Has Joe Scarborough resigned yet? Looks like he has a little scandal of his own brewing...
Dead intern Joe caught violating MSNBC network rule...
At NBC, there’s a rule that if anchors give a paid speech to a for-profit enterprise — the kind they may be covering in their role as journalists — they have to give the money they receive to charity. It’s not a secret rule. It’s been in place for nearly 20 years to prevent conflicts of interest. Everybody knows about it. But is everyone following it?
How about Joe Scarborough?
According to a well-placed source at MSNBC, the “Morning Joe” co-host may have been pocketing the proceeds from some of his many highly paid speeches, in direct violation of network policy. That’s what some of his co-workers suspect anyway, and they’re resentful about it.
here’s no doubt Joe has been doing a lot of speaking lately. He is repped by William Morris Endeavor chief (and Entourage prototype) Ari Emanuel, and exclusive to the Leading Authorities speakers bureau in Washington. The details — and fee structures — are all over the web: If Joe speaks east of the Mississippi, he gets $51,000, swanky hotel not included. For a trip to the West Coast, the fee jumps to $56,000, again hotel not included. When he speaks in New York, Joe doesn’t need a hotel, since he already works there, but he still makes $45,500. Not bad for an hour of talking. His co-host Mika Brzezinski frequently joins him on stage.
That kind of money could make a host pretty sympathetic to the people who are paying him, some of whom might wind up in the news some day. You can see why the networks are concerned about conflicts. NBC laid down its policy in 1996, when it banned employees from accepting money from corporations and trade associations that lobby government or take public positions on issues. All paid appearances must be approved by management.
Does Joe follow these rules? The Daily Caller‘s Mirror blog reached out to Scarborough, as well as to MSNBC’s PR department with that question. Does Joe give the money to charity or keep it for himself? If he’s following NBC policy, could we see the relevant portion of his tax return? But they ignored us. Neither even responded.

It's the lesser of two evils.
The other reason is when I watch MSNBC the night before and burn too much catnip, then I'm too lazy to change the channel. 
And he actually apologized to no other than Sarah... you-know-who! Yes, he was strident at times, but unless there was more that we didn't know about, MSNBC is quick to do CYA most of the time.
Cenk Uger must have been reprimanded, was offered a smaller reporting role with a pay raise, but decided to leave. Yes, I know he didn't actually have his own show. As for Olbermann, I do believe they suggested he leave very strongly, then he got in trouble over at what is now Al Jazeera, when it was Gore's baby.
I stopped watching JoeyScar quite some time ago, simply because he would always kind of slip in those snide remarks here and there. Plus, he turned me off anyway many years ago.
He was a Representative from here in Florida, up in the Panhandle area if I'm correct and I suppose he was given the show to "balance" with Mika. However, it began to look as those Mika was morphing into JoeyScar many, many times. Too much for me to take anyway. A few days ago she did shock me with her retort about sticking to the subject RE: Christie, still not so sure about which way she blows.
MSNBC has let hosts like Rachel, Tweety and others pretty much run their show. BUT, don't we ALL recall what they did to Ed Schultz. Thankfully, the out cry from people must have been too much for them to handle and he's back now. The place leans more left sort of, but there are other channels that do more intensive coverage and we get better "real" information. Problem is though, many people don't get those channels sooooooo many stick with MSNBC.
Would be SO NICE without the twit as far as I'm concerned, but then I'm one of those liberal types! Horrors!!
This is sweeter than Blue Mountain coffee with Yard honey
current wife?
Let's see if they are consistent and he loses the job. I might pop that Cheney champagne early. 
But, they are divorced.
So I guess that means they're divorced (but not separated).

Step away from TDC -
and elsewhere on "Road Show Gigs for High Profits" for Years Now!
A relative of mine in the Medical Device Business walked out of their "Show" that at the "Advomed" (Med/Tech Convention in DC) this Spring. Thought it was "not appropriate" for those two to appear "doing their "Morning Joe Show" at a Convention for Scientists and Med/Tech/Business People attending a Serious Convention to discover and promote new technology and business funding. The Society Paid for them to appear with Dues of Members. (To be fair Clinton, Bush II, Paul Begala, Orrin Hatch...etc have all made presentations but it was about GOVT. POLICY ....not a Celebrity Road Show like Joe and Mika who are nothing but entertainers.
They've been raking in the big bucks appearing at Conventions and Speaking Tours since their show Began! Both are probably Multi-Millionaires from these Road Show Speaking Tours.
This is but a "glitch" in their Profit Making "Celebrity Machine!" 
because he contributed to Gabby Gifffords & another Arizona Democrat's campaigns. That damn liberal media!!!
