I'm trying to call out Joe Scarborough on something....
Did anyone else hear him suggest that the plane crash in NY could have been "terrorism"?

I think it was on Thursday morning (but the week is a blur)... and he was asking some "expert" if there could be "another cause" since the pilot didn't radio mechanical problems and the plane went straight down only 5 miles from the airport.

Now that the cause is believed to be ice and weather-related, I would like to send that jackass a scathing email. I don't usually watch him, because he makes me nauseous, but I did catch that part of his inane discussion while getting ready for work.

1. I didn't hear him say that, but the
truth is that Joe Scarborough is just a big mouth hack with limited intellect. He says stupid things. He is not from the thinkers.

3. I dont' know how he deserves to have a TV program.
He is so obnoxious... and stupid. I usually watch Washington Journal, but was flipping and caught just that part.

2. He is Deaf to Criticism
Republiscums don't care about reality.
You would probably be better off complaining to MSNBC
or their advertisers.

Or do like I do and just never ever watch him.

4. Yes, that was my intent.
I want to complain about him, but I need more facts. My hazy memory isn't enough. I also think he should be Worst Person in the World!

7. I watch Joe and listen to Rush.
It is very important to to be current on those guys to defuse them. I got a lot of mileage on Rush when he said he thought it was wrong to collect money and not work, talking about the UAW retirees. I pointed out the contradiction in Stan O'neal who collected $180,000,000 in a retirement package.

"As the crisis worsened, O'Neal approached Wachovia Bank without the approval of Merrill's Board of Directors, which arguably led to his ouster<4>. O'Neal walked away with a golden parachute compensation package that included Merrill stock and options valued at $161.5 million at the time.<3> O'Neal's supporters responded that the package was not a "Golden Parachute" but options O'Neal had at the firm that had vested and were rightfully his."

9. did he suggest it, or did he question an expert as to it's possibility?
If the latter - then you are just showing your dislike for him.

You seem to suggest he was asking.

10. BTW
It is impossible to get through to those people. Although they do the "NEWS" they are not the least interested in anything except their scripts.
