Aww. Joe wanted Tony Blair to hit Obama...

[Drunken Irishman]

Instead, Blair called what was happening in the Middle East 'growing pains' and essentially supported Obama's foreign policy. Joe is not amused.

1. You can almost smell the desperation on Joey

this morning. He knows the President is winning and he can't handle it.

[mucifer]

2. I guess I'm still asleep. I thought you were talking about Biden. Then I realized

it's scarborough.

[vi5]

3. Scarborough gets much more DU love than Biden it seems.

People on here are much more concerned with posting what Joe Scar says and does than they would be about Biden.

[mucifer]

4. Yeah I was picturing in my tiny brain "why would Joe Biden want Tony Blair to hit President Obama?"

[Jennicut]

9. Can Biden hit Tony Blair?

I like that he defended President Obama but he has never been my favorite person.

[demwing]

10. that's just silly - Biden is almost unanimously loved on DU

Where as Joey Scar-brow is just someone we love to hate

[vi5]

11. I was being snarky.

Although I do think it's pathetic how much posting is done on a Democratic forum about a Republican Ex congressman's show.

Yes, yes, I know, I know it's alla bout "Know what the other side is saying....the interviews are great...blah blah spin spin justification".

The guy sucks. His show sucks.

[demwing]

16. I don't think we care about his opinion, or what the other side is saying

so much as he's on the channel many DUers had on the night before, and we like to have a target to blast away at - it relieved some tension, builds camaraderie, and he deserves it!

BTW - I figured you were being snarky

[gateley]

22. He sure wasn't during the Primaries! There were very few of us in his corner. :-(

[MiniMe]

5. I thought he was talking about Biden too

We need clarity for those of us who just woke up.

[nxylas]

7. I was thinking Joe the Plumber

I can imagine him calling for Obama to be punched.

[skydive forever]

6. Is it just me

or does Mika look like shes about to blow up?

[Cosmocat]

12. YEARS now, of Scarborough

treating her like an abused spouse.

I would imagine it takes a toll.

[PatSeg]

15. I'm surprised she hasn't gone off on him yet

He pushes her buttons on purpose and it is uncomfortable to watch. The other "guys" around the table won't speak up against Joe, probably because they know that getting on Joe's bad side could mean they will never appear on MSNBC again. He is the classic bully who controls the people in his small early morning world.

This isn't the first time I've seen her ready to blow up. It seems to be happening more frequently these days, so maybe one day soon she will let him have it.

[CTyankee]

18. I keep waiting for her to backhand him while looking at the camera...or throw her coffee

at his crotch. I have seen her smack him with her papers. She did say a couple of weeks ago that she was going to have to hit him...that was some show...maybe we'll have another one like it soon...

[PatSeg]

19. Yes Mika, do it, do it, do it!

For all of us.

What I really hate is that "Boy's Club" atmosphere. Its like they all gang up against her, because it is safer to side with Joe. It is such a turnoff as I'm sure they would never behave that way individually. It is so high school all over again.

What was cool this morning though was when they interviewed Bill Clinton and Joe became a totally different person. He was subdued and respectful. I think he's in awe of Clinton. He also behaves himself around Mika's father.

[CTyankee]

20. well, after Mika's dad called him "stunningly superficial" on the air, he couldn't be anything

else but nice...ha, ha...

[PatSeg]

21. He does have the sense to know

when he is out of his league. Mika's dad and Bill Clinton are very intelligent and well educated. Joe is smart enough to know when to back off.

"Stunningly superficial" - really nailed it. Well, and a pretentious, self-absorbed bully as well. There is really something wrong with the man.

8. I don't watch MSNBC until 4pm

All the shows before that cut into my cartoon time

[Mopar151]

13. That, and Animal Planet n./t

[Heather MC]

14. Animal Planet Rocks!!!

[Iggo]

17. Lieberman? Scarborough? The Plumber?

Details, man!
