Scarborough
I'm done. The guy is a pig and a bore. All he can think of to comment on this a.m. is Michael Moore's weight, and how boring his movie 'Sicko' is?
IMO that shows he's a dullard and a blowhard, and I will just have to tune him out from now on.
MSNBC calls this journalism?

1. it is obvious that a staffer saw it for him
and gave him the GOP stalking points.

2. You must have missed his earlier trashing of the Live Earth concerts.
Seemed to think that the music was provided by groups of has-beens. Could find no redeeming value.

Then he did a riff on that Time article about if Obama was "black enough" and started going on about "shuckin' and jivin'". He's also spent a bit of time taking jabs at the women on the show that could be construed as sexist.

That ass, John Ridley, sits there and tries to take the barbs out but contributes his own I don't know what...unique spin to it. Where did they find that guy? I'd never seen him before.

15. I heard that Llive Earth stuff
I was up too late and flipped on msnbc at 3am and listened while I made my bed. He was saying that no one watched it, that it was a failure. What a loon.

I did like Scarborough Country because he seemed fair on there, but hearing that and seeing him mock Mika when she tore up the Paris news story has turned me off of him for good.

3. He doesn't follow Keith anymore
so he doesn't have to play suck up to avoid losing viewers. :eyes:

5. At least in that spot, he occasionally tried to resemble a journalist.
Guess the pressure's now off and he can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt he has no standards.

6. ...and he calls himself a "man of the people?"
Michael Moore has done MORE for average Americans than Beadyeyes has ever HOPED to!

8. He certainly isn't the one to be
talking about how someone else looks.

Hi CH!!

7. He wasn't half bad
if he got left on after KO. I have never caught the am show, not usually up at this hour of the am.
Figures his true colors would show through when he doesn't have to worry about losing ratings after Keith.

10. By them putting Joe in that spot
and Abrams in his spot, it didn't leave much to hope that MSNBC would realize WHY Keith's ratings are so high.
He speaks the truth. He doesn't carry water for this administration....take your pick.
Instead, they are adding more waterboys and fewer journalists and that is just sad.
I would send a letter to Abrams but he has me blocked from his email.:mad:

13. Hell, I wish they would give Allison Stewart the spot after Keith's
She always does a good job filling in when Keith is on vacation. I bet she would have a good show. Abrams sucks, Scarborough would have to improve drastically to even reach suck. Keith is the only thing worth watching on MSNBC (although I sometimes torture myself with Tweety).
