President apparently refusing Tweety an interview "a couple months ago" as I read on DU yesterday.

That explains alot about Tweety's "attytood" (as they say in Philly.) regarding the President.

Scarborough wears his angst on his sleeve and sometimes it's interesting to watch him squirm. He is by no means as sophisticated a propagandist as others of his ilk.

12. I watch a little...

... for some of the other stuff. Mika of course ('cause I'm a guy)... she is smarter than she is given credit for on the show (except when she gets on the healthy eating kick).
many of the guests are ok, but....
I always end up yelling at the TV *SHUT UP JOE!!* whenever his lips are moving

5. I'm not sure the President's 57 state

comment was entirely a slip up. Is it possible he was trying to say he had visited some states twice during his first campaign and that's how he came up with the number 57?

9. No simpler than that - he meant the number of primary contests

There were some - Guam, Puerto Rico etc that were not states.

8. Your right, when your tired you can easly make mistakes.

10. Joe is a smart guy, so yeah I think it was a slip of the tongue

He was interviewing the President of the United States. He was nervous. And LOL!! the same applies to the President. It appears the President should have said 57 states and territories but that would have confused some because there are actually 5 minor territories and a groups of Pacific Islands under the control of the US and the association compacts, one of which is where we conduct nuclear testing. So yeah, PBO had it right but forgot to include in his sentence territories and compacts.

Of course Joe is too much of a chauvinist pig for my rich blood so I haven't the show in years. Love Mika though. She's awesome.

[Confusious]

2. I would say a slip of the tongue also

Joe served in the house, so he has to know the difference.

4. Don't bet on that, he's a repuke.

[Confusious]

13. What? That he served in the house so he knows the difference? Nt
