Joe Scarborough is A COWARD!!!
He just bailed on a heated exchange between O'Donnell and some Bush defender simply for pointing out the obvious. I've never seen anything like this!! He actually screamed into his mic to go to a break!!
Unreal!!

5. Of course he is a coward how about the intern found in his office.
Remember he had an appointment that morning with a constituent and he somehow ending up in DC that morning instead...always wondered...if he was a coward...but then we all know he is. That's why he turned down the request from Florida to run again for the House a couple of years ago. He was afraid they would find out something about him.

8. i'm no fan of Scarborough but let's not go overboard with the speculations ...
From what I've read in various news reports in the past, he resigned his Congressional seat because his young son had recently been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. At the time, he was divorced from his first wife and had joint custody of the kids. Type 1 is very serious. If that was Scarborough's reason for leaving office, and i have no reason to believe otherwise, his decision to leave reflects well on him as a father who puts his family ahead of his political career. One of his sons was also diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (a high functioning form of autism, I believe).
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2001-05-25-scarborough.htm

There is no evidence that Scarborough was involved in the intern's death. It was ruled a tragic accident. Fact is, freak accident happen, and they can happen anywhere, including a Congressman's office.

I don't like Scarborough's politics, his arrogance, and the way he invents 'facts' to suit his political views. But that's not a reason to smear him with unfounded speculations regarding his personal life. Katherine Harris did that during her senate campaign because Scarborough had been asked to consider running against her. Do we want to stoop to her level too?

17. Yeah ...
OK ...

And OJ really did not kill Nicole ...

Hot intern just happened to have a "freak accidcent" fall or whatever it supposedly was that left her head bashed in, in a congressman's office ...

Cause, that happens ...

On the face of it, it is beyond believable ... When you see Scarboro act the way he does, there is little doubt about it ...

18. Oh please. If you believe that excuse about his son, I know a nice bridge
I could sell you. Ever hear of an "excuse?" That's what people conjure up when they don't want the truth to be known.

7. Good point nt
Morning Jokes ratings are in the toilet. The show is 4th behind Robin Meade. MSNBC needs to dump Squinty and the Meat Puppet and put in a team that will keep the audience that watches Keith & Rachel. David Schuster and Tamron Hall would be great in that slot.

9. I'll never forget him after KO's second ever "Special Comment"
That smirking prick's show used to follow "Countdown" in those days. His "deer-in-the-headlights" look after hearing Keith lambaste Dumbya was priceless!

11. It's often fascinating TV. And it's where you'll first hear the day's official talking points.

13. We watch because it should be easy to be one step ahead. I want to see when
the dems are going to take off the training wheels and realize that they are being sabotaged by the right. O'Donnell is showing them how it's done. We will hear about it tonight, I hope. On KO or RM.

12. It was a laugher to see the Coward try to get rid of O'Donnell. Shhhh, shhhhsh! We've got to get
rid of him because he's telling the truth. It makes Republicans look bad. I was laughing my ass off! The laugh track is going on in the background. Joe was funny. Stunning display of cowardice.

O'Donnell told the truth and he didn't let the Bushie get away with blaming things on Clinton. 9-11 happened on Bush's watch because he ignored all of the intel that was handed to him.

14. I completely agree...
It was very annoying when he kept trying to interrupt Lawrence while he was talking. The med comments were totally over the line as well.

15. That was disgusting.
O'Donnell was just starting to kick that guys ass and Joe panicked. "Mayday! Mayday! Facts at 12:00 O'clock! Bail Out!" Then he gives O'Donnell 30 seconds at the end. What a pathetic display. It's typical.

16. I remember "Squint" ripping on people celebrating
Obama's victory on election night. He was so sad that night and he couldn't stand it when people were happy to see the conservative GOP machine get it's ass kicked. I believe he even called the celebration as classless.

Squint is a shallow hypocrite as well as a coward.
