Joe Scarborough: a Useful idiot for the Left? (vanity)

-->Hint: Everybody that works on MSNBC is eaten up with jealousy about Fox

The clinical term for that is ratings envy.

Heh...I was in grade school back then.

The recurring argument I've seen on FR.com though points to Reagan giving into Democrats in Congress so he could get his military spending pushed through to defeat the Soviet Union. I think that is a reasonable explanation.

What is Bush's excuse? He controls the House, Senate AND White House!

Joe Scarborough: a Useful idiot for the Left? (vanity)

Speaking of "idiots," you be one COLLOSSAL idiot to make such an absurb claim.

"Joe should leave Bush-bashing to liberals."

I guess you having gotten the memo yet?? It's the 21st century, and it's "President" George Bush -- NOT "King" George.

Somebody pull this assinine thread.

FoxNews claims to be "fair and balanced." Why do you insist on labeling them as the voice of conservatism?

They, like MSNBC, are merely trying to win ratings. If Joe Scarborough were not trying to get better ratings for his network, he would be stealing his paycheck instead of earning it.

[Howlin]

Don't EVER forget who one of Joe Scarborough's best friends in D.C. was: Gary Condit. They hung out together; and when Condit got in trouble, Scarborough left town.

I find him as useless as John Kasich was/is on FOX. I do notice that just about everyone on MSNBC takes shots at FOX. Especially that punk Oberman. I do respect Lester Holt. I wouldn't be suprised to see him in the FOX lineup in the next 12 months.

And theirs is very small? :-)

Can anybody tell me why conservatives in the media aren't playing the Dems hawkish statements on Iraq (circa 98) as much as the Left played 41's "Read my lips, no new taxes."
If we had the stomach for the fight, these SOBs would be electorally dead. If we keep letting them get away with this BS, Dubya will lose in 04. Don't underestimate the power of the "Bush Lied!" rhetoric. The media is in full anti-Bush mode and the White House won't hit back. The conservatives in the media should. Joe Scarborough has a Hell of a lot of nerve to join the anti-Bsuh jihad. He just advanced the "Bush isn't doing enough in the War on Terror" bs line that the DNC is pushing. Joe just went Vichy.

When Joe was a congressman, we went to this rally where Joe was the MC.

You're either a school teacher with the summer's off, or just independantly wealthy :)

[Ann Archy]

I can't stomach that weasel Imus anymore...and Bernie is trying t hard to be as CYNICAL as Imus.....memo to Bernie: STOP IT!

[Howlin]

Nobody that really knows me would let me teach their kids anything........LOL.

[eddie willers]

Why isn't Joe showing endless tape of Kerry and Graham and the rest of the SOBS in 1998

I don't watch Joe all that much....but apparently more than you.

I have seen him absolutely bitch slap the left time and time again.
(esp. Garofalo)

Joe's from the South so you may be mistaking politeness (don't be rude to your guest) for pusillanimity.

[Howlin]

I find him as useless as John Kasich was/is on FOX.

John Kasich was yet another of Gary Condit's friends in D.C. that ran in that 'pack.' He also found a good excuse to get out of town when all hell broke loose for Condit.

I do like Lester, but for goodness sake, LOSE the uplighting!

And I think Olbermann is FUNNY....if you disregard his politics.

[pgkdan]

What is Bush's excuse? He controls the House, Senate AND White House!

Not really. Bush can count on the House. The Senate is tied in knots by it's own antiquated rules and is really controlled by the'Rats and a half dozen RINOS.
