Should be interesting next time Joe Scarborough runs into the likes of Ed Schultz . . .
The Morning Joe host today slammed the hypocrisy of cable news hosts, specifically including some at MSNBC, for taking "unbridled glee" in Mark Sanford's disgrace.
Scarborough didn't name names, but he almost surely had Schultz, among others, in mind. As I reported here, on his show last evening Schultz absolutely reveled in Sanford's distress, boasting "I have no mercy here" and using the most mocking of tones to describe the circumstances. Was Joe also alluding to Keith Olbermann, who had considerable fun at Sanford's expense last night?

I guess Scarborough is on his own apology tour after his debacle of a book.

I wonder if anyone has footage of their ‘unbridled glee’
at spitzer’s dalliances with whores (you know, the stuff he put people in jail for?)

Scarborough is an old school liberal. He is not completely rabid with an agenda. Olbie,Maddow,Matthews all need to put down the kool aide and take note.

It seems to me this is a problem for the people of South Carolina to sort out, and not much more than that.

Joe will always have the dead intern questions hanging over his reputation.

Interesting this all happened and Gisela beat Maria Sharapova in a huge upset at Wimbledon yesterday.
From the The FR '09 Grand Slam Tennis Tour: Wimbledon, June 22 - July 5 thread:
Gisela Dulko - Buenos Aires, Argentina
Any photos of Sanford's rondevu women on the net? Really stupid move by Mark. I feel sorry for his family. Actually, I feel more sorry for the GOP he disgraced.

Joe and several other high profile Republican Congressmen got out of DC soon after the death of Chandra Levy. I have always wondered if they had “intern” stories of their own. Apparently DC is full of starry-eyed girls and eager politicians.

The Liberal Media are one of the few groups enjoying freedom and wealth in America today. They have unbridled power to trash our history, culture and norms. They pervert everything we have stood for and few of the new burdens impact them.
Think about it... the new health care nightmare is a % of wages. Most rich live on rents, royalties, dividends and interest. NONE of which will be taxed under the proposed plan. Its just the working serfs who will pay and the Media just keeps on singing...
The poet Allen Ginsberg (Google him and puke) was fond of quoting Lenin: "Control the media, control the culture." We are serfs to these swine. The media is destroying America!

Ed Schultz: Schultz was married to his WDAY news co-anchor and producer Maureen Zimmerman during much of his on-air time with the station. The two divorced in 1993.Those whom live in glass houses....
