Joe scarborough laughing about the watergate..
break in louisana and trying to pretend as though it is not serious but if it was a Dem he would have led with it and blown it up for sure. Next,story was about lieberman and some others on the 911 commission who are complaining christmas day bomber and how it is being prosecuted.


He got so excited and said Liberals don't realize that this is a big story. Why doesn't he think the Watergate break in is a big story and why do liberals need to realize that this 911 story is suppose to be big.

Its because they are trying to link this to the upcoming terrorists trials in New york..

1. Talking head trying to tell people what they should think
Oh everyone, this story is big and that one is nothing.

The sad truth is that his devoted followers will take him up on it and the viewers over at FAUX will do the same and all talking heads will follow along.

3. To tell the truth I don't listen to any talking heads from either side
as their followers chant how they are on fire, having a mass orgasm. I'd rather think for myself than parrot the words and thoughts of others.

7. He always is trying to set up..
the storyline for the day "oh this is nothing" Last night,Pat Buchanan was trying to tell the audience that if they did it they must have had a good reason for doing it.

Mike Barnicle was trying to say their was no evidence and Dillon Ratigan told him they had on uniforms and were dressed as fake technicians.

4. Did you even listen? He said they should be thrown in jail and should not see the light of day if
phone tapping. He was laughing at those who call it equal to Watergate - but who wouldn't? Watergate bought down a president not a petty criminal who thinks he is a journalist

5. Watergate started with petty criminals
The difference was, back then we had real journalists following a story that led to the fall of a president. Now we have douchebags like Scarborough who put out the fire immediately. Especially when that fire puts his interests at stake.

29. No the difference is that these are CIA wannabees who didn't even have
the foresight to print up some fake ID on their home computer.

11. Him and Pat Buchanan..
Buchanan was quite hyper as he tried every excuse in the book. It must have brought back the memories of watergate for him.

18. Ever notice all the depression pill ads throughout the show?
Script:

VO: Are you mad at things? Feel like people are doing a bad job? Do some people seem incompetent and stupid to you?

There is a solution.

Damnitol. Wash that anger away.

Damnitol.

They are still trying to figure that one out.They brought in a medical examiner who was on suspension got him to do the autopsy and then he resigned, or was let go, or was on his way to Rio.

Edited on Wed Jan-27-10 10:43 AM by mstinamotorcity
thought this.But if you ever noticed whenever Joe call himself the voice of moderate America I wonder do they know exactly who he is and what has gone on in his political life as much as they watch our President.hell they can tell me why the First Lady shouldn't go sleeveless,but they can't tell me what happened to the dead woman found in office s--t with Joe.Its a lot of people who don't know about Mr. Scarborough.He is shady as they come.And his tongue is set from the fires of hell with rhetoric and lies.:evilfrown: :evilfrown: :evilfrown:

24. Because just like she
revealed part of her persona in her book,he is scared that she might reveal some crucial things on him.Of course they will try and spin it as a p.r. thing as though he is helping her to launch her book and is there because she is his friend and he is lending his support and star power to make her a sucess. A simple way of not being overshadowed by Mika or her book.You know how self absorbed he is.

32. It was mentioned on Good Morning America this morning
(at the end of their news). Their closing remark was "we'll see if this is a real crime or just a prank gone wrong."

The corp news definitely wants to downplay this.

33. Which means we will jump on the bandwagon..
after we see what Bush/Cheney/Armey and the rest of the wingnuts tell us which way to go with the story. We don't have any damn media! If these were Dems we would be hearing about it forever non-stop..

36. "John Brennen isn't impressed with lieberman's
Fort Hood Concern"..

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/

<snip>

"In a previously undisclosed letter, John Brennan, the White House counterterrorism advisor, pushes back on complaints on Capitol Hill that the Obama administration has not been cooperative with Congress over the Nov. 5 massacre at Fort Hood, Texas.

"I do not believe this is a fair or accurate assessment," Brennan writes."Starting from the first moments after this tragedy, the President directed us to keep Congress appropriately informed."

Brennan goes on to detail the various briefings members of the administration have given to congressional leaders, committee chairs, and staffers, and promises that more information from the Pentagon, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the FBI is forthcoming.

The letter, addressed to Joseph Lieberman and Susan Collins, is dated Jan. 27 and was exclusively obtained by The Cable. It is ostensibly a response to a Dec. 3 request by the two senators, who cochair the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, for certain unspecified documents.

To the Army's evident discomfort, Lieberman has suggested repeatedly that the Fort Hood shooting was terrorism, not a random act by a mentally disturbed individual, and vowed to use the committee to fully investigate the incident. The shooter, Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, has been linked to Anwar al-Awlaqi -- the radical Yemeni-American cleric who has since become a top "kill or capture" target for U.S. intelligence agencies and Special Forces teams operating in Yemen -- but Hasan showed signs of deep emotional instability before his Nov. 5 attack."

And, it will feel like a big story when james o'keefe and buddies are in a Federal Pen..unless one of their daddies, the Acting US District Attorney for the Western Distric of Louisiana, William Flanagan, keeps them out?
