President Carter to be on Morning Joe

[H2O Man]

President Jimmy Carter will be on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" later this morning. It should be good. Are other DUers planning to watch him this morning?

[Me.]

1. Whoopee!

Just had to say it. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

2. Can't watch

Basic satellite - no MSNBC. G3 iMac running Kubuntu - No Flash

This is a radio program, correct? Is there a stream perhaps?

[H2O Man]

4. Radio .....

I've never heard any reference to it being a radio program. Has anyone else?

[blogslut]

5. Well, I am probably mistaken

See? I told you I don't get that station :)

I remember that Imus simulcast his teevee show and radio show at the same time. Joe was his replacement so I just assumed it was the same setup.

6. Imus

had his radio show through CBS. It was a weird set-up. It allowed him to sue them for breaking the contract when they canned him. MSNBC wasn't included in that.

When Carter comes up, I'll try to highlight what he says. It looks like host Joe S is in an anti-democrat mood today. It could be interesting.

7. Thank you

:)

8. There is something

about Joe's behavior this morning that makes me think he has been tasked to "challenge" President Carter on his statements about Bush and Cheney. Of course, it is hard to look good in confronting Carter about his being "disrespectful" to a president, when it requires Joe to be disrespectful to Carter.

10. Oh, spect old Jimmy can handle it

He's not your ordinary peanut farmer. :)

[Me.]

12. I Was Thinking

It's slip the shiv to Al morning. Oh, isn't it a great honor, he's a rock star and remember how boring he used to be and if he were to go up against Hillary, well.....Methinks Cousin Albert has them worried. As for Jimmy, he can handle a peanut like Joe, he was a peanut farmer after all.

13. It is hard

to find a way to be disrespectful to an Elder Statesman, without looking like an ass.

3. I rarely watch Joe but I'm watching

this morning.

9. Same here.

This is my first time tuning in and it was the first thing I did when I woke up.

11. I've been switching between CSpan, CNN

and Morning Joe.

[H2O Man]

14. Here goes!

President Carter is speaking well of President Gore. He hopes it encourages Al Gore to consider running for president.

[H2O Man]

15. Joe tries to divide

the democrats by asking Carter about Clinton, Obama, and Edwards failing to say the US will definitely be out of Iraq by 2012. Carter says he will support the democratic nominee, whoever it is. Good response!

[malaise]

16. Ignore Joe

Bravo Jimmy Carter.

[H2O Man]

17. When asked about

his speaking out against the administration, he notes he is not attacking anyone as a person, but reserves the right to disagree with any policy -- such as torture -- where he thinks it is important to speak out.

18. 'i hope we don't make the ridiculous decision to invade iraq'

me too president carter, me too

[H2O Man]

19. I liked that.

He is doing very well.

[H2O Man]

21. President Carter

doing well on the Palestinian question. He puts the focus on the lack of initiative on the part of this administration to work towards peace.

[Me.]

20. But The Friends Of Israel

maybe you, I don't know about you...hsve concentrated on the word apartheid. SMACK!

[H2O Man]

22. President Carter

knows the history of the conflict, specifically the US role. Joe is in over his head.

[Me.]

25. Loved The Next Bit

When Joe challenged him again and Jimmy said he could read his previous book for the answer or Jimmy could take up 10 minutes of air time explaining it to him. As far as the entire interview goes, I'd say, game, set & match.

[H2O Man]

26. That was nice.

I enjoyed it.

23. Summary: Carter to Scarborough - Unapologetic

Damn Right! Go President Carter!

[H2O Man]

24. President Carter

was right on target this morning. Very impressive.

To be fair, Joe S was more decent than I anticipated.
