Kristol Predicts Scarborough Will Seek 2016 Nomination as 'Huntsman' Republican
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Was Bill Kristol kidding—just throwing a sop to the not-inconsiderable ego of his host—or could he have been serious? On today's Morning Joe, unveiling his line-up of the nine Republicans he sees running for president in 2016, Kristol included none other than Joe Scarborough himself.

But in an unkind cut to someone prospectively facing the famously conservative GOP primary electorate, Kristol described Scarborough as "filling the Huntsman lane" and representing a "Morning Joe conservatism." Ouch! As interesting as were Kristol's nine [which included Sarah Palin] were the names he left off his list, including Paul Ryan and Marco Rubio.

Ridiculous. There are a about ten years worth of moronic leftwing pronouncements on the public record by this guy. Even the RINO candidates will fillet him.

What’ll be his explanation for the dead intern?

The dead intern would be a resume enhancer if Joe ran as a democrat.

I'll be back with the transcript. For your entertainment and debate, here are Kristol's nine:

• Jeb Bush
• Scott Walker
• Mike Pence
• Ted Cruz
• Rand Paul
• Mike Huckabee
• John Bolton
• Sarah Palin
• Joe Scarborough

And here are names not on his list:

• Paul Ryan
• Marco Rubio
• Rick Perry
• John Kasich
• Bobby Jindal
• Rick Santorum

Half the people on his "run" list won't be running. And half the people on his "won't run" list will.

That was my first reaction. Of course he will face more questions than clinton did over his rape of Broaddrick, but that’s a function of the (ostensible) “R” after Scarborough’s name.

Not familiar with the dead intern story. But I have never considered Scarborough a Republican merely because he said he was...shoot the world has way too many RINOS as it is.

One RINO endorses another RINO.

Oh...I think Joe was VERY serious about this. Here's the book he wrote to pave the way for '16:

But no one bought it. Dead in water...just like he is as a candidate.
