Scarborough: Newt 'Not Fit To Be President Of The United States'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/01/2011 5:42:15 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If Newt Gingrich is the Republican presidential candidate, will Joe Scarborough abstain on election day? The question arises because on Morning Joe today, Scarborough flatly declared that Gingrich "is not fit to be the President of the United States."

It was Newt's acceptance of $1 million-plus in fees from Freddie Mac, while subsequently suggesting that "politicians who profited" from the environment surrounding Fannie and Freddie should go to jail, that set Scarborough off.

Newt’s acceptance of Freddie Mac fees while suggesting politicians who profited from Fannie-Freddie should go to jail leads Scarborough to say Newt “not fit to be President of the United States.” Ping to Today show list.

FUJS! Is this the new media meme: not fit to be president? Whoopie Goldberg said the same thing about Michelle Bachman this week.

And while Newt certainly has a lot of baggage, no one ever found a dead assistant in his office.

And what's with Mika B - is she trying to look like a boy?

Joe Scarborough is not fit to be a serious analyst. Then again, no one takes him seriously. He is tool of the left and totally irrelevant to the right.

And he has had “Newt envy” for years.

So whether or not Newt is fit, Scarborough’s opinion does not matter and by the way Joe — what about the current occupant!!!!???? Is he fit?

Who doesn’t know yet that the talking-head-harrumph’ers on msnbc have a staff meeting prior to moourning joe where they agree which Republican candidate to eviscerate on any given day?
These bits of human sewage are beneath contempt. In fact, sewage should be offended that I threw them in alongside.
How obvious is it? They have taken it upon themselves to run interference for their still-unvetted, communist boy-king?
I watch for a few moments every day just to get a whiff of their drift; but it’s painful theater, kind of like watching Sartre’s “Nausea” or “No Exit”. But thank God, there is an exit, it’s called “The Remote”, and I leave with most of my sanity intact.
They are beneath contempt.
Newt is under their skin, though; and he will trounce their obominator. I cannot wait for him to undress the already naked emperor.

Hey Joe, any updates on the dead woman found murdered in your Florida office? Just wondering.

Hey Mika, any updates on how your father along with Carter almost brought us to the brink of war with the Soviet Union through his cowardly and weak-kneed Socialist musing? Just wondering.

So until YOU answer these questions, STFU!

Unfit, no. I do think nominating Newt would be the triumph of hope over experience.

Well, except he’s thinner than Schultz and less masculine than Rhodes.

What qualifies this pseudo-intellectual token “not-liberal whacko” working for a Liberal, partisan hack democrat pr mongering “news” network to be the arbiter of fitness for electability or service any office???

FUJS.

Neither was Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, peanuts, bubba, zero, and possibly Bush. They are all the result of our voting for the lesser of one or more other evils.
We're being herded like sheep and I'm done with it. I'll only vote for someone who meets my minimum standards.

“And somehow 0bama IS?”

A lot of baggage?
Hell, Newt looks like the unsinkable MAGGIE Brown heading for Europe with enough trunks and bags to take care of the Obamas for a year.

You’ll have to forgive Joe. He is subject to ideological rape every day by his liberal overlords. His mind is not right.
