Pissing Contest between Joe Scar & Olbermann?
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 08:31 PM by RamboLiberal
Where was Joe Scarborough on election night? He was 160 miles from MSNBC’s studio, speaking to students at Williams College in Massachusetts with his co-host, Mika Brzezinski, who graduated from there.

Mr. Scarborough’s absence from the biggest news event of the year was noticeable to some viewers, since he is the only openly conservative host on MSNBC. But in retrospect, his choice to stay away from the studio looked wise. It reaffirmed that his morning talk show with Ms. Brzezinski, “Morning Joe,” stands apart from the liberally themed shows at other hours on MSNBC.

-----

He does not exempt his own network from the criticism. Tensions between Mr. Scarborough and MSNBC’s top anchor, Keith Olbermann, are a badly kept secret, and they occasionally spill onto the air. It is safe to say that having Mr. Scarborough at the same long table as MSNBC’s liberal hosts on Tuesday would probably not have been entirely pleasant.

That table of hosts came under scrutiny on Friday after Mr. Olbermann was suspended for making donations to Democratic candidates. Mr. Scarborough made a donation to a Republican candidate in 2006, but MSNBC said that he had asked permission. Mr. Olbermann had not.

I want to know WTF is up with everywhere Mika goes Joe's there? And all the damn flirting, his backhandness to her, etc. They sure act like they are sleeping together! It's so damn obvious! And isn't he still supposedly married?

If you ask me this is damn unprofessional on a network that prides itself on journalism! MSNBC needs to put a stop to this! :sarcasm:

4. He talks to her like she's and idiot or his concubine
she needs to either verbally smack him down once and for all. I check tomorrow if 'door mat' is tattooed to her damn forehead! :mad: And I'd say yes, he banging her and her husband is a slug if he doesn't know and even more of an asshole for not taking joe shit aside for a heart to heart about toning down the bullshit with his wife on air. Things like Mika was smashed last night on Smirnoff's' and other equally gratuitous snide comments and bullshit.

He's an ass I never even thought of him sitting at the table on election night. He's more useless than a slinky.

12. I was wondering if she was married
Thanks for confirming it. It gets downright embarrassing to watch these two at times and really creepy that he accompanies her to events & appearances she is at.

6. I found it weird that Mika Brzezinski already came out and defended Joe

I'd be shocked if she aint his side piece..they certainly act like it


http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1110/44768.html

according to Scarborough’s co-host on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski, as well as John R. McGregor III, a representative from the Scarboroughs' Pensacola, Fla., bank. POLITICO was provided a copy of the bank transfer, which was dated April 9 and signed by Susan Scarborough.

“The Scarboroughs expect John Merrill will amend his campaign report to accurately reflect that reality,” said Brzezinski. “If he does not, I will recommend they file an ethics complaint against him.”

Brzezinski also challenged Merrill’s recollection of having brought Scarborough to Tuscaloosa for an August 2009 fundraiser for the county Republican Party, which Merrill said “was unbelievably successful. We raised a ton of money that we used to help local candidates.”

That event was “was billed as a tribute to Gov. Bob Riley on his retirement from politics,” said Brzezinski, noting that Riley and Scarborough served together in Congress and asserting, “Any suggestion that Joe Scarborough went to the University event to raise money for a political party is false. Sadly, many politicians try to elevate their standing by exaggerating their connection to Joe. This is one of those cases.”

7. Mika Brzezinski is Pathetic!!!!!!
Enough said.....How many times has she been fired for her lack of talent before ending up at this network?

If Mika Brzezinski did not have connections, she'd be working at Wal-Mart. She is a no mind just like her co-host.

14. It's events like this that make me wonder about these two
He seems to be at every one of her appearances instead of going home to his family.

Feb 2010

HuffPost’s Arianna Huffington held a book party for MSNBC’s “Morning Joe’s” Mika Brzezinski last night at Huffington’s home in Brentwood. Joe Scarborough attended. Brezezinski’s book is All Things at Once.

Our sister site, FishbowlLA, wrote up the event.

20. The Rich & Powerful Get Together
I never trusted Arianna Huffington either....I remember when she was a Newt Gingrich gal in the 1990s and her bashing of the Democratic Party was well known at that time as well.....

Arianna Huffington is all about money and I don't trust her one bit.

That's right--she (Arianna Huffington)ran for Governor of California as a REPUBLICAN!!!!!

Just Remember, Remember.

DU is 1,000 Times Better than the HuffPost or better yet, the FluffPost.
