Joe Scarborough has denied having it in for Marco Rubio. But on today's Morning Joe, he went on an anti-Rubio rant so protracted that one segment wasn't enough to contain it. Scarborough first called Rubio the "Republican Obama," who's been marketed like a "bag of potato chips," and the "emptiest suit" in the campaign. After a commercial break, Scarborough hectored Rick Santorum, who has just endorsed Rubio, repeatedly challenging him to name Rubio's accomplishments.
By all means, let's carefully examine the record of all candidates. But for Scarborough to deny that, for whatever reason, he has a grudge against Rubio is a joke. Can anyone remember the last time Joe attacked Hillary or any other prominent Democrat with such sustained vitriol?

Anti-Rubio FReepers will love Joe’s rant. Marco fans, not so much.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I’ll say it again. People should not be so quiet about Jeb and Kasich. There could be a situation where Rubio is the only firewall to stop those two.
On this, he is correct. Rubio basically has a 8-line resume....same as Senator Obama in 2008.
Yeb!, Kasuck, and Mario Rubco all want to give the Democrats a permanent majority.
If ANY of them win, we all lose our country.
Well Joe would be a world class expert on being an empty suit.
How many Freepers openly embrace racial supremacist organizations?
How many fans can Rubio have here at this point?
Scarborough’s anti Rubio bias has been apparent for a long time. He also has a pro Bush bias. As Rubio rises, look for Joe to increase his anti Rubio rhetoric. Today, he was adamant about wanting Bush to continue beyond New Hampshire to South Carolina. The reason he wants Bush to continue in SC is he believes Bush can blunt or slow Rubio’s rise.
Only on Rush Limbaugh
That is definitely the problem I have with Rubio—all “promise” and looks, but no actual accomplishments. Can’t prove it, but my gut tells me he will continue Obama’s work in opening the immigration floodgates to the Third World. Rubio’s really done little or nothing to dispel that concern.

Sure you can prove it. Rubio has been pro-illegal his entire political career going back to his time in FL politics.
Gang of eight.
Joe has been such a disappointing sellout.
Maybe that makes up for the absolute Shilling Fox’s Steve Duece Did for Dondi this morning while interviewing Chris Cristy. I am no fan of Christy but wow...
I couldn’t believe it. It was so bad even Brian Kilmeade tried to get Duece to move on In the interview.
Is there even a Republican watching MSNBC?
Except for the old people who dropped their remote and they cannot change the channel.
Sometimes it’s better to turn the sound off and focus on Mika.
Joe has to show he has a liberal side to him to make Mika happy.
Rubio is a big bag of nothing.
At least you can say Jeb was a two-term governor.
He was third on my list. I thnk he's a squish and is in over his head running for president, but Trump and Cruz are determined to destroy each other and if they keep it up, then Rubio will be my choice.
I don't think Trump has the temperament to be president and I don't think Cruz has the good sense to keep from self destructing.
When it comes down to it, this is a pretty sad lot we have vying for the highest office in the land.
I see plenty of them. Some of them have even deluded themselves that Rubio has changed his mind about amnesty.
