Scarborough: Off Record, 'All' Republican Leaders, Talk Radio Hosts, Agree With My Palin Criticism

Joe Scarborough leveling harsh criticism at Sarah Palin: not news.

Joe Scarborough claiming that—off the record—"all" conservative leaders and talk radio hosts with whom he's spoken agree with his criticism: news.

Scarborough made his astonishing claim on today's Morning Joe in the context of commenting on his latest anti-Palin piece in today's Politico. This is far from the first time that Joe has taken shots at Palin. As I've reported, he has blamed the former Alaska governor for the GOP's failure to win the Senate, and claimed that Palin knows she can't win the presidency but is in it for the money.

Today's Politico piece takes Scarborough’s swipes a quantum leap further [see examples after jump]. But what makes this morning’s diatribe truly remarkable is Joe's repeated claim that "all" Republican leaders and conservative talk radio hosts with whom he's spoken have—off the record—agreed with his criticism of Palin.

Scarborough claims that, off the record, all Republican leaders and talk radio hosts with whom he’s spoken agree with his criticism of Palin. Do-you-believe it ping to Today show list.

I just watched that. It was truly disgusting, especially Mika’s condescension. Since they kept mocking the fact that Palin only served half a term as Governor, why couldn’t Shadegg respond with the fact that the current president only served half a term as Senator??? Please, many, many people believe Palin is more intellectually qualified than Obama, and not one person alluded to that. What in the heck happened to Pat Buchanan—has he been so co-opted he can’t stick up for conservatives now and then?

If she can’t win the Presidency, then why is he so “wee weeed” up about it? Sarah has got them all jittery. He knows she is a force to be reckoned with. She is going to call them all out and they don’t like it. They would rather play the game as ususal. Too bad.

This has-been sell-out CINO's opinions regarding conservatives and politics aren't worth a dime. That's why he's on the network of Maddow and Schultz and Olberman.

I hope that Wikileaks gets hold of internal documents from the media. I would love to see that world of lies and double-dealing exposed. I can think of only a few “conservatives” in the media who are actual conservatives. I think many “conservatives” in the media probably vote Democrat.

Clearly Scarborough has some kind of irrational personal animus against Sarah Palin. While her endorsement of O’Donnell was clearly ill-advised, Palin did not lose us the Senate.

She's ‘in it’ ??? She is not 'in' anything right now, nor is anyone else except Obama.

Not taking the Senate by 1-2 seats is a blessing to Republicans. Obama is in a weaker political position for it.

It’s pretty clear that Wikileaks exists to funnel information to the media that the government of China wants to see leaked. Julian Assange is not being paid to expose the media.

Yeah, West Point, combat vet, Yale Law.... totally unqualified, whereas his opponent thinks she's qualified by heredity. Sitting next to Mika has lowered whatever intelligence JS had.

I would love to see Rush, Mark & Sean (obviously Ann & Laura too if they so wish) do a number on this Bozo to (and until) the point he's doing a public apology for his exaggerations...
