What is your take on Joe Scarborugh the Moderate Republican who host the Morning Show on MSNBC?MSDNC. Former Congressman and Editor of the Floridor Sun. Quit politics to take care of his son and family.

Use to have the Show Scarborugh County, and seems to do well against other Morning Shows.
His Co-host. Is Mike Brezinski daughter of Carters Milititary Advisor.

I thought he quit because of the dead intern?

Scarborough had a dead intern? Must have killed herself after watching his awful show.

:D i laughed way harder than i should have at that.

on a serious note, yes...dead intern in the office.

i looked into it and the dead intern happened after he had already decided to step down. regarding his decision:

"Scarborough, who is divorced, has joint custody of sons Joey, 13, and Andrew, 10. He said he has been upset by rumors about the boys' health and behavior.

"There are wild rumors going around in Washington these days that both of my boys have cancer and there are wild rumors going around my district that both of my boys are juvenile delinquents and nothing could be further from the truth," Scarborough said."

so in parallel with the other thread, i think politics is personal regardless of whether you're a man or a woman


more about the intern here:

it was all very strange but seems like an accident. joe was divorced at the time so even if they had been seeing each other as some allege it shouldn't have been a big deal.

I don't mean to make light of someone's death. :-[


Looks like it was a freak accident. Wiki page is more or less shut down. Some controversy but if it involves Michael Moore it's probably pretty stupid.

Scarborough is one of the respectable voices of conservatism which means he's a liberal. ;) Speaking of bad shows, ever see Huckabee's? He shoud be shot for that. Somebody should anyway.

Really D? You think Scarborough is a liberal? I thought the respect came due to his fiscal conservatism. I knew about the problems with his sons. Never knew about the person in his office.

I don't know he seems to take on all those Liberals at MSDNC. He has gone after Matthews and Olbermann. Plus the Socialist ODonell. Plus he is isn't afraid to take on Neo-Cons. Does anyone know if he is still divorced?

Kudos on him taking care of and putting his sons first over his political career.

Nah. I was just messin' around. He is one of those "fiscal conservatives" who looks down on social conservatives and that sort of thing is appreciated by liberals. I consider that suspect.

Well either that or he is using his sons as a pretext to leave MSNBC and his crappy show.

I liked him better with his Scarborough Country.....the other reason I like his show for is the people who he has on. Halperon, Klein, and all those Democratic Politicians. Althought I hate that brezinski always has her Dad on. Talk about Brezinski, one just need look back at his days in Afghanistan with our good old pal and fronted CIA AQ OP vs the Soviets. What was Bin Laden's Cover Name?

Good point MMC. We actually should listen very closely to what he has to say, then do the exact opposite. Same thing I do with Jim Cramer's stock picks. ;D

As a congressman Scarborough was considered too conservative calling for more budget cuts than other repubs in the late 1990's. On MSNBC he's had to be moderate on air under the previous management but since Comcast took over he shows his republican fangs criticizing Obama and dems from time to time. A lot tougher, the freak show far left President of NBC Universal has been replaced by a Republican and Comcasts CEO is republican. I don't see him as moderate, a little boring and wishy washy at times yes. On the air he's going to be different trying to follow journalist rules but still just a talk show.

Mika is good for looks, nice juggs, nice tan and ill tempered making her a good grudge freak if you know what I mean. She actually gets counter stories from the whitehouse to counter what Scarborough says = state run media. No joke, she's got the messiah's disciples feeding her things to say.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2009/10/09/white-house-scarborough-e-mocking-nobel-scarborough-rushs-manhood-

The evening shows at PMSNBC should be like the morning shows as they are too queer, hard left or just a socialist ranters paradise to lie to people. They'd get more viewers and actually attract more conservatives on the air. I saw Chris Christie on the other day, good show.

I read Halperins Time mag column, its hard to peg him down as liberal, more of a moderate conservative plus he writes from an observer standpoint. He's been targeted by the Obamabots many times so its hard to say he's a lefty. McCain let Halperin and another guy follow them on the campaign trail, they wrote a book called "Game Change" and a made for TV movie was made. No way they'd let liberals behind the scenes, not with Palin on the loose.

PMSNBC hired Michael Steele recently, kind of like him better now that the RNC role is over. He can't screw up as much.

Yes MSDNC is now taking a page out of Fox's Book. Hiring More good-looking women to gives us that dirty laundry with a gleam in her eye and that big smile look. While delivering the trajedy of the day. They hired Paige Hopkins from Fox. Grabbed up a couple of other good looking women. Guess they couldn't rely on Margaret Carlson(Thelma from Scobby Doo) and Rachael Maddow.

Not to mention all Mika does is dote on every word that Obama says. Anytime Scarbourough starts taking the President or his policy down a notch. All of a sudden Mika has some talking points. Otherwise I doubt the bitch has a single thought in her head that is her own. When it comes to politics. She also like to tout all her experience in the World of Media. Sorry She has never made the grade. Which is why CBS gave her those walking papers.

Halperin and the guy from Newsweek wrote that book. The one from Newseek is another Obamaton. Though they got Sharpton on there this morning. Like I said when it comes to Morning Shows Scarborough at least gets people in. Although to this day I am still trying to figure out why Mike Barnacle is on that show. What a waste of space that guy is. Tell him to go back to BASTAN(boston) and stay out of the lime-light.

Sharpton is a fool..... this morning he is stating that in every market and report there is an increase in jobs. What a lying fuck. I got one for Sharpton which if I was there I would put his ass right on the spot with. What about those unemployment numbers for Veterans Mr Sharpton. What you don't think that is an indicator as to the truth of all those false numbers you have put out.
Unemployment for Vets has doubled since 2009. You know where the President announced that the Recession was over with. Can you explain Mr. Racial Preacher-Man, why it has gone up from 15% to 30% of Veterans that do not have jobs.

Anytime these politicians start talking numbers. Thats when we not to stop the conversation right then and there. Point out those numbers do not match up. Then make that statement nice and loud like. So, why is it so and so, that you feel that you can LIE to the American People and keep on putting out this false imformation.

I saw Sharptongue this morning, he lies in one breath yet on other days he's said we need more jobs, he's rapping the best line he can hoping no one will remember. Like Fox Msnbc has many attractive women like Savannah Guthrie and Contessa Brewer, they just lost Nora O'Donnel to CBS, no loss there.

Mika is the rich daughter all grown up and still spoiled, she spends more time listening for a chance to rebuttal but backs off knowing rants aren't valid unless she's truthful. The one thing I admire about her is she doesn't like the evening show style of bitchfests and baseless attacks. The company has a Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde routine from morning to evening. They don't care about demographics nor that many who would watch don't care for hateful rants nor the lying. People don't want to be taken for granted.

I agree 100% that MSDNC is emulating FOX. The problem is that it's just a caricature of FOX. There is no doubt that FOX's opinion shows lean "right" (which means neocon) but they aren't as outrageously partisan as they are made out to be.

Matthews started this, IMO. His ratings really took a beating about 8 years ago and he consciously changed his style.

Which I believe took place after he lost the opportunity to run for Office.....his book is required reading in many Universites across the country. But now with the freedom to comment on anything he wants.....IMO shows what his true colors were all about anyways.

Listen to his comments on immigration. Yet the same questions he asks and then ridicules Republicans on.....are the same questions that would apply to any coming to this country and not just specifically to Mexico.

Still most of those that are Republican-Strats and Pols.....tune in to hear what he has to say!

Though MSDNC putting on Sharpton is another matter and all should be on top of that like white on rice. This guy is nothing but a divider and causes more harm than does good. Not to mention having a background with a Christian radio-network does not mean he knows how to be a television host.

What was Matthews considering? Congress?

Most liberals are FOS on immigration. Then again, so are most Republicans. ::)

Anyone in the NYC area is familiar with Al. The best description I've ever heard was "racial ambulance chaser". I loved the way Guiliani dealt with him. He just ignored him and refused to recognize him as a leader of anyone or anything. That drove Sharpton insane. :D

nice...that's the only way to deal with that jack-hole. he is just detestable.

yes, i think Matthews got it in his head he could make a serious run for Senator from PA. ::) the guy has always had an inflated sense of self. eventually he saw the light...there would have been a lot of stories about him and women if he'd pushed it.

you are right, i didn't know that he was a police officer...he ran for representative as well, way back in the day, and did very poorly. interesting that he claims to have voted for GWB in 2000, did not know that. i guess his show rose to prominence on the monica lewinsky thing, i can see how a letch like him would have been excited by that...

Matthews is a liberal puppet, though a catholic who graduated from the College of the Holy Cross, he was a DC Capitol policeman. I looked at his profile, this clown tried to run for the House in 1974, 24% of PA voters were hoodwinked. The policeman job blew me away so I had to look it up, this clown thinks legalizing pot is a good idea. fyi, Glen Greenwald is an extremist liberal fool. Does anyone honestly think "tough guy" when you think of Matthews? Beer, I picture Christy drinking Stella Artois. ;)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Matthews
Despite having worked for Democrats, Matthews has said, "I'm more conservative than people think I am. ... I voted for George W. in 2000."[7] Salon.com has called him the "most conservative voice" on MSNBC's primetime lineup.

Liberal blogger Glenn Greenwald has called Matthews "the most vivid example of all that is wrong with political coverage," saying "he’s endlessly obsessed with personality-based politics and likes to promote the strong, masculine tough guy who you can have a beer with, versus the nerdy loser.

Plus he is like Carville in the aspect that he is married to a woman who is a Republican. Kathleen Parker. Then CNN threw Spitzer in with her for a show that was going to fail. Probably why he thinks he is conservative. Funny thing Ailes from Fox is the one that got Matthews his start in Television.

Matthews is married to a Marriot VP, not Spitzers old counterpart. See the wikilink, I saw someone on tv say it , Matthews couldn't land Parker, she's too normal.

Check that Jugg-head is right. That was Kathleen Cunningham. She use to be on ABC TV. Still I thought she leaned right. Was all involved with Catholic Charities.
