Hullabaloo — Try decaf by Dover Bitch You can always tell an election is nearing. The ads start airing during your shows. The bumper stickers become more visible during your commute. And Joe Scarborough begins his gradual, but inevitable transition from thinly-veiled, independent "journalist" to complete water-carrying GOP hack. It's really the same script every election cycle and it usually blooms like a flower with an episode like today's Morning Joe: The only time he shut up during the entire segment (other than during the beginning of Mika Brzezinski's newscast, which he ...

When The F*cking MSNBC Soap Opera Unfortunately Becomes More Interesting And Lively Than The DNC Convention
Pat Dollard | Young Americans — When I was a kid, adults (um, people of authority) usually could tell who was the bad/rotten apple and instigator in the group of classmates or siblings by WHICH seemed to have a problem getting along with the others in said groups of peers … And THEY were the ones who, at that time in acceptable social behavior solutions history, were ‘dealt with’ in a timely and succinct manner … Now, IF MSNBC/NBC cannot seem to tell who is the ‘problem child(ren)’ and isn’t playing nice with others … well, they really are lost forever.

This morning I'm going to spend some time watching "Morning Joe" to see how The Scar manages to spin last night as good for John McCain. Perhaps our first indication came at 6:03, when the news crawl under the clip from Obama's speech was about Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. 6:09 - Scar refers ...
Joe Scarborough, Condescending Twit — Crooks and Liars
  If you thought Joe Scarborough sending his court jester Willie Geist to ask Big Tent bloggers if they eat Cheetos and blog from their mother’s basement was a d*ck move, watch how he treats David Shuster in this clip from “Morning Joe.” Has there ever been anyone more petty and condescending as he is here? I have to give props to Shuster; I would have gotten up and ...

Scarborough Says NRA F-Rated Biden Will Reassure Gun Owners — NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias
Joe Scarborough and the rest of the Morning Joe crew actually had my sympathy this morning. Amidst all the infighting at MSNBC, including demands for Joe's head in Olbermann-friendly circles, one could sense that the panel was on its best behavior. During the opening hour, a subdued David Shuster—who had openly fought with Joe just two days ago—was there, but just barely. Scarborough ...

What Is This, Pick On Joe Week? — Hoffmania!
Wow. Scarborough is starting to look like the Alan Colmes of MSNBC. The big diff: Joe's able to dish it back to his critics - something Colmes is prohibited from doing to Hannity - and that makes for pretty irresistable TV. Last night, it was Joe and KO . This morning, Joe and David Schuster went at it. It starts around 2:30 in and gets really personal 5:30 in.

It's no secret who that "certain person" is, and why he's holding a grudge: Grow ...
