Mika Tries To Shut Down 'Roided-Out' Scarborough's Rant on GOP 'Losers'

After being out all week with a sinus infection, Joe Scarborough was back with a roided-out vengeance on today's Morning Joe.

His word of the day was "loser," which he used ad nauseam to rip Donald Trump and Republicans in general over their midterm losses, and what he sees as the GOP's complacent attitude toward losing.

At the end of the half-hour, Scarborough's rant became so unhinged that poor Mika repeatedly tried to shut him down. She explained to the viewers that Joe had been given a steroid for his infection.

Scarborough embraced the notion, calling himself "roided-out" and suggesting that Republicans might want to get "roided-out," too, so they would awake from their complacency about losing.

Willie Geist chimed in to reveal that Mika had been whispering to him about Scarborough's [psych] "diagnosis." As you'll see from the screencap, poor Mika couldn't face it anymore, while Willie scratched his head in wonderment at Joe's meltdown.

What’s it like for Mika to be married to this raging egomaniac?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

[I-ambush]

She probably doesn’t notice, being an egomaniac herself.

[NWFree]

He’s on MSNBC which means he’s no threat to any reasonable person

[NWFree]

He preaches to his zombie choir

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I suppose anyone with a TV gig has a big ego. But hers is under more control than Joe’s. He tramples over her and his guests as he monopolizes the air time.

Steroids are probably the closest thing he’s seen to testosterone in years.

[SunkenCiv]

His main problem is, he's a mealy-mouthed lying partisan media shill faux-Republican.

WAS ANYONE REALAY WATCHING THIS GARBAGE???????

ARE THEY STILL ON THE AIR?

[Striperman]

hard to believe he once was a conservative congressman.

[blueunicorn6]

That Joe Scarborough is a real lady killer.

[Nifster]

At least she’s not dead under his desk

[Deo volente]

I see what you did there. Nice!

[bray]

At least the GOP got rid of their MAGA winning ways.

[DPMD]

Given a steroid for his infection? He is an infection.

[Chode]

feh...

[Nathan _in_Arkansas]

I’m sure the doctor didn’t give him anabolic steroids, more like prednisolone or similar, so there was no “roiding out,” unless he was talking about hemorrhoids.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Steroids are probably the closest thing he’s seen to testosterone in years.

We know steroids can cause shrinking of the testes. I wonder if having minuscule testicles produces steroids.

[bray]

Thought Joe became a Dem? Which races did Trump lose?

[Songcraft]

That's what I thought they meant when I first read the headline.   I thought they meant he needed a good dose of this:



(Probably could use it on his tongue, also.)
