purportedly "throw his grandmother under the bus"

Summary: Responding to Barack Obama's comment, made in his March 18 speech addressing controversial statements by Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that his white grandmother had "uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes," Joe Scarborough said: "I really wonder why anybody, why any man, would throw his grandmother under the bus during a political speech regardless of the point he was trying to make." But last week, Scarborough said that "we all have people that we love dearly who are crazy," adding, "Do not hold me accountable for things that my father has said in the past ... or for e-mails ... that my mother sends me. ... And again, Mom and Dad, I love you. I'm just making a bigger point."

6. And I thought we were rid of Tucker but there he was this morning.

At least when he had his own show I knew how to avoid him, now it seems his smug face is all over the place.

2. did Joe really listen to that speech?

I believe what Obama said was that he could no more disown Wright than he could his grandmother.

That's very different from throwing someone under the bus....

5. Keep flooding those e-mails to MSNBC...

calling Scarborough out for his comments.

Remember a while ago, Tweedy was ragging on Hillary...

we emailed MSNBC because we can't tolerate that;

Tweedy apologised, and has toned down the rhetoric.
