1. I'm so sick of hearing what Joe Scar has to say.

Really, he is a nothing. Not interesting to me in the least.

Does MSNBC have posters on DU trying to drum up viewership?

All of these useless threads about him and the show, are just boring!

Did it ever occur to you that all the people who respond to every Joe post with "Why do you watch that shit?" or "I live Bill Press!" or "I gave up tv!" are just as pervasive and boring?

The fact is, it is a political show, this is a political message board, and some people don't seek out only the opinions they already agree with. Deal. Or don't click on the thread.

Just kid'n Atman, just kid'n
I used to complain about people complaining about these assholes but finally I did see the big picture. It is a political show and yes we are a political board so its only fitting that there will be post about dickheads like joe, rush, hannity, ann or any number of others. I'm now happy that there is those who can watch and report back to the ones of us who don't have the stomach for watching or listening to them.

Peace out

Mr Bipartisan - 'dead intern Joe Scum' will not allow praise of the President.
Exposing hypocrisy is a good thing!

10. and it's the multiple threads about what every utterance this asshole makes.

And the threads have very LITTLE substance.

They are lazy threads if you ask me. A couple, ok, but every single day, day in day out, half of GD filled up with things crazy Joe Scarborough said it just plain old boring.

Can't there be a single "Utterances of Scarborough" thread created each morning for these to go into?

12. Oh, right. Like multiple threads are so rare in GD.

CNN said multiple threads vs. original threads is a dead heat!

13. I think a jaunt through GD each morning would prove the point.

you will find an assortment of one line posts about Joe and what HE SAID, and most of the time you can't even tell what they are about.

15. Why do you hang on his every word?

Such an odd dynamic. Democrats who race to the TV every morning with breathless anticipation of what this tool is going to say, which is almost universally anti Obama.

It's all so weird.

16. We "Race to the tv every morning?"

Actually, if I race anywhere in the morning, it's to take a pee. Then to the coffee maker. We usually lounge in bed for the first cup, watch a bit of news. It is hardly racing or breathless anticipation. Thanks for your concern about what I watch in morning!

(meaning there are no problems, fingers and toes crossed), then Wednesday morning would be fun to watch. They'll probably look like they go ran over by a truck.
