Comments on: Video: Scarborough sneers at basement-dwelling bloggers over Polegate

[...] One of the things that makes a good sidekick a good sidekick is his ability to bail out the host when he’s in a tough spot. Scarborough’s sidekick must be good, because every time I see him I’m less focused on Joe and more annoyed on his own “who do these bloggers think they are?” shtick. The Palmetto Scoop helpfully lists all the sites that have commented on the incident and, pace MSNBC, they’re not all conservative and they number quite a bit more than “a few.” [...]

Common Fred’s wife is HOT and 25 years younger. YEA! Now we are talking Family values Baby! Please get the stick out of you know where. So when Fred was 40 she was a freshman in high school, eweeeeee. AND HE IS THE GREAT GOP HOPE? ha ha ha ha ha. He’s divorced too-boot with 4 kids, 3 from wife #1 and 1 form wife #2. I guarantee the ex-wife and ex-kids hate the young wife who will get all his money! ha ha ha ha. He is all American.

Joe is pretty fair, and to be fair you have to present the liberal side as well.

You lock steppers can’t stand balance or even hearing other views. That is your problem. If you are not quoting Rush “pill popper” or GOP talking points and rhetoric, every time all the time, you call it liberal bias.

?…Maybe you “misinterpretated” my comment or meant it for Nonfactor at 5:47?. My comment was meant as sarcasm. Joe Blow wouldn’t even say the word “pole” as he tried to weasel out of that classless, tasteless “botched joke” as if repeating it would get him fired like Imus.

As for my dearly departed mother, her answer would be “Yes, of course, you know every November I WORK THE POLLS for the Republicans.”

By the rules, it’s live television, but realistically what’s the diff between MSNBC in the Morning and a private conversation?

It doesn’t matter because fred? and Jeri will be irrelevant by this time next year if he don’t wise up. Just as Scarborough is today.

This is really getting out of hand. Who cares what Scarborough says in about Fred!’s wife in a private conversation.

The big nooz shocker out of this is that Joe Scarborough has a radio show.

Who knew?

Yes, Joe, context did reduce, by a small margin, the insult which your tasteless question was begging. No, it doesn't help to blame others for using your words against you. Cherry-picking words? Only a non-journalist would ever do such a thing.

Scarborough has been unwatchable for a number of years now. Essentially, he was a Bush-hating conservative before Bush-hating became cool amongst conservatives. He’s a man before his time, it would appear.

Joe who?

Honestly, does anyone besides Scarbrough’s immediate family watch his show? If it weren’t for clips on this site and others, I couldn’t tell you if MSNBC was even on basic cable anymore.

Off Topic: Skin cells can be turned into embryonic stem cells without the embryo (in mice, but no reason to think it won't work in humans too). No need for cloning, no need for destruction of human life, no need for govt. money spent on that method. Let's see how widely this gets reported.

I heard/read the entire clip on Newsbusters that began with Joe Scarblower talking to the tri-athlete who pole dances. His “Taken out of context” excuse still doesn’t cut it. Out of the blue he begs the question of Fred’s wife. No class whatsoever.

I wonder what was the “I’m gonna tell you a Fred Thompson joke in a second” he mentions? That clip doesn’t have it.
