As you fume at Joe Scab, keep this in mind:

His audience is relatively minuscule compared to Fox, and especially the network morning fashion/cooking/celebrity gossip "news" shows. Scab's show is intended for political junkies. Most "normal" Americans are more interested in light pop culture fare with their morning coffee.

It seems like a big percentage of Scarborough's audience is us and we go on defense when we should be on offense.

Well, it's not like coming into an established forum, and before you build a reputation for yourself, or relationships with anyone, you just start insulting everyone.

Now that would be stupid.

He knows he's the brown shoes on the tuxedo at the network now. The real stars and money makers are in the evening...he's a "token" on the network he once ruled the roost. Joey's also using this show to amp up his profile for a future run for something...or from someone. He has been more pompous than usual...including when he skewers Willard. He's a legend in his own mind and hopes to rise above the ashes of the rushpublican party in November and be their next "Raygun". In short...the guy's insufferable...
