Clancy said...: How very professional of Joe. I think those rumors of him being replaced after the election seem more likely now than ever. We're only one day in to the convention and he's already made an ass of himself three times.; August 26, 2008 9:20 AM
Ellen said...: what is he smoking....; August 26, 2008 9:27 AM
chris said...: Why didn't they cut to commercial?; August 26, 2008 9:28 AM
Clancy said...: He was most certainly drunk. I'm convinced of that now. We'll know for sure if he's given the "evening off" tonight.; August 26, 2008 9:36 AM
chris said...: Surely more than 3, Clancy; August 26, 2008 9:37 AM
JoeinGeneva said...: Scarborough is clearly still peeved that Keith called him out last night with the shovel comment.; August 26, 2008 9:46 AM
eve said...: omg -- what a disaster -- drunk explains a lot; August 26, 2008 9:51 AM
Adrienne said...: Geez, Morning Joke is an asshole. I have no remaining doubs about that at all. BTW not only is he a Conservative Republican, he's always been known as a right wing nut too.

Clancy, if he's NOT drunk, he has a real problem.

Also, what is Mika's purpose?; August 26, 2008 9:57 AM
Kitty said...: What a douche!; August 26, 2008 10:03 AM
Clancy said...: Reading in to this some, it seems evident that he's upset at being pushed in to doing the shitty morning show while Rachel was given the prime spot behind Keith. Given their history of sparring, it must really cut deep.

I can almost guarantee you that he asked for it and was told that it wasn't available (it was the boss' time slot, after all), then Rachel comes along and gets it after only a few months . . . evidently with Keith fully supporting it.; August 26, 2008 10:10 AM
JoeinGeneva said...: Mika's role is to be a bobblehead whenever Joe speaks.; August 26, 2008 10:11 AM
Anonymous said...: Are you all crazy? Shuster was clearly making no sense and launched into an unwarranted personal attack on Joe. Joe defended himself and Shuster chickened out because he had no leg to stand on. Give me a break.; August 26, 2008 10:16 AM
Georgette Orwell said...: Reminds me--yet again--why I refuse to own a television. What an unprofessional, childish screed by Scarborough.; August 26, 2008 10:17 AM
Georgette Orwell said...: Actually, it's Scarborough against Scarborough. And he's losing.; August 26, 2008 10:18 AM
Anonymous said...: How can anyone stomach these turds. The things Scarborough has said makes him look like a bullying ass. But he always been.

He's going to get the transcripts? Right. Loser.

Someone ask him why his aide ended up dead in his congressional office. When Olberman or Schuster asks that, I want to see that clip (and the transcript).; August 26, 2008 10:18 AM
Adrienne said...: Joe, that's what I thought. All she ever says is, "Oh no, Oh you guys."

They need a much better looking piece of eye candy if that's her purpose.; August 26, 2008 10:19 AM
eve said...: I may be very wrong, but I think if Mika was on her own she would be good. Or at least on a show without the juvenile joe. She is very intelligent and I think she can be very personable. She is wasted on that stupid morning joe show.; August 26, 2008 10:58 AM
75gs said...: Shuster was awesome... Watching it a second time, I think you all might be right about Joe being liquored up!; August 26, 2008 11:09 AM
sopranospinner said...: The closest he could get was "John McCain is wrong blah-blah-blah."

Scarborough is panicking, if not impaired there. Twisting himself up into a pretzel. So funny!; August 26, 2008 11:28 AM
Joy said...: Paddy,

I tried watching it but I just wanted to smack the crap out of Joe. It was too much for me this early in the morning. Good God, how do people watch his show day after day? His eyes do look a little bloodshot. He reminds you of the guy in the bar that wants to start a fight and won't stop despite his friends trying to get his drunk ass home.; August 26, 2008 12:20 PM
Jon said...: Scarborough's "Morning Joe" must be decaf.; August 26, 2008 12:35 PM
Anonymous said...: He sounds like one of those people that enjoys hearing themselves talk. He's done at MSNBC. He's not smart enough to be on there. He's a talking point, sound bite reading hack.; August 26, 2008 2:37 PM
Anonymous said...: I saw the whole thing this morning. Joe as usual was a bully and totally classless. He was mocking the Iraqi's about getting killed and when Shuster called him on it he starts to feign indignation like he always does and turns into the ahole we all know he is.; August 26, 2008 9:25 PM
Anonymous said...: Joe needs to GO!!!!! He is beyond embarrassing.; August 26, 2008 10:05 PM
Anonymous said...: Joe needs to be tested for drugs and alcohol before starting the show. They need him to pee in a cup every morning before he goes on that show. This is ridiculous.; August 28, 2008 12:54 AM
