Should they change the name of "Morning Joe" ??

[kentuck]

As it is, the loudmouth whose name is "Joe" seems to think the show belongs to him. After all, it has his name. Obviously a big mistake by MSNBC to reward this egotistical asshole with a show of his own.

How about they change it to "Morning Blather"? Or "Grits and Gravy"? Or anything that doesn't have "Joe" in the title?

If MSNBC management thinks the controversy that Scarborough creates helps their ratings, they are mistaken. Most people just switch the channel or turn it off when he starts screaming like the goat on the GEICO commercial. http://www.marketmenot.com/geico-screaming-scapegoat-commercial/ Joe Scarborough is the screaming goat.

[Aerows]

2. Morning Blow

[immoderate]

3. How about -- they change the host?

The name thing is a revenue deal with Starbucks.

[HappyMe]

4. Change it to

"Don't Fucking Bother" because I sure don't.

[KamaAina]

5. Yes, to "Morning Joke"

[yuiyoshida]

11. This!

[RKP5637]

6. I find myself frequently switching to CNN or AJZ. I want something on in the background,

but I just get fed up with the MSNBC "Morning Pose and Rave" show.

[NightWatcher]

7. If lefties would stop watching it just so they can be outraged, his numbers would fall to zero

and he'd be gone in a week.

Stop watching that doofus and giving him and his words free rent in your head. Your brain is a precious resource and you are poisoning with crap every second you watch stupid "news" shows. Of course Joe is an idiot. I knew that years ago and have not watched him utter three words since then

[Gothmog]

8. The ratings for this show have crashed

Most democrats are refusing to watch this mess of a show

[Puddy]

37. The ratings for pretty much all of MSNBS are way down.

Joe is an pampas ass that I find impossible to watch!

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. And anyone watches that program why?

It must be swell to start your day off all agitated by that jerk.

[CTyankee]

32. My husband can't stand it when I watch. He says to me "you watch that show

and then you go on DU and then you are pissed off for the rest of the day..."

[TheCowsCameHome]

34. Another good reason for him to look forward to weekends.

You won't be so darn grumpy when MJ isn't on.

Just kidding, just kidding.

[CTyankee]

36. Oh, we laugh about it. We're having cable problems and can't get MJ on one of

our TVs so I'm out of the loop on the show until we get the TV fixed...of course we've been stuck in the house for a while now with all the snow. It's been a bit fraying on the nerves but it's OK...I figure everybody is in the same boat so just deal with it...

[Mike Nelson]

10. Mourning News

The show just keeps getting worse, as they try to regain viewers!

[Atman]

12. Morning Intern Killer?

"Knock 'em dead, Joe!"

[Tom Ripley]

13. Wake Up With A Killer

[Terra Alta]

14. they should change the host.

If I wanted to see idiots blathering the mornings' latest RW talking points, I'd watch Faux and Friends.

[UTUSN]

15. Hilarious this A.M. that JINDAL called Mika "my-cah"!1 Shows his cluelessness

One might imagine that somebody who chooses to be in a public arena would be interested to know who's-who (no matter how low rated) who might affect his public fortunes, or minimally have staff who would do his research for him and prepare him for appearances.

Otoh, Jeb Crow Shrub, who is said to be tech-savvy on his own and who is trying to fill the gaps between his party and the generation that is young and tech-savvy, hired a COMMUNICATIONS dude who tweets juvenile and backward items offensive to that generation. Besides that Jeb Crow Shrub, further attempting to show his tech-savviness, posted thousands of e-mails with confidential, personal information in them. As was noted a month ago when he was announcing his intention to post these things for the purpose of his "transparency," these e-mails are routine/policy things that do not show his transparency. The ones that WOULD show transparency would be those about his crooked businesses and answer questions about his crooked 1stGenCubanExile/CIA partners and about those suitcases of cash he carried aboard private planes.

[JHB]

16. I suggest "Cancelled"

I would be the most appropriate.

[kentuck]

17. Best suggestion yet.

[lordsummerisle]

30. LOL

[longship]

18. "Morning Joke" and add a laugh track.

Every time Joe says anything there will be the canned audience laughter afterwards, just like a sitcom.

Otherwise, no other changes.

It'll be a big hit.

[madinmaryland]

20. No. Change the Host. Bring Rachel Maddow or Ed Schultz to the Morning Show.

[graegoyle]

21. People just want to sound hip.

Just call it coffee.

That's what you're talking about, right?

[tabbycat31]

22. I don't have tv anymore

But is the guy still giving Chris Christie head every morning? If so, perhaps use that for a title.

[CTyankee]

33. No, the bloom is off that rose ever since Joe caught on that Christie was poison...

Joe and Mika act all disappointed in CC. Of course, we knew his game all along...

[hatrack]

23. How about "The Lori Klausutis Show"?

After all, she's the person who put Joe in showbiz.

[bigwillq]

24. I don't care what they call it.

I still won't watch.

[kydo]

25. You mean the morning joke still has viewers?

Oh yeah mika has a big family so there are like what 15 viewers, and that's including his mom. What a loser.

[randys1]

26. I like "Murderer Joe"

where else but America could this prick be so popular

[Iggo]

38. Or just cut to the chase and call it "Dead Intern."

[randys1]

39. Perfect

[Half-Century Man]

27. Moaning Joke

Misbegotten Jackoff?

[Enrique]

28. MSNBC and Friends

[H2O Man]

29. "Mourning Joe"

recommended!

[Scuba]

31. "The Right-Wing Propaganda Hour" has a nice ring to it.

[Iggo]

35. They should change it to "Show Nobody Watches"...

...and the everyone should help them out by making it true.
