Not a fan of Scarborough, but....

[waiting for hope]

Is he really just trying to capture some of KO's magic, or does Dead Intern Joe genuinely believe what he is saying? I've had it on and listened only because I have just finished watching KO and didn't bother to turn the channel.........this week seemed particularly left sided:


Scarborough Country for Oct. 16

SCARBOROUGH: I‘ll tell you what—and if you look at the new ABC News/”Washington Post” poll, it asks likely voters if most Republicans in Congress deserve to be reelected, only 39 said yes, while 56 percent said no.

Joe Klein, if I‘m a betting man, I say it‘s going to be one of these years like 1980, 1994 -- actually, 1974, 1966, where you have this huge landslide. I think Republicans are going to be wiped out in the House and the Senate. What do you think?

Oct 16

Scarborough Country for Oct. 17

SCARBOROUGH: Pat Buchanan, the problem is, for Republicans this year, that movement conservatives—people who voted for you, people who voted for me in 1994, people who got Ronald Reagan elected in 1980 -- all of those people or most of those people that were really the engine behind those victories...

BUCHANAN: Right.

SCARBOROUGH: ... are saying to me privately, I don‘t care whether Republicans maintain control of Congress or not.

Oct 17

Scarborough Country for Oct. 18

JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST: Bill Clinton is back, and Democrats are cheering “Happy Days Are Here Again.” Six years after retirement, 10 years after late night pizza parties with Monica, Bill Clinton once again the hero of FDR‘s party, pushing hard to sink George Bush‘s GOP. But that ship‘s already in danger of sinking as a new NBC/”Wall Street Journal” poll that‘s just out tonight is pointing to a Democratic landslide in less than three weeks. Say hello, Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The GOP Congress approval rating is down to a dismal, almost unheard of 16 percent. That‘s lower (ph) than Republicans like me swept into power in 1994 and just one point off from their all-time low. And George Bush‘s approval rating stuck in the 30s, at 38 percent. That is 10 percentage points lower than Bill Clinton‘s approval rating before the 1994 historic landslide. Republicans, it would seem, are going down with Mr. Bush‘s ship.

Oct 18

Scarborough Country for Oct. 19

SCARBOROUGH: With “Time” magazine reporting that top GOP leaders now expect Democrats to gain as many as 27 House seats, do Republican candidates have nothing left to offer but fear itself?

~Snip~

SCARBOROUGH: Republicans‘ approval rating in Congress only 16 percent. George Bush‘s approval rating 38 percent, a full 10 points lower than where Bill Clinton was when we were swept into power in 1994. It‘s all over. I mean, the fat lady has sung, right?

~Snip~

SCARBOROUGH: You know what happens in two-and-a-half weeks for Republicans?

BUCHANAN: What?

SCARBOROUGH: Probably another five of their candidates get indicted!

I mean, it just keeps getting worse! 

(CROSSTALK)

SCARBOROUGH: ... getting worse for the Republican Party, for my Republican Party, it has been such a bleak fall. And Terry...

I'm beginning to see a shift - anyone else noticing?

1. I would hope so but the next Rovian trick is around the corner you know

they have something up their sleeve to say the won even if the polls don't match the electronic tallies!


October 17, 2006,Will be remembered as the Enabling day of the 21st Century!
"The government will make use of these powers only insofar as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures..."

2. But what will it be?

KO was talking tonight about how cynical and political savvy this nation has become over the last twenty years - I know there were enough stupid people in 2000, 2002 and 2004, but after all the crap lately, what could they pull out of their putrid hat that voters will believe as being sincere and authentic? I don't know, if there was a trick, I think it would have been used by now. BTW, love your pics!

3. Did you see this piece

that Scarborough wrote for Washington Monthly? http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0610.scarborough.html Pretty interesting.

And we thought Clinton had
no self-control


By Joe Scarborough

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When The Washington Monthly reached me at my office recently, a voice on the other side of the line meekly asked if I would ever consider writing an article supporting the radical proposition that Republicans should get their brains beaten in this fall.

“Count me in!” was my chipper response. I also seem to remember muttering something about preferring an assortment of Bourbon Street hookers running the Southern Baptist Convention to having this lot of Republicans controlling America’s checkbook for the next two years.

Maybe that’s because right-wing, knuckle-dragging Republicans like myself took over Congress in 1994 promising to balance the budget and limit Washington’s power. We were a nasty breed and had no problem blaming Bill and Hillary Clinton for everything from the exploding federal deficit to male pattern baldness. I suspected then, as I do now, that Hillary Clinton herself had something to do with “Love, American Style” and “Joanie Loves Chachi.” And why not blame her? Back then, Newt Gingrich felt comfortable blaming the drowning of two little children on Democratic values. Hell. It was 1994. It just seemed like the thing to do.

It continues http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2006/0610.scarborough.html

4. I saw that, and he did another one prior

that was pretty scathing but I've always found him to be wishy washy. I am just being amazed that the so called "liberal" media perhaps is becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.

5. OTHER: He's just another GOP liar...

putting a little lipstick on the pig that is himself.
