Has Morning Joe sunk to a new vulgarity low? On today's show, Joe Scarborough told a guest that being interviewed by himself rather than Mika Brzezinski represented "sloppy seconds."
Scarborough's crude comment was made in response to Walter Isaacson's complaint, after his previous appearance on the show, that Mika had not been present and he had to content himself with Joe. "Sloppy seconds, horrible," said Scarborough. H/t Mike S.

Scarborough hits new vulgarity low. Ping to Today show list.
The crude culture of MSNBC. They are juveniles.
And this is a big deal to you? All the commie traitors and liars on MSNBC and this is what offends you?
Who are these people ?
Of all the problems with Morning Joe and Scarborough, this ranks pretty low. It’s a pretty common saying.
Ignoring MSNBC is a good idea. Most people do, according to their ratings.
I could not care less about this network.
I have never watched this show.
Ever. Fox, Box Business, even CNN every once in a while until (every single time) they remind me why I watch Fox.
I just never, ever watch this. Ever.
Walter Isaacson is a POS.
Anyone who has ever used the term “money quote” needs to recuse himself.
Apparently lots of people have no idea what that quote means. I would bet that “Joe the Nerd” knows what it means. From plenty of experience.
Who cares?
I don’t know which one of these people is more obnoxious............ she is the worst but she has nice hair........ that is the only compliment that I can give either one of them.
There’s more outcry about this than Obama saying “piss off”?
I think you mean “money shot”, not “money quote”. One is dirty, the other isn’t.
The second is derivative of the first. They are both sloppy.
“The second is derivative of the first.”
That’s possible, I suppose, but unless you coined the phrase, how can you be certain?
Both terms had been used here and there earlier but their usage skyrocketed in the 1980s. I don’t have proof, but it seems logical that “money quote” is a back formation of the pornographic term. William Safire covered the subject (so to speak) in 2005.
Yeah, but that’s just etymological backtracking, so it’s an educated guess. Seems silly to label a phrase “dirty” when we can’t even say for certain that it ever had any dirty connotations.
