Here’s a rarity: an MS-NBC anchor criticizing Barack Obama. Joe Scarborough can’t believe his ears when he discovers that the Obama campaign went miles out of their way in clipping three words from a sentence spoken by John McCain to attack him on Iraq. Scarborough appears to have a Road to Damascus moment this morning about the Obamessiah:

It’s hard to keep from laughing when Scarborough vents his spleen at finding out that Obama is actually a politician. What did he think Obama was? Oh, wait, of course — he thought Obama was the Golden Child, about to lead us to a thousand years of enlightenment.

For this display of ridiculous disillusionment, for his shock, shock! that Barack Obama is nothing more than a politician, Joe Scarborough wins the coveted Captain Louis Renault award. Too bad the rest of his network has yet to qualify.
