Morning Joe: There we go: Joe Biden's comment allowing McCain to move from economy to leadership

[LittleApple81]

as per morning Joe.
I do not understand Biden's need to puff himself at this point. Even if understand he was trying to reassure people that he will have good advice, it is not what was needed at this point.

1. It must have come off of the talking points memo fax from the GOPer's this AM

Be sure this is the talking point for the rest of the week.

[JeanGrey]

2. I wish Joe would just shut up for two weeks.

[gateley]

21. Yes, because Lord knows he hasn't said anything that has helped our ticket,

has he? :eyes:

[JeanGrey]

22. It's the things that DON'T HELP that concern me.

:eyes:

3. Please pass the MSM Kool-Aid

Any neutral observer would understand that Palin's comments about pro-America were much more damaging than these comments. Also, the economy is the #1 issue on American's minds. If McCain wants to stop talking about the economy and talk about how he and his incompetent running mate are ready for foreign policy challenges, the Obama camp would happily accept that.

Also, I didn't see you point out the spine of steel part of the comment. Fair and balanced indeed. :eyes:

Looking forward to you thread concerning Palin's pro-America comments. :hi:

5. Not passing, just making aware. They are emphasizing all the negative

aspects of the quotes (yes, they even had that there were two Biden quotes during the same speech, or some such junk). I think it is important to know what is coming and Joe's program is always the first kool-aid dispensing media place in the morning besides Faux News.

4. I turned it off as soon as they started the spin

Little Mika and big mouth Joe get more and more irritating with each passing minute.

6. I wrote them an e-mail

telling them that they were like a Fox & Friends knock-off and I was going to watch CNN's morning show until they changed. I also made sure to lament about how sad that I was that I was a loyal viewer leaving a show that I used to love. :rofl:

[anniebelle]

7. I think Colin Powell addressed this point most eloquently in his endorsement of Obama.

That to me was one of his most important reasons for endorsing Obama over Gramps.

[GalleryGod]

8. Joey Scar's Dad to hold "Come Clean" Press Conference!

No mistaking those ferret face features!
Illegitimate Joe ! WoW!

[RichGirl]

9. People aren't all stupid.

You can't look at a crisis without thinking that Palin could be the one in power. They can brag up McCains creds all they want, but he is old and not too healthy.

[DefenseLawyer]

10. You wish Joe

Keep trying.

[seabeyond]

11. what did joe say. i heard one thing yesterday about obama being ready... dont know what that

has to do with joe "puffing" himself?

[1776Forever]

12. Here is a quote and a link for more info - personally I think Joe was "warning" against Palin

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/20/1572652.aspx

Biden’s assessment would seem in line with Lieberman’s, but rather than evoking the potential for a crisis as evidence Obama was not ready,Biden raised the notion to argue precisely the opposite.

“They're going to want to test him, just like they did young John Kennedy,” he said Saturday night in San Francisco.” They're going to want to test him. And they're going to find out this guy's got steel in his spine.”

13. i dont see why people on du are flippin and yelling at joe. so not a big deal. this is what media

does to the dems and have for last handful of campaigns. some on du seem to be sucked into it attacking our own, which is stupid.

thanks for info

didnt think it was a deal yesterday. dont think it is a deal today.

14. your conern is noted

.

[endthewar]

20. I'm concerned about your concern for this concerner

:rofl:

[high density]

15. Who gives a fuck what is on this program???

Damn, I am getting tired of people coming on here and whining about Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough. The guy is a Repuke, he's going to find any way to prop up McCain. And Mika is going to sit there and smile as he does it.

Do what I do and just shut off the TV set. I consider MSNBC to be equal to Fox News before Tweety comes on at 5pm.

[deadparrot]

16. Amazing. A Republican using Republican talking points?

OH NOES!!!! THE WORLD IS OVER!!!!11

[Mass]

17. Leadership - the reason why Powell, Adelman, and a few other conservatives have endorsed Obama.

Is McCain sure he wants to go there?

[nomaco-10]

18. Over two solid hours of non stop snarky, condescending...

remarks about Biden. Mika driving the hungry pack with help of course from buchannan with guest help from harwell, andrea mitchell and david gregory. You may as well be watching that bunch of brain dead morans over at the FUX morning zoo.

Dan Rather was introduced as guest host and barely got two sentences out before he just disappeared without so much as a goodbye in the second hour, but not before joe insulted him and disagreed with him about Biden.

joe then berates mika for not having her ear piece on when they came back from break and called her "mommy" who needs to quit mixing her vodka with ambien, called her mommy again to gregory. mika the moron was dutifully sorry and contrite of course. WTF is wrong with her? She's a total embarrassment to all women and journalists everywhere.

In other words, it's another clusterfuck this morning with all the usual suspects.

[Jennicut]

19. Why does anyone watch this show? Joe S. is a rethug.

And he will always take their side on everything. CNN barely mentioned it yesterday.

[beachmom]

23. The discussion seems to be that Barack Obama is like John F. Kennedy.

I have no problem at all with McCain comparing Obama to Kennedy. Does anyone else have a problem with it?

[Meshuga]

24. Wishful thinking and frustration from morning joe

That's what it is. :-)
