2. He was a big BushCo operative, that's why he got the TV show.
Now that BushCo lost its lease, I don't know whether or not the GOP attack machine still feels a need to have this mealy-mouthed attack dog on the air.

Remember the irony...Joe replaced Imus after Imus said a bad thing on the air. I think it's only fair that Joe be gone, too.

3. I doubt it. He'll be spanked, and warned and MSNBC will have to pay $
but I don't see him totally gone.

18. no fines on MSNBC
the government doesn't regulate "indecent" speech on cable networks.

But it wouldn't surprise me if there was a clause in Joe's contract with MSNBC that subjects him to fines/suspension or some other discipline for using certain language.

17. I noticed that too...
Scarborough is obsessed with Rahm. He doesn't even give the guy a chance. He drones on and
on and on about how the choice of Rahm is a slap in the face to every Republican.

JS understands what goes on behind-the-scenes on the Hill. He has probably witnessed Rahm
behaving like a pit bull. It sounds like Rahm does play hardball.

Good.

I don't agree with Rahm 100 percent, but the last thing we need in an Obama administration is
some mealy-mouthed wimp who gets walked over on a daily basis. I think Joe's just upset that
the Obama administration isn't going to be so easily manipulated.

Harry Reid gives away the store when the big, bad Republicans look at him sideways.

I've had enough of that.

11. Randi doesn't do anything before 10 AM.
Plus, hosts can't smoke on-air. Randi needs at least 15 cigs, along with strong coffee, to wake up. She's a nightowl.

20. He's like a used paper towel.



He served his purpose to the righties, and we can all see what good that did them.
Now he has no further function. He's history. Buh-bye dickface.

22. He is getting so Imus like he should be shipped to Fox or RFD! Why do they keep him on?
He is on the stump every frickin' day for the Repub's! I have sent many emails to MSNBC to get him off the air! Maybe someday they will listen to the viewers!

41. She has changed so much I think they did a mind warp on her! What happen?
Someone said the other day that they think she is having an affair with Joe. I won't go that far, but she is not the same Mika who started out on the show.

Maybe if enough of us complain about this 3 hour Republican free advertisement program Scarborough puts on each day MSNBC may listen!

31. It isn't just this one time - Scarbourough uses this show as a 3 hr GOP commercial.
He thinks he can say anything and I personally am sick of it! Fox News should be so lucky!

27. fucking hilarious
I can't stand Joe, but it's fucking hilarious when someone drops the F bomb on live TV.

Maybe under Obama, our nation will stop getting its drawers in a bunch over the occasional F bomb.

28. I think...
...that Joe wants out, period. This isn't his first "screw up" and if they don't let him go, it won't be his last. A lot of people (outside of DU and Freepville) equate Fox News = Republican Spin and, I'm sure many will disagree, but a lot of people (outside of DU and Freepville) equate MSNBC = Democratic Spin. Perhaps Joe is contemplating politics again and being "fired" by the "liberal media" will bring him back in the graces of the Republican Party. If someone wants to reshape the republican party, this is a good time to get in the ground level while the hard right continues to bury themselves with their mouths.

36. What do you expect people to say to the FCC?
"Your ideas about swearing are old-fashioned, and you shouldn't get so worried"?

"He just reported what someone else said - he didn't insult anyone"?

"Scarborough is a wanker for different reasons, but I'll take any way I can of getting him off cable TV"?

"I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that a presenter would swear on live TV - fine these miscreants until their pockets are empty!" ?

37. No thanks.
For one it's cable, so the FCC doesn't give a fuck.

Secondly, we don't need government censorship.
