Joe Scarborough Justifies Decision Not to Talk about Gore Sex Allegation on MSNBC; Calls It Unfair
Newsbusters ^ | June 24, 2010 | Jeff Poor

It's already been documented that the media have, at least initially, ignored the allegation that global warming alarmist-in-chief and former Vice President Al Gore faced a sexual assault charge in 2006. But why?

Although not know for its enlightening commentary, ABC's June 24 broadcast of "The View" offered an answer for that question. Subbing a moderator for the show's panel was MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough, who explained their decision to ignore it was based on "insufficient evidence" despite the police report documenting the allegation.

"This is an interesting story," Scarborough said. "A 2006 police report surfaced of a masseuse claiming former Vice President Al Gore repeatedly attempted, quote, ‘unwanted sexual contact with her during a hotel room massage which lasted for three hours.' Detectives found insufficient evidence to support the allegations, which leads to my question first, Joy. Should we be talking about it at all? This was in The Oregonian. We decided this morning not to talk about it on ‘Morning Joe' because there was insufficient evidence. The Oregonian picked it up, then the National Enquirer. Everybody's going to be talking about it. Should we?"

Well, I wouldn't say Joy Behar is on the "right team."

What I find interesting about this case is the way she filed the complaint, but now refuses to cooperate. Ya think maybe someone got to her...?

Would they be talking about it if this was Dick Cheney? Oh, yeah.

What a pant load. If Gore was a Republican there would be tv cameras right now outside this ladies house in Oregon 24/7. The press would be foaming at the mouth trying to get some damning quote from her.

One of the links on Drudge talks about `Gore : Crazed Sex Poodle`.
This is an insult to my Standard Poodle Stud, Rufus, who has sired puppies.

I wonder what he would say if Sarah Palin was accused of an affair.

Or Todd Palin was accused of sexual assault...

They protect him because they have to.

Besides, Wasn’t Joe accused of something very similar in 2007?

Maybe she remembers what Clinton’s women went through. Would you want to subject yourself to that? I wouldn’t.

What? Joe's a crazed sex poodle, too? Is that why he sits so close to Mika?

Yeah, and it’s ok to talk about Chris Wallace giving a secret signal to the rest of the media by his blinking after a Palin interview.

Too bad. Now both of his listeners aren't going to be aware of this.

Joe’s been on the wrong team for quite a while. His first year on the tube, he was awesome. Then, one day, he went hard core left wing. Some thing he was threatened, that his past would be exposed, and he’d be ruined, or worse. If I remember correctly, had to do with a missing/dead intern during his congressional days? If someone could expand or refute upon that, please do so.

Gore’s a Democrat, and anybody who admit to the double standard is ethically and/or mentally impaired.

I wondered if she only came out because maybe she was threatened and/or feared that if she didn’t someone might make her disappear. Now that she’s out, she’s safer. But that’s just my conspiracy theory.

At best, this shows poor judgement by the “hot one.” No man, especially a famous one, should invite a masseuse or any other female to his hotel room for a massage or for any other reason without another person present.

I read yesterday that the statute of limitations on the crime runs out in October. 4 years afterwards.
