With panelists Willie Geist and Mika Brzezinski in supporting roles, the Morning Joe host went off on Thompson today with stunning vitriol, calling "Freddie boy" "pathetic," a "lapdog" and a "hatchet man" for John McCain. JOE SCARBOROUGH: Last night it was so painfully obvious that Fred Thompson went to John McCain yesterday morning [affecting deep Thompsonesque voice] "if I can stay awake through this debate, I'll attack Huckabee for you."

Think I'll post my comments there.
Watched a replay of Anderson Cooper where they had a segment about racist articles in Ron Paul's newsletters in the 1990s. He showed a clip of Ron Paul disowning these newsletters but one of them referred to his own hometown in Texas. Busted.
The Morning Joe crew also went after The View panel because they went after Chris Matthews and some comments he made about Hillary before NH primary.
Speaking of NH. Kucinich says he'll ask for recount.
Kucinich, who won 3,901 votes Tuesday to take fifth among Democrats, cited unexplained disparities between ballots counted by hand and those by machine.
The Clintons wouldn't try to pull the voter fraud card again would they?
Have you noticed Morning Joe crew’s attitude towards Gov. Huckabee has changed? Yesterday I thought I heard Scarborough refer to him as Gov. Huckup. I thought that was offensive. Today I find out that Mika has a real problem with something he said about his wife being subservient to him. Joe was tweaking her on that subject.
I think it was Mika that said the Clintons should be real careful about this race issue. Even if she wins she may lose the black support in November implying that they might just stay home. I’m enjoying this little tiff.
One thing that alarmed me yesterday was that either Pat Buchanan or Bob Novak said that in 2000 McCain won Michigan against Bush because of crossover voting in the primary. Something like 17% of his votes came from dems or undecideds that year. Man we have to fix this primary system.
One thing Joe said today. 52% of the delegates will be determined on Super Tuesday. Feb 5th I believe.
