Scarborough's Sop to Hillary: 'You've Opened Your Heart Even More'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/18/2007 5:51:21 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Even as the words were leaving his mouth, Joe Scarborough acknowledged that he was going to get "killed by conservative bloggers." And being the obliging sorts we are here at NewsBusters . . .

Joe's interview of Hillary Clinton on today's "Morning Joe" was one long paean to her greatness coupled with a mea culpa for the wrongs that he and other Republicans visited on her during the '90s.

View video here.

Excerpts:

In return for his adulation, Hillary graced Joe with numerous patronizing head pats of the "great question" and "oh, Joe, I think that's incredibly true" variety.

Clinton even had the audacity to claim that the hardships she's suffered have "made me a little less quick to jump to conclusions, perhaps a little more open to making sure that all sides are heard," and later that "it's kind of hard to be pointing fingers. Instead we should be rolling up our sleeves and getting to work together."

This from the woman who just last week, with her "willing suspension of disbelief" line, effectively called the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq a liar to his face. Joe naturally didn't jeopardize the good vibes by raising that.

Not a word about the illegal population’s effect on the health-care system was uttered which makes Joe either the most incompetent interviewer in the world or the most duplicitous.

My money is on both.

Joe offers up his own version of a Lewinsky.

wow! Seems no one knows who she died???? Very interesting. Why did joey and his spokesman need to appear on tv with a story of her past medical problems, if she had any, which her family says she didn’t.

For the story of the dead woman found in Scarborough’s congressional office of a head wound go to OLDAmericanCentury.org or do a Google search on Lori Klaustis.

Why would Scarborough need to go to an emergency room? He can go to a proctologist and get a complete physical examination.

"And boy, am I going to get killed by conservative bloggers for saying that."

Joe performs a "Lewinsky" on Hillary and then feels a slight twinge of embarrassment that someone might notice.

I knew there was a good reason I can't stand spineless Joe -- what a weasel, he's the kind of "token Republican" that the MSM loves, always useful for slandering other Republicans while completely grovelling with libs. My my Joe, when you come up for air you might think about asking Hillary just one or two tough questions. No fun? OK, just go back to what you were doing and call it "journalism".....
