Scarborough Country 11/17/03: Transcript on Rush's Return (w/ Jesse & Dershowitz)- LONG, MUST read

Scarborough Country ^ | 11-17-03 | Joe Scarborough

[cgk]

Transcript covers the entire hour of the show. Quite a heated exchange going on, lots of insults flying, and constant attacks on each other. Scarborough had to cut the mic's several times. Fun stuff.

Scarborough ping!

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Jesse Jackson is the most broken-record-sounding kook I've ever heard.

[concerned about politics]

I tried to call the station but couldn't get through.
Jessie, the adulterer who begged the nation for forgiveness of his sins.
The SAME Jessie who asked the nation to forgive Clintons adultrey, purgery, and obstruction of justice.
The SAME jessie who never said a word about all the other entertainers in Hollywood who've gone to rehab for illegal drug use.

I was really trying to get through on the phone. I wanted to ask Jessie if all entertainers in Hollywood who go to rehab for illegal drug use should suffer the same fate as he thinks Rush should. I wanted him to condem his own side for doing the same damn thing!

To even give Jesse Jackson air time on a legal or moral issue, is beyond the pale. This faux adulterous blackmailing preacher, has no business commenting on this issue, let alone any issue.!!

When he was asked another question about another issue, he still went back to "racist Limbaugh committing a crimminal act and must be punished." He was obsessed with it. No matter what question was asked of him, he'd talk about "Racist crimminal" Rush. He was seething with hate - this "(Liberal only) forgiving man of God." LOL.

Thanks for posting this and for the ping. "Scarborough Country" is fast-becoming one of my favorite political shows. Joe really knows how to pack a lot of substance in a one-hour show - something I wish I could say for some of the primetime Fox News shows these days...

[nutmeg]

FoxFan ping!

OK, this thread actually has nothing to do with Fox News... I just thought some of you might be interested in what's happening on "Scarborough Country". Former FL Congressman (R) Joe Scarborough hosts this show M-F, 10-11pm on MSNBC (opposite Greta on FNC).

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.

ping!

[T Lady]

Ditto and Bump to that!!!!

...And if you REALLY want to get the goods on Je$$e, get your hands on "Scam", or "Shakedown" (the former I just read; the latter I'll get around to). These are definitely books Rev. Jackson will NOT want anyone to read!

-Regards, T.

Do you have an on-air link for his show - I'd like to 'tune in' some time!

Did anybody see Scarborough's show Friday night? He had on the former AG Ed Meese and David Horowitz. I cannot remember the topic. They also had on a guy named Schultz (I am not sure of the name or spelling). He is suppose to be the great white hope for the Dems in talk radio. This guy was the rudest and most obnoxious person I have ever seen. He kept interrupting the conservatives. Meese had to constently tell him to shut up so the others could talk. I just about came unglued it was so bad. If this guy is the great liberal hope, then we have nothing to worry about. I was disappointed Scarborough was not tougher on him.

[cgk]

I've never been able to find an on-air link for MSNBC (or FNC, for that matter.) The most I can come up with are links to MSNBC news highlights and transcripts from previous shows...

Sorry!

[cgk]

I missed the Friday show (guests: Guests: Zell Miller, Norman Schwarzkopf, Lindsey Graham, James Woolsey, David Horowitz, Edwin Meese, Ed Schultz, Bernard Goldberg, Roy Moore ), but the transcript's a good read so far. The topic seems to be on Rush again with that Schultz moron, and the double standard with conservatives in the media.

Here's a link to the transcript from that show... Here

[cgk]

I enjoy the show because he has fun with some of this political nonsense, and because he also has been running a "The Good News from Iraq" thing on most of his shows to balance all the "bad" news the media is embracing.

Not to mention, I've admired him since Election 2000, and I'm terribly tired of the Kobe/Laci circus FNC has become. Even O'Reilly covers the cases, though in his own words he "could care less."

You think they'd read their email once in awhile. From reading FR's comments, a good number of us have written to FNC to complain about their incessant barrage of everything Laci/Kobe, to no avail.

[OldFriend]

Have seen Schultz a few times. What a crab-ass!

Have also heard Scarborough opining that Rush should not be coming back so soon. They he, Scarborough, thinks Rush ought to take time off before returning....

The tone of Scarborough's comments annoyed me no end.

[cgk]

One of the best lines of the night:

JACKSON: Rush did not go to rehab because of his view of black quarterbacks.

---------------

BTW - this is a TYPO made by the transcript, not me:

(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP, “THE RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW)

SCHWARZENEGGER: So, I see that Ted Kennedy called a bunch of highly respected minorities Neanderthals. The fact that Ted Kennedy is still in the Senate and hasn’t been forced to resign means that nothing’s changed. It’s just a good thing Senator Kennedy didn’t say it on ESPN, or he might have resigned.

(END AUDIO CLIP)

--------------------

RUSH said that his first morning back on the air, NOT Schwarzanegger.

[Bilbo Baggins]

primetime Fox News shows these days...

You mean the Scott/Laci/Kobe primetime from 9-11pm?

At least O'Reilly tries to stay away from it, thankfully.
