Everyone knows what he said….even Joe knows what he said and how he meant it. I know he’s not a complete idiot…he must know that there are transcripts and video tape…why would he deny something that is undeniable…maybe he is an idiot!!

I’m watching morning joe right now and they’ve been ripping on bloggers for the last 25 minutes since they started. Not consequtively, but every 2-3 mins they take a few shots. “That’s why we need those bloggers.”

“Ridley you’re making the mistake of thinking more than 2 people read these things”

You guys need to start live blogging each morning because he sounds like a pissed off 16 year old.

Why hasn’t Fred Thompson flogged this impudent media creature? He besmirched his wife’s honor! I say again dueling pistols at dawn is the only response an honorable Southern gentleman of Ol Fred’s stature should consider. If Dubya had put a bullet between the eyes of the first reporter who suggested Laura exercises in a less than chaste manner his approval ratings would be at least as high as Rudy Guiliani’s. Rumor has it
that Rudy, yankee though he is, once had a man taken out back and soundly thrashed by a number of his aides for oggling his wife’s breasts like Wolfowitz did with at that fundraiser. Now that’s manly stuff! You’ll never catch Bill Clinton standing up for a lady like that.

But I digress. The longer he delays demanding satisfaction from Scarborough with at least a glove across the face the longer Thompson runs the risk of forever being branded as a liberul Hollywood pantywaist unable to protect his woman from the verbal taunts of the media. Is that what we want in a president? After 7 years of the press snickering behind Bush’s back about his wife and daughters I’m ready for a change.

Look, I think it’s all being blown out of proportion – just like the Imus thing was – but Scarborough ought to just be honest .. clearly he’s being dishonest today in his spin about the remark.

He was being salacious – and trying to be funny… but what’s truly funny is when JS tries to pretend he’s a randy, wordly guy (watch his lame celebrity segments sometime), and it rings quite hollow.

Wonder if he knows how many bloggers have a bigger audience than he does?

The earlier discussion was with Tracie Burgess, who is a tri-athlete. She stated that she is taking a class that is similar to pole dancing, because it builds the upper body strength, etc., which is helpful in her training as a tri-athlete. They then segwayed into the Fred Thompson story and his “hot” wife. Joe made reference to her working the pole…and there can be no doubt that he was referring to “pole” not “poll”. If MSNBC believes his lies, then there is no hope for them, and IMUS is much better off without those losers!!

He and that John Ridley are LIARS! I was watching that show and knew EXACTLY what he meant when he asked if Thompson’s wife worked the pole! Whose the BETTER man? Imus, who apologized DIRECTLY to the people he hurt or Joe whose sitting there NOT APOLOGIZING and lying to the viewers? What REALLY makes me sick is that MSNBC is ACTUALLY protecting this jerk! Last but NOT least, Joe ATTACKS the bloggers for reporting this story! If he is so innocent, then why is he BEGGING his friends NOT to report on this story?
