In a softball interview with Sen. Debbie Stabenow on MSNBCs Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday asked the Michigan Democrat if it was difficult for her to grill a friend and colleague, the former New Jersey Senator Jon Corzine, on the MF Global scandal. At one point, Scarborough enthused, "Senator Corzine. I like him a lot. We like him."
Co-host Mika Brzezinski started out the interview by asking Stabenow on how they would be taking on the MF Global investigation. The Michigan senator essentially rattled off the hearing's witness list.
Scarborough then interrupted, not to press Stabenow about what she was doing to get to the bottom of the scandal but to ask a "personal question":
JOE SCAROBORUGH: Senator Corzine. I like him a lot. We like him. Every time he is around this table. He seems like a -- to us he seems like a really good guy. We hate seeing this happen to him. How hard is it for you to grill a former friend or a friend and a former colleague on an issue like this? It seems to me that you got to do your job but, personally, its got to be pretty uncomfortable for you.

Let’s stop pretending. Joe was a “Republican” until he got nailed with a dead intern in his congressional office and retired. He has not been a Republican, especially during any election, since. He’s a liar and a fake.

And congressman never talk out of school and never tell their associates anything sure, I believe that and they never ever, ever leak things to news papers. So wrong again space Cadette.

As I said, you know nothing. You only assume. Again, when you comment on something about which you actually know something, why don’t you get back to me.

Didn’t Corzine co-sponser a bill that would put other private citizens in jail for being in his same position?
