You are making a mountain out of a molehill. I think we have this thing called a war going on right now and a quite a few scandals going on at the White House. That’s more important than some silly comment about Fred Thompson’s wife. Joe apologized, as he should have. He should not be fired. Let’s face it: the left wing blogs go after him because he’s a Republican and the right wing blogs go after him because he now criticizes Bush and the war (something you will never the idiots at Fox doing).

Who cares? Is this really that big of a deal?

I’m pretty sure that there are MUCH more pressing and important issues facing this country. Get your priorities straight.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it, but don’t attempt to squelch/penalize freedom of speech.

The sidekick/nobody/loser is a nitwit and a jester. The dyed blonde nobody is a sycophantic knob polisher. And Joe is just a bad liar without the guts to own up to what he actually said and clearly meant.

This is officially one of my favorite blog posts of all times. Watching Scarborough sanctimoniously refer to “bloggers” was priceless.

For one, he blogs. Two, his entire show is built up off of web-based information, primarily blogs. Other than TMZ and Drudge, he has no journalistic sources of his own. I don’t hold him up to J-school standards, since he is a commenator, but I do expect a “news” talk show to be accountable enough to admit when they are wrong.

Joe is only following in the footsteps of Dan Abrams, who is perpetually castigating other broadcast news channels as softball or unfocused. Laura Ingraham is not my political cup of tea, but she has it right when she refers to MESSNBC.

Cizao for nizow.

Thanks for reminding me that there are issues even less than important than Paris Hilton!

[...] From Palmetto Scoop: In what has to be one of the WORST apologizes of all time, MSNBC Joe Scarborough ATTEMPTED to make amens – through a series of condescending laughs and ridicule by his co-hosts – on Friday’s Morning Joe for his comment suggesting soon-to-be-presidential candidate Fred Thompson’s wife “works the poll.” After nearly five painful minutes downplaying the comment as little more than a harmless exercise segue, Scarborough finally muttered a not-so-heartfelt “I apologize” to the Thompsons.
