When did Scarborough turn on Repugs?

[marmar]

He began his show with "the scandal that will end the Republicans' monopoly on Capitol Hill."

[Olney Blue]

1. I think his show "Is Bush an Idiot?" was a turning point....

[originalpckelly]

2. When they were no longer about real American-conservatism...

and more about staying in power. One might suggest that they were never really a party of American conservatism, but really a party based upon deceptions and hatred.

[Karenca]

3. Katrina

That's when he took the flag off his lapel.

[Pirate Smile]

7. True. Katrina was when the middle couldn't ignore it anymore.

Even some Republicans and Conservatives woke up after Katrina.

[caledesi]

25. Yep. Remember it well. nt

[Webster Green]

4. Gradually...drip..drip..drip..

He seems pretty fed-up at this point

[karlrschneider]

5. Like all politicians he knows which side of the bread the butter goes on.

It's that simple.

[PCIntern]

6. When he got wind of the books being published

and probably this story was kicking around for a while. There was some talk that thes foley e-mails were on the net prior to ABC's release.

[LTR]

8. When Olbermann started getting better ratings

And he was the unlucky boring GOP chump that had to follow the hottest show on MSNBC.

[Tinksrival]

21. You get a big

BINGO

10. Tonight Joe says Foley used the Page program as his personal farm system.

:wow:

[malaise]

11. Good fugging grief

Did you just hear that Foley offered housing for blowjobs. This gift is not going away anytime soon. This fugger was sick.

[Greeby]

13. Aye, sick, but suddenly this oft-used phrase has new meaning

[malaise]

17. Touche!!

As my nephew would say 'Who would have thunk!"

[oasis]

19. Great sign.

:bounce:

[oasis]

14. Joe stopped short of saying "The GOP is toast" because of the coverup.

[AlCzervik]

12. he is what my husband calls a "Bandwagon jumper" and he jumped

when the polls started really headed down the shitter. He had plenty bad to say about John Kerry during 2004 and for that i will never watch him.

[bklyncowgirl]

15. Sounds like Foley burned Scarborough bigtime

He had him on the show talking about stopping child molesters with Chris Hansen no less.

I imagine that Joe's genuinely pissed at Foley and even more pissed at the Republican bigshots that did nothing to stop him.

[malaise]

22. Joe said they were really good friends

He should be pissed unless he knew about him.

[bklyncowgirl]

24. Scarborough knew he was gay.

He didn't know about the pages.

[graywarrior]

16. He senses the turning tides....but he's a douchebag.

[Mz Pip]

18. No skin off his back

He doesn't have to run for re election with these guys. He sticks his finger in the air and knows which way the wind is blowing here. Better to be ahead of the disaster that is coming than stand steadfast and look like an uninformed fool at the end of the day.

Opportunistic perhaps, but at least he's more real than Rush or Hannity.

20. "My lawyer is a latino"

[Marie26]

23. Katrina

I used to tune in just to see his rants. He was genuinely angry, outraged, and betrayed by his party, and hasn't been the same since.
