Yep. He and Laura Ingraham will now have standing invitations to appear on the Imus show. How lovely for them.
Creeps!

[cripplecreek]

Comrade Joe must be punished. LOL

[unsycophant]

the kind of Republicans welcome on the Today show are those willing to take swipes at the Bush administration. It's not just exclusive to NBC, nor limited to television.

Jeepers! Who peed in his Cheerios this morning?

This article sounds like a cable pundit getting really bad ratings in spite of his opinion of himself.

We tried to watch him, way back when he first started. His voice was enough for us not to watch again.

[Quilla]

Bless you for watching and reporting to us.

I heard from a very reliable souce (a better one than any of Rita Cosby's) that Vice President Cheney will be indicted because of the following statement:

I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog...When my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out...But the worst thing I ever done -- I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa -- and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.

He's been hanging out with his buddy, Chrissy Boy Matthews.

I used to watch his program but haven't for some time. Wise decision on my part.

[Eagle Eye]

Maybe it had something to do with being pressured to resign his office.


Oops! I mean he resigned for family reasons. Yep, that's the ticket, familty reasons.

[DoctorMichael]

I don't see the contradiction or lie.

I agree. In listening carefully to a replay of Cheney's interview on last nights HARDBOILED (that Krissey ran as proof of the Vice President's lying) I was struck by the truthfulness of his words.

At the worst, you could accuse him of knowingly parsing the words in a lawerly manner. Lying? No.

[Semper Paratus]

If Joe came from a liberal district he would have run as a liberal.

[NH Liberty]

I used to really like Scarborough, but he really has transformed into the type of turncoat that the Leftists in the newsmedia love -- a "Republican" who will gladly excoriate another "Republican" for the cost of a prime television segment.

It would appear that Joe has graduated from the McCain School of Socialist Patoot-Kissers in order to be spoken of highly (or to be called a "moderate") in the media.

You've whored your principles to the unprincipled, Joe. Shame on you.

In the dead intern case the cause of death was never released. It's an intriguing mystery.

I stop watching Joe during the Katrina Hurricane ... it was the last straw of him spewing the Libs talking points

And I stopped listening to Laura Ingraham during the same time period. They were absolutely pathetic.

[kittymyrib]

Joe's still a politician, telling them what they want to hear.

[unsycophant]

Mr. Cheney did not know Joe Wilson went to Africa for months, so it would be a little far-fetched to believe he knew about Plame sending him. Based on many reports and articles the evidence suggests Cheney found out about Wilson's trip when Wilson wrote the op-ed, and then discovered his connection to the very area in the CIA that sent him on the trip.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

"Joe's still a politician, telling them what they want to hear."

True - and in this case, the "they" are his NBC masters, as Joe desperately tries to cling to his failing MSNBC show.

[pepperhead]

If Joe came from a liberal district he would have run as a liberal.

I am beginning to think that is so. He played the conservative part so well back then. Maybe he should have been a actor.

[bankwalker]

His voice was enough for us not to watch again.

And he looks like Jughead.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I remember when Warren Rudman used to be paraded on the TV talk shows too, whining about how Reagan went "too far" in his policies.

Liberal Republicans are fawned over, but conservative Democrats are ostracized by the lib media.

[yoe]

Joe Wilson is a fraud - two years have been spent on this non-story, non-crime Key Stone Cop scenario. The smoke and mirrors have helped keep Hillary's problems with campaign finance out of the picture and worse, to cover up the 9/11 Commission's failure to include Able Danger’s reports in their findings, thereby covering once more, the Clinton Failures during the 1990s.

Un-gag the Able Danger people and let the country hear what they have to say.

If I see that pompous little Lord Fauntroy, General Wesley Clary on Fox once more spewing his erroneous dim witted views on all of these things, I will know Fox is anything but fair and balanced! Wilson and Clark are birds of a feather and Perky Katie coos over them – just sickening.
