Suck-Ass Morning Joe Scarborough show
Joe Scarborough show is so weak, because they continuously invited these weak ass people on his show to debate their view on a subject. He either over talks them or insults them with sarcasm. Someone really needs to debate him with balls and kick him in the ass with facts again, like the others from some of the MSNBC shows. Keith Oberman, Rachael M or Meeka's father where are you, because his cast of pussies never stand up to him and he disrespect them all the time.

1. WHY do you watch that crap?
Do yourself a favor and turn the teevee off.

3. I had to turn off after watching that Christa lady
I would have torn him to shreds during that discussion on ideology. I would have asked him how come he only criticizes Bush after he was out of office. I would have told him he is a fugging ideologue who should STFU and walked off the set.
That might have brought them the coverage they seek.

4. Morning Joe
and the panel of the day always go into 5 to 10 minute "Isn't this such a great show? Aren't we great?! We have such DIVERSE VIEWS HERE! No ideaologues here! All about asking the TOUGH questions and HEARING PEOPLE'S OPINIONS!" These wack off jobs last so long. And Joe thinks he is soooooooo unique for pretending to criticize the Bush administration. Isn't he special? And he wishes that "for once, a leader could be driven by MATH and not ideology!" Puh-lease. And he constantly acts as if he doesn't go off into hyperbole land.

6. PSST here is the BIG STORY about Morning Joke.
http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/06/tiller-murder-what-about-joe/

He's IGNORING the Tiller terrorist murder because he sponsored the first doctor murders in Florida as a wingnut congresspuke.

"...Scarborough's hometown of Pensacola -- where his show once frequently originated -- was the site of the first two abortion murders, the second also occurring during his first run for Congress in 1994. A raw 30-year-old, Scarborough's surprising Republican win was principally funded by anti-abortion groups and he immediately went to Washington and voted against bills to protect abortion clinics, including one version sponsored by a Republican congressmen.

Griffin handwrote the Voice two long letters last year after we contacted him in prison, describing in depth his relationship with Scarborough. While Scarborough tried to minimize his ties in an interview, claiming he was merely doing "a favor for a friend" and briefly searching for a lawyer who'd take the case to trial, Griffin detailed Scarborough's efforts to stay on the case and work with the trail attorney. The court record itself shows that Scarborough told the judge he was prepared to try the case, and that he represented Griffin for nearly three months."

7. I used to enjoy it.

Now it reminds me of "College Game Day." It is so fake and scripted.

8. If someone stands up to him with facts he can't dispute...

He'll just get up and walk off the show.

14. OMG! I just had a flashback to the last time Rachael Maddow and him mixed it up ...
yeah, Rachael handed right-wing moron Joe his political ass and the next camera shot - instead of Joe sulking, an empty chair. :evilgrin:

Rachel Maddow OWNS! Joe Scarborough

"Joe, let me make my point and then you can dismiss me?" :spray:

9. People aren't going to like this....
Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 06:46 AM by aaaaaa5a

and it might be an exaggerated opinion. But when I watch Morning Joe it almost seems like domestic abuse. Joe circles himself with weak women (Mika, Chrystia, etc.) and then shouts them down and bullies them around. I don't think Mika could stand up for herself in the face of a mild breeze. She has allowed Joe to reshape her entire personality and schtick! (The radio show is even worse!) This morning he bullied Chrystia too. And I thought Chrysta was going to run and hide under the table.



Maybe Joe just doesn't like women who can stand up for themselves. I remember him walking off the set when Maddow "smacked" him around on another cable talk show last year.



It's hard to watch. And yes, I will say it. The few women on the show are real weak. I wish they had the fortitude Ed Schultz had when he was on the show.


The brief segment I saw today was terrible.

20. I thought Chrystia handled him fine. Esp. when she said she'd like to have her baby in Toronto!
She was very good on universal single payer health care and she's sitting there, very pregnant, telling Joe et al that she thinks she'd get better care from the Canadian system than the American one. There was nothing Joe could say back to her.

21. Good!

I'm glad she didn't back down to Joe (the dead intern)! I missed that segment. It must have come on later in the show after I had left for work!


It still doesn't say much for Mika though!

22. Mika's hopeless. Christya was confident and smiling when she said she wanted her baby to be born in
Toronto. Joe was just shocked. So sad, too bad...

12. Joe "The Dead Intern" Scab-Borrow is a self absorbed idiot.
He does not like anyone that is smarter than him, who are most people, on his show.

Don't waste your time watching this cretin.

15. VandenHeuval is "a class act." Not everyone is a good debater but Kristina is super-intelligent.
Our progressive ARMY needs all it's troopers ... not just the macho/a kick-ass ones. ;)

16. got that right! She is very intelligent.
Edited on Wed Jun-03-09 07:28 AM by DrDan
My post suggesting she was a "weak ass guest" was meant to suggest criticism of the OP. Perhaps not clear.

She is one of my favorite guests on any show. I enjoy her insight.

18. Cool. Yes, I wish that she was more bold on the uptake but it's not in her nature.
As a person who sometimes behaves like a dumb-ass and goes on a tear, I can claim with veracity that being tentative is not always "a bad thing." Unfortunately, my diagnosed ADHD is NOT an excuse, just an explanation. :blush: ;)

19. Thanks I needed that...
I watched that show... hoping for someone to kick his ass with the facts, but I'm just kidding myself. Thanks for the recap..
