Sour-Grapes Scarborough 'Fine' with Acquittal: 'Will Just Make Republicans Look Worse'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/31/2020 6:53:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

If Aesop were still around, he might be tempted to replace the fox with Joe Scarborough in his fable of the sour grapes.

On today's Morning Joe, sour-grapes Scarborough claimed to be "fine" with President Trump's impending acquittal. Trying to console himself, Scarborough claimed that although Republicans will vote not to allow additional witnesses, the testimony that John Bolton would have given will nonetheless be "shouted from the mountaintops," and "will only make the Republicans look worse."

Thought we heard yesterday what Bolton had to say about the phone call, not exactly shouted from the mountain tops more like on most every news and info outlet in the world.

Don’t much care about how Republicans look to f***face. So long as we win.

Two can play, Joey.

Sort of like how the partisan impeachment makes the dims look worse?

Wait...

Yes Joe we look so bad in your face.
At least we don’t look ugly as that 16 year old boy you married. Bell.

Look worse? Only in the left wing echo chambers you and Mika hang out in Joe....

The crushing defeat you have set yourselves up for is going to be so enjoyable this November.

I may, for the first time in my life, actually plan to be at a victory rally that night..

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox’s mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust.

“What a fool I am,” he said. “Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for.”

Moreover it will show the democrats and Scarborough for what they are. A totally partisan impeachment by the democrats will be apparent to future generations, much like what they pulled in the south with their segregation and are now trying to escape.
