So I noticed Joe Scarborough was "on assignment" this morning...
And, of course, it's Friday. He's gotta be hoping that by Monday (if he's back from his "assignment) the subject will be changed from Al Franken and all that icky stuff about sexual predation. I wonder, will Mika let it go? She was pretty steamed this morning...
= new reply since forum marked as read
Maybe knowing what the subject was going to be, the producer suggested that Joe sit this one out?
Mika does a good job of hosting, everyone stays civil, there's no interruptions or insults from Joe's big mouth and they stay pretty much on topic and organised.
My gut feeling is Joe Scarborough is basically a mean guy with a nasty temper that he can barely control. You can see it in his eyes. When he's pissed, they narrow to mean, dark slits. 
Years ago I watched a show where he argued with a guest who DARED to contradict him (forget his name now) and I seriously thought chairs were going to fly and the tables kicked over. 
That guest was never booked on the show again.
What the hell Mika is doing hooking up with this guy is a puzzle. I wish the best for her but I don't think this will end well.
I hope I'm wrong.
You never see him on the show anymore either!
You also never hear him refer to Rachel Maddow in any way, shape or form (she's a God in my eyes) except as an unnamed, late night, wacko host.
OH!! I just remembered the name of the guy that Scar was such a fucking asshole to! It was David Shuster!!
Wonder where Shuster disappeared to?
Don't know when they're getting married but she's sporting a big engagement ring. I think this will be Scar's third marriage. (run Mika...run)
oh, nevermind...
