Scarborough is getting it, he is PISSED... over the journalists'

[HysteryDiagnosis]

phone records.... I mean majorly PO'd.

[faithnotgreed]

1. any details are appreciated

its good to know he is covering at least one important topic though i know he has been upset of late (seemingly over the right things too)

[Avalux]

2. I'm watching - he's on fire with this.

I never thought I'd see the day when I agree with him. He's doing a good job with this - playing that stupid song from the 80's, lol. (Somebody's Watching Me).

He said "We don't trust you with our phone records, medical records, etc....and from now on if you want to look at them, you have to get a court order."

"You certainly understand the danger of the government going through phone records of journalists every time they want to - the government would go unchecked by the media."

"If Nixon had done this, Watergate would never have happened".

(not exact words, but close).

28. Scarborough is the ONLY one I heard address this

tonight.

I think talking to Olbermann every night has shamed him. But even KO did not run with this tonight. I wonder why not?

[Berry Cool]

29. Actually, KO did mention it.

Maybe you missed that part. I clearly recall him referencing it.

[adigal]

30. Ooopss. I did miss it.

I was wondering why he did not talk about it. Thanks for the correction. :)

[Wickerman]

he remains a republican murderer

[Swamp Rat]

7. It finally hits home for him.

;)

Now Slayborough can be easily blackmailed by Big Brother.

[leftchick]

18. I thought that was debunked here

I swear I read here how that story ended up being bogus and some folks had to do some apologizing to him.

[Wickerman]

22. he's supported the giggling murderer

I won't linger on his slight criticism of Bush of late. Similar to the Tweety gets it posts. Next week this clown will be selling his soul for Bush again.

edit = spelling

[Rainscents]

3. Yea, but before end of the show, he'll blame Clinton!

[malaise]

4. He's pissed indeed n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Amazing... He's ranting!

If this had happened during the Nixon administration, Deep Throat would have been caught and we'd never have known about Watergate. Reporters will ditch their cell phones and go back to parking garages.

[Olney Blue]

6. He used the Nixon example- Watergate would never had

happened if phone calls from Deep Throat had been tapped.

[malaise]

8. Who is this moron? n/t

[Olney Blue]

12. Can you be more specific? Too many morons to choose from....

:hi:

[C_U_L8R]

15. Moron is putting mildly

The asshat invoked 9-11 and started conjuring ghosts.
Whenever these republican stooges get cornered
they all start yelling 9-11 without rhyme or reason.

Ridiculous.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Some asshat Republican strategist

with his head up his behind. Other guy talks about how all other presidents have used national security as an excuse to do this shit. Problem of concentrated executive power. Scarborough isn't buying it, talks about how the Repubs didn't like it when Clinton tried to use exec power, but there's nothing this White House can do that seems to offend conservatives. Sounds like maybe Joe has pulled his head out of his ass on at least this issue.

[Gabi Hayes]

21. had to be the TOTALLY UNCTUOUS Jack Burkman, repug

'strategist,' read PR whore

he's one of the oiliest creeps I've ever seen

he even said he'd support HILLARY's doing the same thing in 2009, under the "SAME" circumstances

hard break at that point didn't allow him to say more, but I sure would have loved to hear him squirm at JS's premise of the pugs NEVER being offended at ANYTHING Bush does

I was stunned he said that, cause that's the way HE used to be.

not saying he won't revert, but this was pretty shocking stuff

good for him. now, Joe, what happened to Lori?

[leesa]

27. Joe's misbehaving lately...we may yet find out what happened to Lori.

I think half of these talking heads that blather for Bush have some crime in their past that they have negotiated their way out of....embarrass yourself by spewing nonsense in defense of the indefensible and we will get you out of that murder charge. I often wonder what Tweety's done.

[rodeodance]

20. yes, twice he brought up how Watergate reporters would never had

gotten the story out.

[Duer 157099]

9. When they heard the NSA was keeping records

did they honestly think they were exempt? I don't get the outrage (I mean, beyond outrage at the mere fact of the NSA collecting the data.)

Does the term "slippery slope" not mean anything to these people?

[eShirl]

10. who's the idiot "this is a war on American soil" ?

"The first war on American soil since 1812."

I guess the dog ate the part of his history textbook that covered the Civil War.

[MichiganVote]

11. Awwww...poor baby...he thought he was special to * too.

Ass kissing, suck up gonna find out he's been listened to as much as anyone else.

[Hamlette]

13. just said "is there NOTHING Bush can do that would upset you

conservatives? And he used the "what if Hillary is prez"

Of course the conservative lied. But it did give him pause.

[AX10]

14. Joe is no sheep.

[ray of light]

16. is there a link on the web to listen?

or a transcript?

[rodeodance]

19. this issue has been overshawded by the immigration stuff which KO says

was an attempt by BushCo to change the subject.

[kestrel91316]

23. Relax, Joe. They won't tap YOUR phones. You're a good Republican.

The spying is reserved for the OPPOSITION.

[madrchsod]

25. to these guys everyone is suspect

they are no different than the nazis, stalinists,and maoists. they all did the same thing with in their political system..everyone was watched.

[kestrel91316]

26. Yeah, I think they might want to gather intel that they can blackmail him

with if he gets it into his head to turn on Bush.

[Generic Brad]

24. That explains our complicit MSM

If they're not on the payroll, they are being spied on. It sucks living in the United States of Russia.
