Scarborough Takes Shot at Olbermann
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/03/2008 4:20:57 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann began to poignantly patch things up two nights ago. But there's clearly still mucho trabajo to be done to heal the rift between Joe Scarborough and the temperamental Countdown host. Readers will recall that during the Dem convention, Olbermann was caught [accidentally on purpose?] on an open mic suggesting Scarborough "get a shovel" for his failure to toe a sufficiently pro-Obama line.

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough took a thinly-veiled shot at Olbermann for the way he tried to keep Republican analyst Mike Murphy off the air, and then tried to pull the plug ["let's wrap him up, alright?"] when Murphy eventually made it into an interview with Chris Matthews.

Pat Buchanan was the sole voice on today's opening-hour panel to opine that Fred Thompson had done a good job with his speech last night. In contrast, Scarborough suggested Thompson had been flat. Pat expressed his feelings of alienation as the show was going to a break. It was then that Joe and Mika let Buchanan know that—in contrast with other MSNBC venues—dissident voices were welcome on Morning Joe.

A quick trip to a San Francrisco Bath House would provide lots of info, and save time. LOL

I think we should treat any Keith Olbermann thread just as we do any Maureen Dowd thread!

Rating only Keith can dream about!

It's true. On the Olbermann show, does he ever have anyone who disagrees with him? No. He never, ever does. It's all his butt buddies. O'Reilly is the nightly worst person of the world, but O'Reilly has people of all points of view on his program. Olbermann's a sissy. Just like Chrissy. Hey, maybe that's a tagline.

Scarbough should be arrested for impersonating a Conservative Republican.

He was gushing over Harold Ford Jr.’s mother this morning, and in the next breath saying what a dismal failure the Republicans has been for the last eight years.

You've got to have a stomach of steel to watch this garbage everyday.

Scarborough is constantly giving tips to democrats on how to go after Republicans.

As far as I can tell both Joe and Mika use makeup, lipstick, and tampons. The only difference is that Joe likes boys and Mika likes young girls!

Olberman is so full of hate. I believe he actually was rooting against our troops because he was dead wrong about the surge.

Anything he says should be countered with how wrong he was about the surge working. Pathetic excuse for a man.
