Hey Joe Scum - at least Monica Lewinsky can talk

[malaise]

That dead woman who was found in your office will never speak again

Now go fuck yourself!!!

[malaise]

2. He's beyond a dirtbag

[livetohike]

4. Mika makes me sick How can she sit there day after day knowing there was a dead

intern in his office? I thought he would have a heart attack on air. The vitriol for the Clinton's seethes from him.

[Shoonra]

5. Low blow

This references former Florida Congressman Joe Scarborough. Back in 2001 one of his employees at his hometown office fell, hit her head, and died from the blow. She was ALONE in the office. Scarborough nowhere near. Death was ruled entirely accidental, nothing suspicious. Seems a bit mean that Scarborough, although now anti-Obama commentator on Fox, would have this hung on him like an albatross.

Contrary to the usual news reports, Monica Lewinsky has not been keeping silent for more than a decade. She manages to surface briefly from time to time just to maintain her notoriety for his own profit-making purposes. She even had a cable TV special some years back, where she did a long monologue about how she wanted to be left alone and lost in a crowd but .... This happened to coincide with her attempt to capitalize on her name to sell handbags.

Now that Hillary is in the running, Lewinsky sniffs money and comes out of her hole. Believe me, she will somehow turn this into a money-maker for herself. Contrary to the usual Republican noise, she wasn't some innocent who was somehow preyed upon by Bill Clinton; she threw herself at him, a very strong temptation at a time he was under a lot of stress. To me she's just a homewrecker, although she tries to portray herself as some kind of victim.

6. When Joe Scarborough was in the House

An intern was found dead in his office and he's been trying to cover it up for some years.

[Stellar]

9. I don't know why every Republic0n is trying to

attach Hillary to Bill's issues in the first place. Most people took pity on Hillary and it probably helped Bill get back into office. IDK.

[mattclearing]

14. Clinton had been re-elected at that point. n/t

[The Wizard]

10. Just before leaving for DC

she told a friend she was bringing her presidential knee pads. I don't think she was intending scrub the Oval Office floor.
She needs cash, that's all, and no one watches Morning Jerkoff anyway.

[Enthusiast]

12. Scarborough hit her in her head and now she is dead.

It was a stinky cover-up.

[Mike Daniels]

16. Lewinsky could have taken steps to normalize her life

A. Legally change her name

B. Change her appearance (just coloring and cutting her hair would likely have been enough).


Monica's protests to the contrary, I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't recognize her unless she went out of her way to draw attention to herself. As you stated, she seems more than willing to pop out of her gopher hole every few years to capitalize on her infamy. While Clinton is hardly blameless in this little escapade it seems that people forget that Monica went out of her way to make sure Clinton noticed her.

While I hope she manages to find whatever she's looking for out of life it would be nice if she started taking more responsibility for her difficulty in being able to live a normal life all these years later.

19. Is that you, Dead Intern Joe?

Nice of you to stop by and comment!

http://open.salon.com/blog/rogershuler/2012/09/07/grisly_discovery_has_curious_ties_to_joe_scarborough

A former medical examiner rented a storage unit in Pensacola, Florida, where human remains were discovered recently. It's the same ME who essentially closed the books 11 years ago on the death of a woman whose body was found in the office of then Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough.

[Efilroft Sul]

20. Actually, there are two questionable things about the death of Lori Klausutis.

1. Say her death was an accident. Within three hours of Lori's body being found, Scarborough and his spokesman went to two different local TV stations and stated she had a nonexistent history of chronic medical problems.

2. The medical examiner lost his ME license in Missouri and had it suspended in Florida because he lied about his autopsy work. Did he lie again in the case of Lori Klausutis?

It isn't so cut and dry. All America remembers about the summer of 2001 was shark attacks and Gary Condit's affair, and Scarborough's dead intern problem was quietly swept under the rug.

[olegramps]

21. You have convienently omitted many facts about the case.

[Shemp Howard]

24. You're right about Lewinsky, wrong about Clinton.

Lewinsky was no victim here. She knew exactly what she was doing. In the back of her mind she saw Bill divorcing Hillary and marrying her.

But please don't give Bill any sort of pass with that "he was under a lot of stress" excuse.

Bill was a full and willing partner. In fact, Bill's fault is much greater, for he was in a position of great authority over Lewinsky. Such relationships are common, of course. But they are, at their core, unethical because one person has so much power over the other.

Having said all that, the real crime here is the GOP's impeachment of Clinton. They attempted to negate the votes of millions of Americans over a private matter.

[Atman]

25. Actually, there was PLENTY suspicious about it.

Including the ME's report that there was "nothing suspicious."

It was widely suspected Scarborough was having an affair with the intern. He was also very close to the Bush family, and was reportedly being groomed for a position in the Bush White House. He was personally asked to resign by Jeb Bush because his affair and the dead intern was becoming a distraction to his campaign. To ease the pain, he was instead given a cushy job at MSNBC where he was able to "work" for the Bush family, albeit from the outside. Joe never got his cushy job at the White House and has been very bitter about it ever since. Nobody except Sarah Palin just resigns an office like that for no reason. Especially someone with Joe's ego.

[jberryhill]

26. And her parents played along?

[Atman]

27. I don't have any idea what you're referring to.

Are you suggesting that what I posted means her parents just accepted her death without question? Not at all. There is very little written about her parents. Perhaps they didn't even know of the affair. Perhaps, as is totally understandable for a grieving parent in need of closure, they accepted the ME's report of an accidental fall.

The most basic question is, why did Joe Scarborough resign if this was just an accident? It is pretty unusual for an innocent man to simply run away and pretend nothing ever happened.

[jberryhill]

28. "There is very little written about her parents"

I wonder why that might be.

So you don't suppose they might be curious about the circumstances of their daughter's death?

Did she have any friends?

[Atman]

29. "Did she have any friends?"

What is certain is that Joe Scarborough had very, very good -- and powerful -- friends. Can you say "Bush family?" The little guys' voices tend not to be heard.

[jberryhill]

32. Then how come I can hear you?

There is no shortage of blogs and internet forums where this subject is discussed.

Why do her friends and family care so little?

[truebrit71]

30. Uh huh... the physically fit, non-health issues dead intern in Scumborough's..

...office SHOULDN'T be hung around his neck, but the affair between two consenting adults is fair game...

Got it...

There are a million and one things that were highly suspicious about Joe's Dead Intern, but he has the brass to go nuts about Lewinsky....methinks he doth protesteth too much...maybe he's worried that the truth will start to come out if everyone starts sifting through the rubble of that period in history...

Either way fuck that guy.

Twice.

[Stellar]

7. Why, it was just a year ago

when he was calling Bill Clinton, the 'Big Dog', and how Obama should be more like Clinton. The mark of a true republic0n scumbag. Why is it that he has a 15 hour a week show and everybody else has mostly 5 hours a week on MSNBC anyway?

I'm surprised that Joe and his intern thingy in not trending on twitter after his comments. (actually, I don't tweet..just heard the phrase a couple of hundred times )

[Firebrand Gary]

11. Apparently Joe has his own allegations of cheating... ** Joe Scarborough quietly divorced wife **

Couple of interesting clauses in the divorce papers -- Susan "acknowledges" Joe was faithful, devoted, and committed." A sentence perhaps intended to quiet allegations Joe was cheating.

13. Please remember this is divorce from wife #2

So much for those ReTHUG family values

[Mike Daniels]

18. What kills me is that hosting the lowest or 2nd lowest rated morning news show*

for your time slot warrants a salary that falls just under $100,000 (taken from linked article) a week.

*Presuming that ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN, MSNBC are the only channels that matter when talking morning news shows.

[mopinko]

22. they still live together? that's a special kind of crazy.

having just been through that myself, i can tell you that someone who wants to leave you, but doesnt leave you, is playing one HELL of a mind game.
twisted. just twisted. what a power trip he must be on.

[mopinko]

23. geez

i'm thinking about this, and it is so creepy, i feel like i should look behind the curtains.
this deserves it's own thread. that is proof of a twisted mind if there ever was such.

[MoonRiver]

15. I stopped watching that POS for good when he justified

Joe Nameth wearing tortured animals. Sounds like today was a classic vomit fest on Morning Scum.

[CTyankee]

17. This is a loser of an issue. He ought to know...that impeachment thing was

a real disaster.

Joe goes over the top all the time but I was surprised he was so worked up about the women columnists who did the dredging. At least one person on the panel pointed out that the columnists were balanced.

[Dawson Leery]

31. Dead Intern Joe strikes again.
