Does that go for television personalities and dumb Hollywood actors and actresses? Joe Scarborough, Wolfe Blitzer, and even some Fox News folks can't ask a question without trying to phrase it so the answer will be critical of the administration or Bush. Last night, I heard Scarborough interviewing the editor of a South Mississippi paper, and he kept trying to get the man to say something critical, and the man kept telling him 'now wasn't the time to play the blame game'. When Scarborough was wrapping up the interview and reiterating what the man had said, he added something the man had not even said! Now if Mary Landrieu wants to 'punch' someone who deserves having their lights punched out, she ought to punch Joe Scarborough and Wolfe Blitzer. It's not a crime to punch them, but it is if she touches our President!
Maybe this will answer your question. Scarborough used to be my congressman and I was proud of that. Here's what I wrote to the Pensacola News Journal:
In the days immediately following Hurricane Katrina, President Bush’s political opponents rushed to denounce his efforts to provide emergency relief to the area.
Forget that President Bush declared Louisiana a disaster area before the governor did, people like Robert Kennedy, Jr., Al Sharpton, and Hillary Clinton blamed the President for everything from causing the hurricane to delaying relief because of New Orleans black skinned residents.
Crisis reveals character and interestingly Joe Scarborough took this opportunity to align himself with those of the extreme Left.
Joe’s ravaging comments did nothing to help the logistics in any way. All he did was add fuel to the fire of those that dedicate their lives to defeating every aspect of the Bush Administration.
It is understandable that the mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana would rail on the President; first they must cover their enormous failings; second, they are Democrats.
Qatar and Kuwait offer hundreds of millions of dollars in aid yet Joe took the opportunity to dance on the graves of Katrina’s victims in order to blast the President.
I don’t know why he did that, but he permanently lost my vote for any office for which he may run.
