Keith Olbermann should name Joe Scarborough "Worst Person...
in the World" for pimping the Rashid Khalidi smear against Obama and not even mentioning McCain's huge hypocrisy regarding Khalidi.

1. I've only heard the last 5 minutes of the show so far, and it's disgusting...
We're "the money party" now ~ and Barack is only winning because of constant ads.

All their chins are dragging on the ground because their lame-ass candidate is so far behind.

2. Maybe we should all write Joe and let him know.
Sometimes they're ignorant until we inform them.

3. It's hard to believe he doesn't know...
plus, KO was emphasizing the point last night, so MSNBC DOES know.

4. Based on the way they interacted at the Democratic convention, I doubt Olbermann can really take
Scarborough on in public without NBC/MSNBC getting a resounding slap in the rest of the media. If you notice they try to keep the 2 of them away from each other. I'm sure it is for good reason.

I've watched Joe Scarborough try to go after Olbermann by oblique references to his Bush countdown at the end of the show every night. I don't think Joe can say more specific things against Keith than that.

Also I notice that David Shuster before that Joe blow up during the Democratic Convention tried to stay off Morning Joe. Quite a few mornings, they scheduled him to be on but he didn't show up or they called David while he was in bed.


I think they can go after people from different networks but no one on their own. Instead, I wish we could be a fly on the wall during their regular staff meetings.

5. He is a murderer. How much of a worst person can he become?
I never watch the Morning Intern Killer anyhow.

6. I disagree. I think Mika the Dingbat should take that title today...

Joe is a bloviating political commentator. You expect him to be a twit.

Mika is supposed to be a reporter. She's supposed to know what reporters do.

When Joe was talking about how the LA Times should release that tape, and Barnacle said it would have been released if it'd been Palin with a white supremacist, Mika should have interjected with what any decent reporter should know:

Reporters have gone to jail and let murderers and rapists walk free in order to protect their sources. That compact is the only currency news agencies have to get a story from otherwise uncooperative sources. Once they break that compact, the news agency might as well fold, because they'll never get a story again.

The fact that Mika spoke not a word tells me that MSNBC is the last place on Earth I'd go if I had whistleblower information that required my anonymity.

As a logical aside, if the LA Times were in the tank for Obama, it would have been much easier to skip the story at all, instead of putting themselves in the line of fire like this.

What assholes...notice that they always use "white supremacist" as a false comparison for EVERYTHING, in their little hypothetic, hypocritical theories?
