Joe Scarborough -- WTF is his problem?

[elkston]

Is anyone watching Morning Joe? I mean he's not even trying to hide his resentment for Obama. I really cannot fathom it. It actually seems *personal* to me.

On and on about aarogance, endless saarcasm about how Obama "making everything right", insistence that despite all the facts, the media has been throwing him softballs.

WTF?

[thepurpose]

1. At heart he is a GOP Hack!!!!!

[endarkenment]

2. I'm guessing he is a racist rightwing shithead.

But that is only a guess based on anecdotal evidence collected over the last dozen years or so.

Seriously, what exactly do you expect from the pantheon of rightwing corporate media talking heads?

[dkf]

6. That "not one of us" line is a giveaway.

He ought to stop using it.

[babylonsister]

3. Same crap, different day. He's a rethug; they all continue to try to

make this into a real race, when it's not. And they certainly don't let facts get in their way.

[rooboy]

4. Joe Scarborough is basically like Sean Hannity...

except Hannity isn't suspected of killing one of his interns.

[elkston]

7. Murder, really? I'll have to google that one. :) n/t

5. His Archie Bunker type dismissive attitude toward Mika is painful to watch

He thinks its funny. I think its disrespectful.

[GalleryGod]

14. Mika's Fault Entirely: Kathy Lee Gifford Whoop-Ass would serve her better!

Have a Great Monday!

[karynnj]

22. I haven't watched for a long time because I find Joe sickening,

but Mika was always very well spoken, serious and thoughtful. I see no reason that someone like her deserves disrespect.

[thepurpose]

24. GalleryGod, you are so right it is her fault for not having a position to begin

with. She is all over the place and Joe easily exploits that. She is on an opinion show and she needs to understand that.

[City Lights]

23. "Don't make me backhand you, Mika."

He has no business being on the air, much less hosting his own show.

[bpcmxr]

8. He's a Republican.

What more need be said? Seriously.

[Botany]

9. Hint .... he is not in the news business

The level of control the right wing has over the media is staggering ....
Joe is just one of the paid whores.

[mod mom]

10. Surveillance provided scoop on his intern?

[TexasObserver]

11. MORNING JOKE uses his RNC talking points every morning.

He's got a script when he starts at 6 AM Eastern. He always has his RNC talking points for the day.

When he starts in with that, I switch channels. If I want RNC talking points, I'll get them from Fox, where they are more candid about their GOP loyalties.

[floridablue]

12. He has made it too difficult to watch

This was my morning tv/computer time. It is disgusting. So it is back to WABCradio.com and the reborn-we love black people-Imus.

[GalleryGod]

13. The Profile of "Morning Joe" in the New Yorker set all my bile aside.

Joey admits: It's just a SCHTICK.
Not to worry...I think Joey votes for The Big O in November !
Swear to Gawd.

[stray cat]

18. When was it in the NYer? I missed it.

its a really annoying biased SCHTICK

[Atman]

20. I believe he's lying through his teeth about the schtick stuff

He's a smarmy, self-righteous asshole whose arrogance stems from literally getting away with murder. He lied his way out of that one, and he thinks he's invincible. He isn't. He's just a big fat dick.

15. I read somewhere last week that he was told to be more

partisan when he took the AM show. I can't remember where I read that, but it was an article about the different political show hosts and directions their bosses tell them to go in.

[Atman]

16. "Morning Joke" is right. I didn't think it possible, but he's gotten WORSE

If Mika says anything positive about Obama, Joe gets irate and says it's because "she's drunk on Obama love." Yet Joe doesn't seem to see the similarity when has NOTHING but platitudes for McCain, and beats up Obama every chance he gets. Joe isn't "drunk on McCain love," but Mika is "drunk on Obama love."

He's an utter, absolute asshole.

[Lint Head]

17. I wonder how sarcastic he was toward that female intern that died in his

Florida office? :dem:

[City Lights]

19. He's just doing what he's paid to do,

which is hooore for his GE-TeeVee masters.

I kicked my GE-TeeVee habit months ago (with the exception of Countdown ;-)). The last time I tuned in to Mourning Jerk was in March.

[annabanana]

21. He's watching the 'right wing cool" melt away and knows his time is limited..

I don't think he understands that now he just looks like a thug....

[Mass]

25. Aside being a racist and a Republican, you mean?\nt

[zulchzulu]

26. Moron Joe should be a TV shock jock on ESPN

He could be the "Blooper Guy"... that's his talent... jackshit.

[Peacetrain]

27. The Neo Con and their hangers on are at the end of their

time span of rule, and they know it. They are being carried out kicking and screaming and throwing a temper tantrum. Just like the 2 year old in the grocery store. Time to take them and put them in time out till they can pull themselves together.
