I sure wish Joe Scarborough would shut the fuck up about Rosie O'Donnell

[CatWoman]

Christ!!!

what's his problem???

[pkz]

1. my sentiments exactly!

I am so sick of his mouth.

[rocktivity]

2. Way to hold on to Olbermann's audience, Joe!

:eyes:
rocknation

[frogcycle]

30. yeah, I had gotten in the habit of leaving the tube on and watching joe...

but he's reverted to kind and milks the sex predator stings, Rosie shit, etc. CLICK!

[H2O Man]

3. I'm glad he plays

the clips of her saying the reasons why the administration would attack Iran .... the audience reacted by clapping.

[Botany]

Talking point to take the heat off bush & company

Today Rush said Dems were like Stalin and Dick Cheney said,
"You nailed that one."

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. Listening also, making me ill... n/t

[mudesi]

5. Because Elisabeth Hasselbeck makes too much sense (nm)

:sarcasm:

[tularetom]

6. Or just shut the fuck up period.

I'm not the biggest O'donnell fan there is but the more assholes like Scarborough and Orally rag on her the more I support her. Anyway I think this is still Amurka and whether or not I agree with Rosie she has a right to say whatever the fuck she wants.

[wildbilln864]

7. She's stirring things up!

Maybe they're afraid that they'll have to start addressing her points sooner or later?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

8. Let the reich wing shill talk... geez, thanks Joe.

:eyes:

[Gen. Jack D. Ripper]

9. whatever amount of time these pundits spend on Rosie

I say, they be required to devote double that to Ann Coulter.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

10. Especially with her last diatribe...

[merci_me]

11. Why not talk about Rosie? What else does he have?

He was such a suck-up "journalist" cheer leading for Bushco, but now even he is at a loss. So, he's gone from pseudo journalism to a Hollywood gossip monger. At least with Rosie, he can pretend he has a drop of journalism to him. Plus, he can pretend he's macho. All he does is show he's a joke. And we thought Rosie was the comic.

[Cha]

12. Hope he gets enough

rope to hang himself..Rosie will persevere.

[AlCzervik]

13. isn't the view actually on vacation this week? thats pretty weak b ut then again i don't expect

much for Joe, i guess talking about Rosie as bill Maher would say "Makes the hamster run on the wheel"

[karlrschneider]

14. It seems to be personal with him...I have no idea why. I mostly like Rosie but I sure wish she

hadn't gone goofy about the WTC 7 bldg. That was beyond dumb.

[walldude]

20. Well there is something wierd about that Bldg 7

Don't know what it is but something doesn't feel right. That being said if she wants to act as a liberal voice she should try sticking to the facts not the speculation so I do agree with you there. You mentioned that it seems personal to Scarborough, I think that's true, he's done the same thing with John Stewart, I was beginning to think he had a crush on him till Joe switched from Stewart to O'Reilly and now to Rosie. Maybe tomorrow he'll switch over to Keith Richards...

[karlrschneider]

24. I guess you could say Olbermann has a similar thing for O'Really but it's deserved...

Joe's obsession just seems to be irrational and maniacal. There's probably more to it than we know or he'll say.
Obviously I don't care to get into a protracted discussion about WTC7 here, I just think she'd be serving the cause better by skipping what comes across as nutty to 99% of republicans and ~3/4 of Democrats. :-)

[walldude]

27. I agree about the Bldg 7 thing, we could debate the merits

of it all day, if something is weird about it I'm sure we'll find out just as soon as we figure out who really killed Kennedy.. As far as Olbermann goes, yeah I think he's just enjoying himself and trying like hell to get O'Reilly dragged off by the men in the funny white coats, which if you saw the O'Reilly vs Geraldo thread it's obvious he's getting close. I find that funny where as I just find Scarborough creepy. Lemme get you the link for the O'Reilly meltdown, it's unreal.

edit: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x587405 O'Reilly vs Geraldo, it came close to blows...

[karlrschneider]

29. Well, you probably won't like what I'll briefly say on these matters, which is okay.

I love a good conspiracy as much as anyone but I can't embrace one just because I'd like for it to be true. I do not believe anybody except Oswald killed JFK. I don't believe there was anything suspicious about WTC7 and absolutely reject any notions, which I consider borderline insane, that the twin towers had implanted explosives.

Not that I don't think Bushco was and is capable of the most vile machinations...there are plenty of those glaringly evident, it's just that as an engineer and commercial pilot both for over 40 years I look at these things dispassionately and a view to rational explanations which I think cover these clearly. I did, coincidentally, see the O'Really/Geraldo video just a few minutes ago.

We probably won't agree on some of this but it's refreshing to be able to discuss them civilly. :D

[walldude]

32. And see the thing with me is I realize that

any suspicions I have about things like Kennedy, and the WTC are just that, little nagging suspicions, I certainly wouldn't debate the merits of those things on a hunch and I certainly wouldn't go on national TV and attempt to persuade people a la Rosie. I'm nuts enough as it is and don't need any PR in that department. The only reason I got into this conversation is it was you I was conversing with. There are a few posters on DU that seem to mirror most of my thoughts and your name is one that I see a lot. Cheers :toast:

edit: Cat should be grateful, we hijacked her thread but we are keeping it kicked... hehe

[karlrschneider]

35. You should be a diplomat! Check that, you actually are.

:D

Not one thing wrong with nagging suspicions...I have plenty of those myself. And with deference to Cat who I imagine won't mind our semi-hijacking the thread, and to keep it all down to a dull roar, I have plenty of questions about 9/11
that haven't been properly addressed that don't even need speculation about controlled demolition or any of that sort of stuff - not the least of which is Chimpy's behavior in Sarasota on getting the 'news.'

But that's getting way off topic. ;-)

[walldude]

37. I think there a number of freepers who would argue the Diplomat

label.. hehe


Sarasota.. I have a firefighter friend who put it this way, "If the alarm went off, and we sat around the station house for 7 minutes till we finished our morning paper, we'd all lose our jobs."

[karlrschneider]

38. Exactly. Just that and the non-response of NORAD (where I served in the 70s)

are far more worthy of investigation than all these diversionary explorations. Solve the BIG puzzle and the details will fall into place!

[frogcycle]

40. jumping in on your hijacked subthread...

I find the various convoluted stories about planted explosives and missiles vs planes and all just wacko...

but the response...
there was a lot that was wacko in the response - or nonresponse

such as the 7-minute delay, the unbelievably lame response of FAA/military - although the incompetance over FEMA kind of validates that that could just have been incompetance too

so while I believe the damage was caused physically as generally accepted, who knew what when remains, in my mind, open to question

maybe they DID just get a windfall and make the most of it. Or maybe they helped - or let - it happen.

[walldude]

41. Many DU'ers believe in the LIHOP theory

(Let It Happen On Purpose) It's certainly more plausible than made it happen. We better cut this out though, I don't want to get Cat's thread locked, the 9/11 forum is the place for this discussion.

[karlrschneider]

45. Truth be known, I'm just a few millimetres away from LIhop.

It would not take a lot more to convince me that PNAC/Bushco had at least an 'inkling' of 9/11. Given the August 01 PDB and their subsequent apologia "Nobody would ever imagine people flying planes into buildings", ad nauseum,
it's damnably tough to suppose they didn't see the upcoming opportunity. I want to think the truth will actually come out some day, though. ;-)

[Chemical Bill]

33. Obviously you...

don't love a good conspiracy as much as anyone.

Did you just say you consider some notions borderline insane, and "it's refreshing to discuss them civilly" in the same post? Just askin'.

bill

[karlrschneider]

34. The operative word is "good"...meaning "plausible"

I consider the 2003 "Mission Accomplished" notion borderline insane. No, make that "totally fucking insane."
However, my comment wasn't directed at you, was it, "bill"?

[Chemical Bill]

50. Yes, it was.

I certainly agree that the specifics you mentioned in other posts are worthy of study. I guess I am just willing to examine more than you, and not reject anything because I don't consider it plausible. Or maybe I consider it plausible that JFK was murdered by more than one man, simply because it's obvious that RFK was. It's like the CIA drug smuggling through the last half century. I notice a pattern.

Bill

[greyl]

43. There's no debate about the fact that fire can melt steel.

Her error was compound: Fire can melt steel (fucking duh) and steel doesn't need to become molten before it looses half of its strength.
She was unwittingly repeating right-wing CT site bullshit, and I'm hoping she retracts the absolutely false portions of her righteous rant after her vacation.

[rurallib]

15. You could have left off the "about Rosie Odonnell" part.

[CatWoman]

21. ROFL!!!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

16. I just went *click* (TV Off)_

Malloy time.

[Bluestar]

17. He is desperate for ratings

He knows that Rosie has made The View's ratings go through the roof and he's trying to ride her coattails. Bill O'Reilly is doing this also. Just my cynical take.

[Melynn]

51. Yeah, that was my take

I don't think Rosie is going to help him out.

[madrchsod]

18. has`t this story been beat to death by now?

giving rosie more pub than she deserves

[bullimiami]

19. im guessing that, like me, many of you agree with everything rosie said.

i like that he has 3 people on who dont even try to discuss WHAT she is saying but just attack her or (wolfe) give a pasty half-assed attempt at saying she has the right to say whatever insane thing she wants.



in a decent world joe would have had to answer some serious questions about lori klausitis. in this republican hell he gets a talk show.

[BigBearJohn]

22. ME TOO!!!!!

[Buzz Clik]

23. These dweebs feed off each other.

Dweeb A says something ridiculous on her show.
Dweeb B sneers at Dweeb A on his show.
Dweeb A takes it up a notch by calling B a name.
Fans of A start howling about B, and fans of B do likewise.

and on and on and on.

They live for each other.

[HowHasItComeToThis]

25. ASK HIM ABOUT DEAD BODIES IN HIS OFFICE

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[frogcycle]

31. what's that about?

I've seen several references to it, but never the story

[karlrschneider]

36. Do a Google on Lori Klausutis

...

[frogcycle]

39. thanks

i guess I vaguely remember that story - the name didn't sink in at the time - I guess he was "born again" as a talking head...

[mod mom]

26. Did you check out Richard Wolfe rolling his eyes? The "demanding the Dems

denounce Rosie and her crazy ideas" is a way to put pressure on Kucinich not to open his limited investigation-which of course, is exactly what the Republicans want.

What is wrong with fair investigations, Joe?

[melody]

28. Because he's emotionally five years old with a mommy problem

And Rosie is 1) female and 2) gay. "2" means she doesn't like men (to his mind) and won't ever be a mommy, so she might be free to be herself. 3) He's a frickin' moron.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

42. He's afraid that the truth will come out and being a gate keeper, he can't allow that to happen. nt

[Cameron27]

44. He's such a loser,

AND I think he says *Dimocrats* on purpose, not because of his accent, AND he uses too much white eyeliner on his lower lids, AND he's a 2 bit sleazy celeb junkie, AND he loves the Donald, AND hates Rosie.

AND I can barely get through 15 minutes of his dumbass show without throwing something at the tv.

[Catherine Vincent]

46. I had fallen asleep with my tube set to Olbermann and woke up

hearing all the yelling on Scarborough about Rosie O'Donnell comparing what she said to Ann Coulter's crap.

[Codeine]

47. I'd love for BOTH of them to shut up, period. nt

[B Calm]

48. After watching Keith Olbermann I would stay tuned in, but lately

I turn the channel.

[butterfly77]

49. They are hoping it catches on with their base...

Its not working.

[Booster]

52. I hate the way he seems to think he thought of "Hollyweird" - what

a doofus. When he rags on Coulter the way he rags on Rosie, maybe then I'll listen to him, but I doubt it. Just another Repug dip shit.
