Scarborough: W Gave Wink 'n Nod for Mean Miers Leak

Norah O'Donnell? Something about her looks vaguely familiar. Was she a Clinton intern? Used to wear a beret?

[caryatid]

I do not want to open up the festering wound of the Harriet Miers nomination, but I do believe that it was the beginning of Bush's downward spiral that nothing seems to cure. His arrogance in telling us we had to "trust him" over something so obviously flawed caused an awful lot of people I respect to [figuratively] wash their hands of Bush and declare his presidency "finished".

[Howlin]

BS.

And he didn't say Bush did, he said Bush

must have

[TruthFactor]

Joe used to be one of us, a regular guy. Now he travels in the DC/NY cocktail circuit circles with all the drive-by-media liberals. I used to like him. But, he has become a clymer. "Big Time"!

[Suzy Quzy]

Joe went over to the DARK side when they found that dead girl's body in his office. Or maybe it was when his best friend Condidit "got rid" of his girlfriend. I can barely watch him.

a former Clinton health official came on to predict millions might die from bird flu thanks to government inattention "in recent years."

Hey, I thought it was SARS that was supposed to kill millions. I can't keep straight what the PC disease of the week/month/year/decade is.

I didn't see the program, but will watch the rerun tonight. Joe Scarborough hasn't a clue as to what the President thinks. He went to Congress in 1994 and left in 2001 when George Bush came into office! Six years in Congress does not make him an expert. While in Congress, Scarborough, along with Joe Kennedy, Joe Moakley, and Tim Roemer, introduced legislation to rename the Justice Department building after Robert. F. Kennedy. Working with Democrats to honor a Democrat speaks volumes about his loyalty to Republicans.

I can't stand his program...he has a canned response to all his guests: "Very much appreciate your being here etc." It seems he could change and say, "Thank you for your participation", or "I appreciate your being here etc.", but it's the same thing each time..."very much appreciate".

With Republicans like Joe Scarborough, who needs enemies? If his ratings continue to drop, he'll be off television soon.

[therut]

I think his main problem is he is not very smart.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Joe Scarborough is an idiot who crossed over to the dark side long ago. And the Bow tie that appeared with him calls himself a conservative? A laughable fool is more apt for Tucker Carlson.

[beyond the sea]

Joe's a little nuts.

Joe had his own intern problem, didn't he?

LOL! And I thought I was bad!

Always read the small print! :D

[governsleastgovernsbest]

What is the difference between "must have" and "did"?

[Poincare]

Bush and Miers are a lot alike. They don't think in words--their verbal skills are excruciating to people (like David Frum) who do. Meirs and Bush think structurally and mathematically. She would have been a fabulous addition to the SCOTUS as a detail and structure person, IMO of course. Unfortuately she was a bad candidate and Bush did not see it.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with you.

[subterfuge]

"The article cited GOP sources to the effect that Bolten believes Miers "is indecisive, a weak manager and slow in moving vital paperwork through the system."

At the rate the government is spending, this might not be a bad thing.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

LOL. Just don't do something - stand there ;-)

[subterfuge]

Hey, I was suprised that "Hildy" didn't know you watch the Today Show for us.
