Joe Scarborough Tries To Backtrack On Olbermann Criticism

By Paddy



Oh sure Joe, we believe you. Except the fine people at Media Bistro pretty much put the kibosh on your lame excuses. But eh, if Keith isn't angry, who are we to kvetch? Original video below, response above.

Was Scarborough Actually Aiming at Anderson?

cooper_7-24.JPGWhen MSNBC's Joe Scarborough talked about how "a couple of hosts" ran with the story of Sen. John McCain's "gaffe" Tuesday night, many people thought he was talking about Keith Olbermann. Scarborough told TVNewser yesterday, "That is simply not true." And today, on Morning Joe, he pointed to an anchor on "another network," as his target.

It seems to indicate CNN's Anderson Cooper: the only anchor, other than Olbermann, to talk about the story Tuesday night. This morning, Scarborough said, "People thought I was talking about Keith Olbermann. He doesn't work for another network. I was talking about someone on another network."

Said co-host Mika Brzezinski, "I know because we were talking off camera, I know that too."
