I think Scarborough's either drunk or manic...

[PCIntern]

his behavior on the MSNBC show bears almost no resemblance to the evening show (most nights). I understand that all these guys have different personae for broadcast, but there's something about his 'act' which is unsettling. It's almost a malicious frat-boy affect - remind you of anyone else you see routinely on teevee?

There may be several reasons beside dead intern-itis why he's out of Congress.

[Little Star]

1. Seems the same as always to me. n/t

[PCIntern]

2. Manically sexually charged statements...

innuendo at night, flagrant by day.

whichever...he's still a terrible putz.

[skiddlybop]

4. You are right.

His tics are coming out because he realizes he was in one cushy spot with the nighttime show, hated the fact that he ran on Olbermann's fumes but lost over half the audience...

For an instant he thought he was going to make a swan dive into a different spot but now he sees that the morning thing will expose him more and take him out of his comfort zone and eventually destroy him. Tall poppy syndrome and all that.

So he's now babbling manically and subconsciously so conflicted about where it's all going -- at night he's a failure but safe, in the morning, the whole process brings back the intern issue because he's just a celebrity.

3. he's just more informal/silly on the morning show

And I think people should quit accusing him of murder unless they have evidence that he killed someone.

[skiddlybop]

5. Not accusing. Associating.

There was a dead intern in his office. FACT.

There was a cover-up. FACT.

Why? FAIR QUESTION.

And worth a lot more examination than Paris Hilton getting out of jail.

6. you don't see me calling for more coverage of Paris

If Joe Scarborough killed his intern, I want to see him sentenced to life in prison. (I'm against the death penalty.) But I haven't seen it yet. Just endless, baseless innuendo. FACT.

8. The situation in his office was so serious that Joe left Congress,

a cushy job that could have lasted 20 - 30 years as it has for Madame Squeaker. Why would Joe give that up?

[Syrinx]

10. wasn't he in Washington, and the young woman in Pensacola?

Or maybe vice versa. I'm no fan of Joe Scarborough, but I see no evidence that he is a murderer.

[partylessinOhio]

13. I didn't say he was just that something is behind Joe leaving Congress.

You know that those leaches stay until they push up daisies.

[Bravo Zulu]

7. is he worth watching in the morning

I watched his evening show once in a while, but haven't bothered watching now that abrams is on?

[Bucky]

9. I understand he has some serious back/joint problems. He could be medicated.

But yes, there's a lot of frat boy to him. Still, he's more Otter than Bluto.

12. he was the anti-frat candidate when he ran for SGA president

At the University Of Alabama in the early eighties. He ran against the Machine. He gets points from me for that.

[PCIntern]

14. I've become a Rethug in the sense that

I'm not giving these Bush Apologists, these Selection 2000 Apologists, any points at all whatsoever. Not one.

When they move to the middle, I'll consider whether I want to move to the middle. they've destroyed the country we knew and are trying to absolve themselves of the responsiblity, and I won't contribute to that.

15. This AM he showed Leno saying that Paris' ankle bracelet was around her head

at about 12 Midnight...Mika Brz. didn't get it...he was laughing and leering..."You don't get the last joke? You don't know why her ankle would be up around her head somewhere? We'll tell you at the break. Haha."
