Rachel Maddow Spanks Joe Scarborough

Posted by Jill Hussein C., Brilliant at Breakfast at 11:14 AM on August 26, 2008.

Watch it Joe, your jealousy of Maddow is starting to show.




Joe Scarborough is already pissing and moaning about the promotion of Rachel Maddow. Oh, he's not using her name, but earlier this morning he was griping that he got only around fifteen seconds of face time during last night's convention coverage, and claimed it was because he ticked off "a certain person."

It's no secret who that "certain person" is, and why he's holding a grudge: http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/96457/rachel_maddow_spanks_joe_scarborough/


Grow the hell up, Joe. You were pwn3d, and you know it.

You were pwn3d by someone you hate, and you hate her not just because she's gay, out and proud; and not just because she's smarter on her worst day than you on your best; and not just because she made you look like a fool on national television and got your goat. You hate her because she got your old timeslot, and because that liberal blowhard Keith Olbermann has the power at MSNBC, not you. And you hate her because you know that your party's ideology is one epic fail, you hitched your wagon to that fail, and now you look like a fool because Rachel Maddow is smarter than most people and effortlessly can rattle off all the ways your so-called "maverick" has proven to be a craven panderer whose lust for the presidency crawls like poison ivy over every fiber of his being.

Even Tweety has resigned himself to the inevitable, and while he'll never be president of the Rachel Maddow Awesomeness Appreciation Society (because I am), even he (along with everyone else on the MSNBC team) at least recognizes her gift with words after she came up with "post-rational" (which I hope becomes the new "truthiness") to describe the PUMA crazies.

So stamp your widdle feet, Joe, and let Mika and Willie and Mike Barnicle kiss your behind on the air for four hours every morning, and bemoan the fact that the mean old feminist lesbian is keeping you off prime time. And keep thinking that this somehow makes you a big man. I'm going to go make another batch of popcorn and watch over the next two weeks as Rachel mops the floor with you.

1. That's not a fair fight

Rachel can turn half her brain off and still run circles around Joey.

[DCKit]

4. You forgot about that one show where she fell asleep....

and still looked like Einstein to his Jerry Lewis.

Just kidding, of course.

[JerseygirlCT]

2. Absolutely!

The old boy doesn't much like this, does he?


Good.

[LSparkle]

3. It wasn't Rachel, it was KEITH who was pissed off!

But, yes, Keith had a GREAT deal to do with Rachel's
promotion, and that's got to just CHAFE Scabrous'
ass.

Hey, Latte Boy, CHANGE IS COMING! The label "former
Rethuglican Congressman" isn't going to be enough
to secure you a job at a major cable network anymore.
The KNOW-NOTHING era of Dumbya is about to end, and
you're not going to be able to coast by on just your
big piehole alone; you're going to have to show some
smarts because the country is TIRED of listening to
STOOOOOOOPID PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!!

(OMG I feel better!)

5. I stopped watching Joe Scarborough months ago.

He is nothing but a pompous ass and so is Mika. The show is unwatchable.

:puke:

[LostInAnomie]

6. I think KO is the "certain person"...

... but it's not because KO is ticked off. It's because KO wouldn't let him get by with shoveling his bullshit.

[Coexist]

7. kick!

[central scrutinizer]

8. Watch out, Rachel, or you will be the next dead "intern"

I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

[Supersedeas]

13. Skankborough has questionable associates too?

[Olney Blue]

9. Rachel smart. Joe not smart.

[hopewell1985]

10. rachel

crushes joe

[orleans]

11. well, now, this morning he pissed off david schuster.

he's just an all-around dickface. why doesn't msnbc do the rest of their employees (and us) a big favor and get the fuck rid of him.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

12. In a battle of wits, Rachel would pound Scarborough into mulch

Can Shitborough, msnbc, and give the time slot to Dan Abrams, who is a decent guy.

[williesgirl]

14. She is a breath of fresh air, long overdue. Joe needs to take a walk and not return. rec'd

[Kurovski]

15. K&R'ed for all-around excellence...

and for Rachel M, who is helping to turn the media around.

It's fun to watch her and Pat B together.

[Heather MC]

16. Joe hate women, but he really hates women who will not sleep with him

Thank God Rachel is soooo smart

[Disturbed]

17. Joe's show turned into Dan's then... Rachel's.

Yeah, he has been replaced by someone who is smarter than he is & it pisses him off.

:toast:

[fascisthunter]

18. How Embarrassing...

[MiniMe]

19. Its so hard for Rachel to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person,

:rofl:
