JOE SCARBOROUGH is whining about a DOUBLE STANDARD
in the media and the coverage of Palin's pregnant daughter...
YOU BET there's a double standard, Joe. If there WERE really a liberal media in this country, Lori Klausutis would be a name as well-known as Chandra Levy, and Gary Condit would be your co-host.
FUCKER!!!!

1. "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" Ask mcCane for his punchline.
"WhiteHouse dog"? Ask drug addict Limbaugh.


Oh yeah, Joe, there's a "double standard"; everything is ok if you're a republican. THAT'S the double standard.

2. Whining
As I recall, Ms. Palin lectured Hillary about whining about press coverage. Maybe Joe and the entire republican party should get with the program.

4. Scarborough needs to explain McCain
and why he can crack jokes at Chelsea Clinton expense.

And you know Joe himself is no stranger to the low road.
In fact, innuendo is is schtick.

5. What Is He Basing It On
I just want to know what he is basing this on. Is he giving a alternative situation in which something like this happened to a Democrat and the media did not discuss it. So, what was Scarborough giving/saying as his evidence for the double standard.

6. Jonathan Alter brought up Al Gore's son, getting caught with weed
in his car, so he smacked Joe down on that one; Joe claims to have evidence or knowledge of a kid of some pol who's being protected for whatever, but he won't come forth with it 'cos he doesn't want to "out" the kid - says they should be off-limits.

12. It was probably a sit up anyway.
Turns out the pictures supposedly given to the press by the sister of the boyfriend, is actually pictures of the sister of the boyfriend. Another story to get people talking about what is not important so what is important can get by, and then what we would be talking about would turn out to be lies. My bad for even posting the links.

7. ...and if this were Barack's & Michelle's daughter??
Forgettaboutit!!!!!
The righteously racist right would be dancing around the burning stake.
Double standard?? Yeah Joe. Sure is.
Anything your party does - criminal or otherwise - is "patriotic".
Anything your opposition does is "anti-American".
Go to hell, Joe and take your racist righty friends with you.

8. Or if it had been Chelsea Clinton? Holy shit, can you imagine the
Edited on Tue Sep-02-08 09:06 AM by grannylib
Reich Wing firestorm that would have ensued??
'Nuf said.

On edit: The SS would have a lot to answer for if that had been the case, I would imagine...she moved into the WH at 12, and was still living there at 17, wasn't she?

9. Proof Hillary Clinton Should Not Be President
If this same thing had happened to the Clintons we would probably have never seen a Hillary Clinton candidacy. The Republicans would have said it was proof that Hillary Clinton was incapable of running a country.

13. To Use Their Old Line...
"What do we tell the children"...so much for "family values" (GOOPers think it's a drug store chain in Indiana)

This fart in a spacesuit was one of the biggest Clenis hunters...all verklempt of the "breakdown of American morals", but IOKIYAR.

It's a double standard when you live in a partisan world...there's the bubbleworld they live in where everyone lives in the 1950s vs. the real world he's never been connected with.

14. There certainly is a double standard, if one of the Obama girls was 17 unmarried and
pregnant, the republicans would be having a field day.

15. Maybe we should ask Joe what really happened to Lori Klausutis!
She was the 28-year-old office worker for Scarborough, and was found dead in the congressman's district office.

Suicide or was it foul play???

16. That's what the original thread is about: Joe got a total pass from
the media on that deal, and he's whining about a double standard??? He's BENEFITED from the right wing, corporate whore, M$M covering up his little scandal.

17. When Palin was asked by TIme magazine about Hillary
Clinton's complaints during the primaries, Palin called her a whiner. Heard Olbermann talking about that today.
