Mika, did I ever tell you I was a Former Republican Congressman?

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough had some tough words this morning for Michele Bachmann, the state of Iowa, and anyone who believes that the congresswoman has a fighting chance at “winning anything.”
While discussing his take on last night’s GOP debate, the “Morning Joe” host spouted off, unleashing several attacks on the GOP Rep. and calling her a “joke” several times and in many different ways and also targeting Iowans who are thinking of voting for her. NewsBusters has the transcript:
Michele Bachmann’s first answer, Mark Halperin, was “I wish the federal government had defaulted.” Had defaulted, a week after Americans had lost–some of them perhaps lost half of their pensions. Lost half of their 401(k)s, when trillions of dollars went down the drain [pounds the table] with Americans suffering, she said that and got applause, and if anybody thinks that guys like my dad are going to be voting that way when this rolls out of Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina, in the early stages, and really gets going, they are out of their mind and they are too stupid not only to prognosticate, they are too stupid to run Slurpee machines in Des Moines. I’ll let you go now. I got it off my chest.Michele Bachmann is a joke. She is a joke. And now I will pass it on to you. Her answer is a joke, her candidacy is a joke, and anybody that sits here and says she has any chance of winning anything is out of their mind. Take your straw poll, take your caucus, but Iowa, if you let her win, you prove your irrelevance once again.
Scarborough’s comments are stark contrast to his reaction to Bachmann after the first GOP debate. Back then he defended her from attackers and said she looked “in command:”
WayneS on Joe Scarborough: “He is a Joke...His Career is a Joke”
joe’s a joke.
Proving once again that the establishment HATES Conservatives and will slander them at every turn. They hate the light and cry out to be left in the darkness to play with their own vomit.
I just love how these very attractive and highly qualified women (Palin, Bachmann) are scaring the hell out these gross fools! I hope we can stick our thumbs in the libtards’ eyes with either (or both) of these great women on or ticket next year.
Earth to Joe!......Joes the joke!
Is Scarborough flat-lining on MSNBC and looking for a job at Newsweak?
If you’re not taking Flak. You’re not over the target!
The left is scared s*itless of Michelle. Or any conservative woman, actually.
I wonder why that is?/sarc
Jack.
Joe has little microphone syndrome
I agree...nobody is listening to him so he gets stupid.
To me Palin is “highly qualified”, Bachmann is not.
Bachmann is mostly a good speaker and we see where that got us. She doesn’t hold a candle to Sarah’s accomplishments in governing or policy statements.

Bachmann is mostly a good speaker and we see where that got us. She doesn’t hold a candle to Sarah’s accomplishments in governing or policy statements. I just see Bachmann as riding the wave of huge discontent without really understanding the ramifications of what she’s saying. And frequently what she says doesn’t have a ton of substance.
That’s just my opinion.
Unlike Scarborough, MB never had a dead intern in her office.
Joe is a pretender. He is pretending to be either a news jockey or a news analyst; but he is neither.
His occasional illusion of criticism of liberalism is only window dressing.
As an employee of MSNBC, he has one job and one only at this time: “destroy Sarah Palin”.
Now the fact is that at this time, from the point of view of MSNBC, at least, Michelle Bachmann stands somewhat in proxy for Sarah Palin. Sarah is not there to beat up on, so Michelle will do — and the viewers will “get the idea”.
So with most other potential opponents of their boy, the obamarrhoids at MSNBC will merely give a toss of the head and say, “Interesting, but not on the same top shelf as a REAL president...”; but with Sarah Palin, or in this case, Bachmann (in her stead), the tone is always qualitatively and quantitatively, viciously and destructively — different.
Hence Joe’s completely uncalled-for outburst on Morning Joe.
It should be called “Morning Joke”. It’s really an obamarrhoid infomercial.
“She’s a joke”, says Joe to Mika Brezinski. Ironic.
Granted Bachmann was not stellar last night but this RINO punk’s comments were over the top.
In a way I feel sorry for Joe. It has to be depressing to get up every morning and know you’ve been reduced to sitting next to an airhead skank who you have to pretend is rational, just to earn a living.
When he thinks about it he has to consider eating his gun rather than go through that one more time. Really, who could stand to do that 5 days a week 3 hours a day?
I am always amused by these supposed candidates for President who never accomplished anything major in life. She is a good lady. Good strong advocate for conservative values and policies. She is not someone who has shown an ability to successfully pull of solutions. Reminds me of Obama. Who was a loud mouth in the Senate and never got anything done. Now, you see how badly he is failing.
Your broadcast presence on anything but trailer-park reality TV---
....that's a joke too....
Like MSNBC--- the not-funniest joke I have ever seen....
Great sight gag....
I must admit...
