If it makes you happy why are you so mad?
Well, if Joe Scarborough says something, it must be true. But at least we now know who he prefers.
at least we know what mika thinks
The "talking" that he's doing is pillow talk with Mika about how Trump supporters allegedly think.
Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBCâs Morning Joe, is sending signals that he might be ready to run again for public office. He was the subject of a fawning profile in Parade. An op-ed piece he penned at Politico made Scarborough sound like a reasonable Republican who might appeal to independent voters. A persistent rumor even has âMorning Joeâ running on a presidential ticket with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
If âMorning Joeâ does wind up on a ballot somewhere, voters might want to keep this question in mind: Was a young woman once murdered in Joe Scarboroughâs office?
Many Americans probably have forgotten, or never knew, that a 28-year-old female staff member was found dead in the summer of 2001 in the office of U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough (R-FL). Officials in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, determined that Lori Klausutis died from an accident. The mainstream press largely ignored the case, but our review of several investigative reports indicates the official finding is highly questionable.
Does that mean Joe Scarborough is a murderer? No. But we suspect someone who had access to Scarboroughâs office in 2001 is a murderer. We find it unlikely that the head trauma that killed Lori Klausutis was the result of an accident.
We hardly are the first to raise the âmurderâ issue that surrounds Scarborough. Two liberal icons, filmmaker Michael Moore and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas, made references to it and wound up in public spats with Scarborough.
Since Scarborough himself doesnât shy away from the topic, we wonât either. The subject is of particular interest here in Alabama because Scarborough is a graduate of the University of Alabama and is pals with former Gov. Bob Riley and his son, Homewood attorney Rob Riley. The Rileys probably are one of the sleaziest father/son tandems in the history of American politics. Regardless of what one might conclude about the Lori Klausutis death, any would-be voter should be alarmed by Scarboroughâs ties to the Rileysâespecially since dead bodies mysteriously kept popping up around Alabama in the final year of Big Bobâs reign.
Why should we doubt the finding of an accidental death in the Lori Klausutis case? Here are several reasons:
* The nature of the head trauma does not suggest an accidental deathâAccording to a report from American Politics Journal (APJ), Dr. Michael Berkland, medical examiner, determined that Klausutis had an undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia that caused her to faint and hit her head on a desk in Scarboroughâs office. Reports APJ:
There are several problems with the head injury. Generally, for a closed head injury to cause bleeding inside the skull, there is a much more severe injury on the outside of the skull. Do the autopsy notes, indeed, describe such a severe injury on the outside of the skull? In fact, the only closed head injury which usually may cause bleeding inside the skull involves a fracture of the temporal bone, with rupture of the underlying artery. The most important discrepancy that should be answered is how intracranial bleeding could continue if the cardiac arrhythmia had caused a cessation of blood flow to the brain.
* The fainting story does not add upâWhat is the likelihood that an apparently healthy woman, who ran marathons, would faint and hit her head on a desk in such a way that would cause death? Itâs pretty unlikely, our research indicates. Reports APJ:
Presumably the heart valve condition alluded to is Mitral Valve Prolapse. This may be associated with arrhythmias, but rarely with VTach (ventricular tachycardia) or VFib (ventricular fibrillation), the only arrhythmias which would stop the flow of blood to the brain.
Generally, with syncope of whatever cause the âguarding reflex,â wherein one raises a hand to protect the head, is preserved.
A report at onlinejournal.com, stated that such a fall in a healthy person is unlikely to cause death. Berklandâs determination of an accidental death, however, brought the investigation to a virtual halt:
According to the medical literature, simple falls in young, healthy people, virtually never cause
death. Berklandâs claim that injury opposite to the site of impact is observed only when a
personâs head hits a stationary object is also contradicted by the literature. . . .
The autopsy describes the prolapsed mitral valve in great detail, claiming that the medical
literature sustains the notion that this is likely to be fatal.
Dr. Berkland contends in lengthy autopsy comments that âthere are only about three entities that generally cause one to drop in midsentence or in midstride . . . pulmonary embolus . . . a ruptured aneurysm . . . and most common, is a sudden cardiac arrhythmia.â Yet, the medical literature suggests that neither pulmonary emboli nor aneurysms are likely to cause immediate loss of consciousness. A blow to the head is a common cause of loss of consciousness. . . .
I remember that from when it happened. It was just after Gary Condit.
DeSantis is not a great campaigner...Trump is.
Trump is not a great gov’t executive...DeSantis is.
They need to combine forces. Trump as President will take on World leaders (foreign policy/affairs). DeSantis tackles gov’t reform and oversight.
You encapsulated my preferences on the two perfectly. Unfortunately there is likely to much ego between both of them for it to ever happen!
Hey, Morning Joke Idiot — how about that murdered intern in your office?
Why does anybody listen to this jerk?
Easy. He expects Trump will be soundly beaten in 2024 so heâs doing what he can to discourage DeSantis from entering the race and challenging Trump for the nomination.
So some supposed Conservatives who think Joe knows nothing from nothing, will take this and think Joe is a smart guy.
Why? Confirmation bias. People tend to believe what confirms their own bias no matter who says it.
Trump for Seceratary of State!
Joe. Never mind that s***. Go see how your intern is doing. Still Dead? Just as I suspected.
DeSantis is running?
Where does all this ridiculous BS come from?
I’d vote easily for either Trump or DeSantis.....Hope they both line up at the gate.
I think that one of Trumpâs biggest mistakes in the 2020 campaign was during his first debate with Biden. Trump completely ignored the rules and sort of went bonkers. It showed some character issues. It wasnât a good look, and I think it hurt him with voters.
