Calling them "Cheetos-eaters living in their mothers' basements," Joe Scarborough, angered by criticism by conservative bloggers of a segment on last week's Morning Joe, has told them to boycott the show.

Last week, Morning Joe ran a clip of the crowd chanting at a Romney campaign event. Morning Joe superimposed a screen graphic indicating that the crowd had been chanting "Ryan!" Romney was then seen instructing the crowd to instead chant "Romney-Ryan!" Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski proceeded to rip Romney for what was depicted as an egocentric display. In fact, there is considerable controversy as to what the crowd was chanting, with various people reporting from the scene that the crowd had in fact been chanting "Romney," so that Romney's action was gentlemanly, not egocentric. Listen and judge for yourself. On today's show, Scarborough ran a clip of the campaign event, but without the Morning Joe screen graphic that was at the heart of the controversy.

Not that I’ve made any difference, but me too.

It was known almost immediately that this was a farce, so has he managed to have a moment of embarrassment for falling for it?

Why no...he blames “bloggers” for exposing it. Typical leftist mindset.

It’s no surprise that he was a local lawyer before he ran for Congress.
He left here, never intending to ever come back...............Thank God.................

"Scarborough's just lifeless and clueless."

Agreed. Starbucks makes a pretty good blend named after him, though.
