Scarborough Laughs About Dead Staffer

From BartCop Forum:

Conservative MSNBC news host Joe Scarborough was a guest on MSNBC's Imus show last Thursday, May 29.

In complementing Scarborough on his sense of humor, Imus said, "Don't be afraid to be funny, because you are funny. I asked you why you aren't in Congress. You said that you had sex with the intern and then you had to kill her." To which Scarborough laughed, "Yeah, ha, ha ha, well, what are you gonna do?"

1. I'm sorry, does he have a TV show? Does anyone watch?

Somehow it had escaped my attention that he is an Important Person. :eyes:

[despairing optimist]

2. That's why the people of NO would never vote for Scarborough as dogcatcher

Too bad he doesn't keep his own counsel and try scrubbing urinals for a living.

3. HEY JOE - Keep your own mouth shut.

4. Pft. Like Bushites aren't going to blame mayor no matter what he does.

This invitation to join a coverup conspiracy whereby every elected official just pretends that America can't expect anything better than losing a mid size city and a few thousand lives is

a) underestimating even the credulity of the American people, who know that this sort of disaster and half assed response don't happen in the expected case and

b) underestimating how desparate republicans will smear everybody.

5. Scarborough is a loudmouthed PUSSY! he's all talk and no action

all he can do is sit and complain but he won't pitch in to help.

the mayor of new orleans has BOOTS ON THE GROUND and has been working his ass off all week as has general honore.

shut the fuck up and sit the fuck DOWN, scarborough!

6. I don't know about that. They call him "Killer Joe."

11. Only because he killed his intern.

A Death in the Congressman's Office
Does Anybody in the Press Care About Lori Klausutis?
By Denis Wright and Chris George

August 8, 2001 (APJP)

Once upon a time, the phrase "investigative reporter" actually meant something. It usually involved hard work, possibly even mentation. Now, it seems, they just make stuff up. Especially on the Fox News Channel, where an uninitiated viewer could easily think she/he had tuned in Comedy Central. It's "Chandra-Chandra-Chandra" with the occasional "Condit is just like Clinton" thrown in. Given our media's 24/7 obsession with the Gary Condit "scandal", you might assume that there is a real dearth of hard news to pursue.

n reality, there is indeed a news story percolating out there. The story bears remarkable and ironic similarities to the Condit/Levy story. Both involve Congressmen, rumors of infidelity, and the fate of a younger female subordinate. The details are so similar as to remind one of two alternate universes. The difference between the two stories? First, in the Klausutis case as not in the Levy case, there is a real body, very dead. Second, the Klausutis case involves a Republican.

The story had a brief flutter in the Northwest Florida press, which ran a few very short stories on Lori's death. With the exception of the Northwest Florida Daily News, they were of the "Aw-what-a-shame/ nothing-to-see-here-move-along-now-folks" variety. But nationally, this mysterious death earned a mere one paragraph mention in The Washington Post's NATION IN BRIEF column:

"FORT WALTON BEACH, FL. - Lori Klausutis, a 28-year-old office worker for Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-Fl), was found dead in the congressman's district office. Police said preliminary findings from the medical examiner's office showed no foul play or any outward indication of suicide."

9. ...and he was chatting about how "gov't can't do it"

(paraphrasing here), and how this disaster shows that it's the community groups and charities are the ones who can really help.

(I'm not getting it quite right.) BUT, it surely sounds to me that this disaster is just somehow being spun by the right into an argument for NOT funding FEMA and other fed programs, and transferring it all to the states. Maybe that's WHY the response was so slow...

but to let so many die...Oh God, how can they be so heartless?

[Arkana]

10. Joe can kiss my shiny metal ass.

Nagin needs to keep shouting to make sure blame is placed EXACTLY where it belongs--on FEMA's and Dumbyass' shoulders.

[Lindacooks]

12. Fuck you, intern killer, and your squinty beady eyes and

your huge nose and your ugly mind and your corroded soul.

[formernaderite]

13. You know during the whole Chandra Levy/Gary Condit mess...

there were rumours floating around that Scarborough was a memeber of Condits little girl hunting club....removing tin foil so that common sense returns.....
