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.

The word “brown-nosing” applies here, I think.

..."take your kid to an emergency room anywhere in America at 11 o'clock at night, and then tell me there aren't two Americas."

I've been to the ER at that time of night and always there was always medical staff on hand to assist me - granted the medical attention wasn't free, I didn't expect it to be, but there was no two Americas, the ER staff treated me quickly and professionally.

you've actually opened your heart even more

There isn't enough ginger root on the planet to settle my stomach after a sentence like that.

That's because the other half isn't America. It's Mexico!

I always say tell them: take your kid to an emergency room anywhere in America at 11 o'clock at night, and then tell me there aren't two Americas.

That's actually a great line, whether you agree with the sentiment or not. Chris Matthews comes from that sort of background and comes up with great lines, too. It would work great in a speech or a debate. You could even come up with more "examples" and stretch it out.

I don't understand this: I've taken my son to the ER at 10:00 PM and gotten excellent care. I've taken my wife at midnight, and gotten excellent care. It wasn't as quick as I would have liked, but then they weren't life-threatening situations either.

Did I just miss the 11 o'clock shift change, or is this clown just making stuff up to whine about?

That's actually a great line,

It's truly sad when disparaging remarks about your whole country are taken as a "great line".
