Scarborough's gotta go...

[PCIntern]

I would rather listen to Novak or Freddie "the Beetle" Barnes in the morning. This Joey the Putz is the most sanctimonious, ignorant, racist, misogynistic, uninformed, insecure, dumb-ass republican shill on the air today bar none. I have to give credit to all the other bastards, well-represented on FOX and other networks inasmuch as they're creepily bright, verbal, and slimily sophisticated. Mofo's all, but they don't exhibit the gas-station-attendant mentality of this dope.

1. He is intolerable today.

I had to turn it off. Usually I can watch it and just ignore him for the most part. He just keeps going on about how blacks are wrong because they are not enthusiastic about McCain. He is taking it like they do not admire McCain. It is a stupid poll question that he is focusing on and I just don't get what he is trying to say.

6. The stupid ass said the fact that 95% of AAs supporting

Obama proves they hate McSame. He couldn't come up with the truth that they LOVE Obama and probably find McSame (if they even bother to look his way) irrelevant to their lives.

I would like to say it's the dumbest analysis I've heard in a long time but unfortunately Republican Radio and Fox News is filled with this kind of crap.

2. An insult to gas station attendants...:-)

[PCIntern]

4. I was waiting for your post!

:rofl:

[Kahuna]

3. I already sent him a nasty gram this morning. [e-mail]..

:evilgrin:

[pokercat999]

9. My email just sent reads as follows

"Joe,
Your comment this AM about the fact that 95% of African American voters support Sen. Obama over Sen. McCain proves they hate McCain is one of the dumbest remarks I’ve heard from anyone who is supposed to be “informed”.
You let no room for the possibility that AAs LOVE Sen. Obama and find John McCain irrelevant?
You sir are as dumb as a box of rocks, very stupid rocks, or you are a shill for the Republican Party……..or most likely both."


Bet they don't read that on the air.

[Kahuna]

12. LOL! Seems he's already gotten wind of a steady stream of emails..

coming his way. He has the chagrined look on his face. :)

[lamp_shade]

5. Agreed

I just listened to the jerk talking down to Mika as if she was an imbecile. The money must be good because she couldn't possibly have any dignity left.

[gaiilonfong]

7. time to google bomb "dead intern/Joe Scarborough/Morning Joe"

what is the criminal Skankboro doing now. I am at the airport waiting for my plane to Netroots Nation?
Is the ReTHUGlican enabler Mika going along with him and saying fair and balanced nonsense?

[autorank]

8. But he wants to be cool

I saw him on Bill Maher and Maher made a joke about "nighttime Joe" - the guy who wants to hang
with lefties.

He's consummately rude the way he interrupts and by the genetic material he got, he's a large dude...
so what does he do with that, he leans into people he's rudely interrupting.

Total agreement.

[PCIntern]

11. Perhaps he was 'leaning' into that intern when

she took 'exception' too.

[Waya]

10. Someone pissed in his Wheaties this morning......

.....he's rabid today - more so than usual.....

[sandyj999]

13. After Reading this ...............

I am so glad that I stopped watching his crap. My day was starting out badly and discovered watching him was the cause of it. He is an obnoxious jerk. Don Imus had the same effect on me and I had stopped watching him before he was "removed".

[PCIntern]

14. He's two levels below Imus....

joey is asymptotically approaching Absolute Zero.

[sandyj999]

19. Agreed!

Imus didn't try to sugar coat what he felt but Scar is the sneaky type.

[Patsy Stone]

15. Agreed

but I have to correct you. It's Fred "The Beadle" Barnes. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/beadle

[PCIntern]

17. I'm not questioning your veracity in this matter,

but what is the etymology, as it were, of McLauglin's creation of Barnes's nickname given the definition you cited?

I like mine better...it's more apt, but I'm interested...

[Patsy Stone]

22. The theory is

since McLaughlin was a Jesuit priest, it is from the religious usage. Here's a reference from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadle

"John McLaughlin, the host of The McLaughlin Group, used to call former panelist Fred Barnes "The Beadle". McLaughlin's use of the term may well derive from his experiences when he was a Jesuit student or priest (see above)."

25. thanks! interesting...

16. My Cable Is Out This Morning...

And I'm not missing it one bit...just watching replays of Countdown.

What do you expect from a GOOP hack? Joey is using TV like Raygun did...build up a name for himself for future political use. He sees his corrupt party in freefall and he's in a good place...away from both the blame and disaster. He probably sees his party in for a massive bloodletting after the election...and he's positioning himself to re-enter and ride in as a "new" repugnican...free from the booooosh taint.

Personally, I can't watch the intern killer...I can barely stand any of the bobbleheads on cable these days. The coverage this year has been so bad that I watch it only to see what latest spin...it's not either "News" or either information.

18. Squinty McNarrowVision.

graduated top of his class in Assclown College.

[nomaco-10]

20. He's definitely got the evil eye thing going on...

this morning.

I always think when I see that menacing look he gets, it must have been the last image Lori Klausutis must have seen.

[ErinBerin84]

21. he is extra vile today.

"Breaking news, the Daily Show actually made a joke about Barack Obama last night!" They've been doing that for months, jack ass. It's not our fault that McCain is such endlessly goofier and easier to make fun of than our nominee. Though I cracked up when that guy from NY magazine came on and said "Hi Joe, I don't think your eyes look like little raisins when you are tired..."

[spanone]

23. he's already gone in my home....i'd rather have dental surgery with enhanced pain pills

[obtheatre]

24. True, but...

He's better than Chris Matthews.

[iamahaingttta]

26. Why do you people do this to yourselves?

Why don't you just turn that crap off?

[Evergreen Emerald]

27. Yesterday he talked about the e-mails he and Mika received

Apparently Mika said something that Obama supporters disagreed with and they recieved 100's of e-mails. Barnacle said there should be an IQ test before people can open an e-mail account.

[ellacott]

28. There should also be an IQ test for Joe
