Gotta love Media Matters for America Scareborough inadvertantly nails it!
http://mediamatters.org/items/200503290005

SCARBOROUGH: "You are only one doctor that's been there. And somehow, in your 42 minutes of observing her, you have all the answers and everybody that disagrees is dead wrong, I guess."

A qualified neurologist actually gets in his points (in the transcript) and points out how much of a nutjob the dissenting 8th of 8 neurologists really is, with the 7 other neurologists looking at the facts and TS's CAT scan.

So, a neurologist who observes her for 42 minutes (and has all the details from all her medical records) is uninformed, but people who watch a 30 second clip on Faux, or views a videotape from the Schindler family with a few seconds taken from 20 hours of videotape, has diagnosed her condition perfectly . . .

1. Unfortunatley when the doctor called out stupid, he wasn't really
directing it at Scarbrough, he was talking to the female anchorwoman. I rather he said that to Joe.

2. This doctor had more credibility that the psychic
John Edwards (not the VP Candidate) . . . or even Bill Frist.

3. I am an absolute convert to mediamatters.org
This is a brilliant website that is holding people like Joe Scarborough to account for the words they litter the airwaves with. It exposes the lies of the Rush Limbaughs, the distortions of the Repukes in Congress, the spin of the MSM, and it does it by using their own words. The best, though, is that it always offers a link so that you can, once you are sufficiently outraged (and you ought to be) by the LIES told on TV, contact the liars and tell them you don't appreciate their on-air falsehoods. I know I sound like an advertisement for mediamatters.org but I have no vested interest in them other than that it's a fantastic website.

4. Dr. Ronald Cranford gets my vote if he ever runs for office
He understands the issue of "framing" and seems pretty fearless.
