Joe Scarborough: "I think Tony Snow is a class act"

[Berry Cool]

for "apologizing" to David Gregory.

OK, who wants to be first to tell Joe: the operating term in that phrase is "ACT"???????

[tuvor]

1. What???? "Tony Snow is an ass hat?"

Speak louder, I'm having trouble hearing you!

[Lex]

5. OMG! Wiping diet coke off the keyboard!

Now that was funny. :rofl:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

11. I think he said, TONY HAS A GLASS ASS.

Can you hear me now???

[babylonsister]

2. Snowjob was so transparent. Trying to exhibit collegiality that

just isn't there, trying to 'act' bipartisan after accusing Gregory of being partisan. He's an, uh, "I DON'T KNOW", joke? :rofl:

16. To steal a line from Ghostbusters II-

"Give me a break-we're both reporters".

[Fridays Child]

3. I see that we were similarly moved to comment on that...

...divine apology: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2921656&mesg_id=2921656

:eyes:

4. That statement was a way of making a

dig at O'Lielly for not doing the same. Scarborough followed up the "compliment" with a snide "will O'Lielly do the same?"

[AlCzervik]

6. if he was a "Class act" he never would have said the now apologized for statement

to begin with.

7. Doesn't mean much coming from Scarborough who wouldn't know class

if it bit him in the ass.

[EST]

8. Compared to that fat, slimy little worm who used to play at

being press sec, Snowjob is class. The real problem is that we just don't understand politics.

We, or at least I, think if you are gonna get up in front of people you should tell the unvarnished truth or refuse to answer.

Tony Snow was a speech writer for bush 1 and often sat in for rump lushbutt in the mid nineties when ol' rush was off on a hillbilly heroin snortin, little boy raping escapade.

I have to admit to some gratification on watching wingnut Scarborough try to contort himself into some sort of "spokesman for the people" and line up to hold the rope so junior can commit hari kari.

His abdication of the truth about Gregory's question-when Gregory was reading the direct quote from his notes on the report-was laughably typical damning with faint praise.
Joe the scab can't shuck the stench of his pseudo-conservative swill.

9. Takes a class act to come up with this line:

"And if I expect you to do right by us, you have every right to expect that I'll do right by you."

So the Washington press corps job is to "do right by them"? I thought it was to get the facts out. Silly me.

[Golden Raisin]

10. That's Klass with a "K".

Snowjob will be right back tomorrow sneering, lying, spinning, lying, smirking, lying, condescending, lying, sanctimonious, lying, and being his usual arrogant SOB self.

[rodeodance]

12. JOE, I think you are a skitzoid.

[Generic Brad]

13. Tony Snow is a classless act

Perhaps Joe Scarborough misread his teleprompter.

[rhiannon55]

14. I might have blinked or something, but

didn't Snowjob say this (I read it in a previous post):

"And the reason I do that {apologize} is not only because it's the right thing, but because I want people in this room and also people who watch these to understand that the relations in this room are professional and collegial."

edited to add link.

And didn't Scarborough cut this part out of the video he showed? These words make it clear that his apology is all for show, and make Snowjob look like the calculating asshole he is. It would be harder to spin that "class act" crap into a big gold nugget for the repukes if viewers saw the apology in context.

15. Tony Snow is an organic, garden-variety asshole....

A lifetime frat boy who's never contributed anything useful.

[Blackhatjack]

17. Snow will rue the day he ever took this job, (just like 'Scottie boy')

Just think for a moment what it will be like to look back on all the drivel, disinformation and just plain lies he was put out in front of the press to push by Bush.

His name, like Scotties, will forever be linked to these events. People will read and understand that Snow and 'Scottie' helped bring the disaster visited on this nation by Bush and his Administration.

Truly a bad decision.
