Oh, and Frist!

Rachel's the best. Joe's, well....a putz.

Silly SilentPatriot, Republicans don't have feelings.

you can tell it frustrates him to me outsmarted by...gasp...a girl!

Joe is not used to talk to people who are smarter than him

joe is just like billo, he makes his opinion heard
and then just cuts off any descent...period

these two BOYS have never grown up except for their
immature egos which are as large as their balls hang down.

Baby joey is a pussy. No wonder he isn't in Congress anymore - he probably didn't like the fact that +/- half of the people he spent time with most days (Democrats) thought he was an asshole.

Well joey, you ARE an asshole - a rude one at that!

nirak @ 10:

Joe is not used to talk to people who are smarter than him

What? Everyone is smarter than him, well sep W!

Joe is used to cutting women off, or being condescending- He does it all the time in the am ( on HIS OWN show) to Mika....But Rachel is so smart and well spoken, and she knows the issues. Joe sounded like he was being paid to an ad for McShame ...EVERY scandel/ Questionable relationship that Mcshame has been within spitting distance ( the fella in Florida, also one of the people on his committtee in AZ, Hagee, the MISSING Medical Records etc etc) The MSM gives a BIG pass to him....and it is Journalistically pathetic...and dangerous in the end...( and that is not about "Crossfire", that is about Fair Honest Reporting - which we have not seen in years..) Joe wants to act like an arrogant Frat Boy- he should head over to FOX- he and George Stephonoplis could have a show together...

Personally I wish that MSNBC would give Rachel a show...she did Countdown last Friday and did great...

ha! i hadn't seen this... rachel talked about it on today's show...
she said she didn't hear what he had to say because her producer was talking in her earpiece... she didn't know he'd left... today she said something like, "i hear he walked out"... she didn't know why and she wasn't sure what to do about it, but seemed to think that she SHOULD do something...

ferrofluid @ 13:

somebody tell Rachel to avoid going near any tables

LMAO

Awwww! poor wittle scar.

Gregory and co. didn't like it when Rachel brought up McCain's former Florida campaign co-chair and buddy Bob Allen arrested for attempted butt burglary.

lol He walked? out too funny was he crying like a little girl " I HATE YOU RACHEL I HATE YOU !!!!!" lol!!

joe - "um-mmm yea... ... i don't wanna be condescending..." but i just am.

what a beady-eyed blinking chump... waaay too big a head.

What do you expect from a "pundit" who uses the term "we" when refering to Republicans ? Again, fuck you Joe, and the media you rode in on .

She always kicks his ass and it's beautiful.

September 1, 2001 (APJP) -- Over at The American Prospect's message board thread concerning this very article, Phoenix Woman has asked a trolling Scarborough "defender" three pivotal questions. We'd love to know the answers ourselves:

1) If Lori's death was just a simple accident, then why did Rep. Scarborough and his spokesman Miguel Serrano feel the need to go to two different local TV stations within three hours of her body's being found and invent a nonexistent history of chronic medical conditions for
her -- in other words, why did they feel the need to lie about Lori's health?

2) Would you trust without question the word of a Medical Examiner who lost his ME license in two separate states (Missouri and Florida) because he LIED about his autopsy work (for instance, saying he had autopsied some brains when he hadn't)?

3) Why should whoever wrote Ms. Klausutis's obituary feel it was appropriate to mention nearly everything about her life -- EXCEPT where she'd been working since 1999?

http://www.apj.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=72

Joe is such a putz! As if having run for political office means that no one else in the body politic can determine when issues being discussed about one candidate and not the other is nonsensical or hypocritical.

Go Rachel, go!!

A reich-winger having a hissy fit!?!?! No waaaaay!

beer and hash sound good to me.

Hey Rachel PLEASE take this as a compliment, I loved watching good ole boy Scarborough get bitch slapped.
Rachel you're the best!

Go Rachel, you go girl!

I saw the show and wondered what happened to Joe. This show has to be pre-recorded or else Rachel's Air America show is not live as they both start at the same time. Which one is taped? Does anyone know?

OMG, I just saw a commercial with Rep. Pelosi and Newt Gingrich sitting on couch pretending to like each other and care about the environment. I almost puked.

Uh, Crossfire has been off the air for several years now...somebody better tell Joe.

It is important to counter Gingrich's nonsense with a large dose of reality: the drug war is lost and nobody won. Gingrich and company have had thirty years to test their hard line policies and each has failed: well over ten million Americans have been arrested and had their lives ruined in this war. It is time for a new approach, but this takes the kind of leadership that simply does not exist in Congress. Elected officials today have not made a study of the past and they are, emphatically, not statesmen. H.R. 41 is an ill-conceived, terrible law that is exemplary of the kind of prostitution that has replaced common sense and statesman-like solutions.

he can't help it. he's a pussy.

I'm posting this Before I read The Comments. But how F-ing condesending can a man's voice be than Joe's ? If i were Rachel ,I'd envite Joe out for a beer and slowly pour one over His lap in full view of the barcrowd.

Only in Florida and only to a Republican :)

look at that. that's why l love rachel maddow. good for her. she's happy and strong.

what happens here? she does what men do allll the time to each other and to women on tv but let a woman do it to him, and the poor widdle fella gets his feelinz destroyed. and leaves. please!!! he tried to friggin interrupt, she didnt let him! wtf? and he storms off? now imagine that the other way? exactly. and behold the gross imbalance of values. tweety demonstrates it more blatantly, and so does scaroborough betray the same lean in his own way.

rollotomasi @ 74:

Rachel Maddow is aces, but the subtler message at work here is that McCain is the old warhorse insider that we all know and trust, and Obama is the unknown outsider about whom we can't be too sure. That was the water Scarborough was carrying for the Republicans and we will be hearing this politics-of-personality issue from now until November.

'Politics of personality? You mean 'hide yer wayt goils the n.......r takin over?

abob @ 63:

Joe doesn't know how to handle women. Or more accurately, a woman who looks like a man.

You are so right. Joe doesn't know how to handle himself.

I saw that little dust up when it happened. You could tell immediately that Joe was pissed off, he always is when Maddow gets the best of him. This isn't the first time, either. He has done this before. He does not like Maddow, she is smarter than he is and generally always gets her message across without shouting or cutting people off. I can't figure out if it is just Maddow or all smart females that piss off Joe. Whatever, I would take the word of Maddow over anything Joe has to say. BTW David Gregory wasn't much help, he didn't quite know what to do. I am betting this is last time you see diva Joe and Maddow together.

Well, what does Joe know about it? Nobodies asked him that question. It's as relevant, if not more so, than Obama's having met Ayers.

Rachael should be barefoot and pregnant, not having an opinion and by all means not challenging a conservative, white, heterosexual male. No wonder Joe cut and ran.

It seems, uncomfortable questions are only relevant if it happens to be a Democrat, Republicans get a free pass and triple digit salaries.

geeezz ruthy We agree on something!

Unfortunately, just like that other hack who walked off, he'll be back.

You mean Bob "PlameGate" Novakula who threw a hissy fit and stormed off the CNN set when Carville told him that he was only trying to look tough for the WSJ editorial page?

no actually I was talkin 'bout the other fox news hack, but maybe, if we're lucky, this will become a trend.

Not only did McCain's spokesman solicit a cop for oral sex, he blamed it on his fear of black people. As weak as his rationalization was, the Corporate Media is willfully oblivious to it because he is a Republican. If such an event had happened to the Clinton or Obama campaign, we'd never hear the end of it.

Oh that highbrow Barack.

Please go to the tape of Obama's rally in Raliegh NC today where he flips the bird to Hillary Clinton . Talking about the debate - Hillary is in her element - middle finger to the face scratch.

I taught school for 35 years. Make no mistake - I know when some wiseass is giving the finger.

Check it out.

DESPICABLE. I'd have called that weasel's parents by now.....just to show that Barack is still in high school mentality....

Don't even bother saying your going to have a "beer" with him. These gop mouthpieces are not out friends. They're in it to win through lies, distortions and distractions.

Everytime a democratic pundit does what Rachel did, all they should say afterward is "Next!"

Joe tried to do Rachel the same way he does Mika every morning. Step on her sentences, not let her finish her sentences, talk down to her, and be sarcastic. It is so bad, I had to quit watching the show and now watch CNN. Rachel did not let him get by with it and that drives him crazy. Hopefully, that was the last time we see Joe on this Race to the Whitehouse Show. Too bad, MSNBC can't get a replacement for him in the morning.

Well, Rachel was smart and yet calm enough to make the Scar lose it. The scarred veteran hack taken to task by the newcomer. She is definitely improving.

The last two times I saw this same show I was starting to think there was some tension between the two of them. Maybe Rachel scares a lot of people. To me she represents the possibility that we really might be able to change for the better in the USA. So I like to listen to her.

Karen @ 106:

Joe: I don't do Crossfire.

Rachel: Uh....you cut me off.

Joe: Precisely. I don't do Crossfire. I'm not comfortable unless I'm the only one doing the firing.

Rachel: Uh, Joe---

Joe: Look, if you want a Crossfire debate, go somewhere else. If you want to be on this show, just sit there and be our token silent liberal.

I love Cindy,but you have to look at just what Pelosi is doing.She`s helping the Dems get back the real process of government.She doesn`t want to play the little nasty games the Rethugs do.She is trying to stop the partisan bs and get on with the business of governing that has disappeared during the Bush gang years.I think she`s a damn good Speaker.Not perfect,but 10000000000000 times better than any Rethug.

Well, let's see what the facts suggest.

Did Scarborough interrupt Rachel? Yup.

Did she call him on it so that she could finish her point? Yup.

Was she rude? Not in my estimation. Since she was the one being interrupted, I thought she was pretty tactful about it.

So what the hell is Scarborough grousing about? Jeez, what a thin-skinned, rude guy. I've yet to see Rachel conduct herself with anything other than class.

Diva Joe does not take kindly to have his words or thoughts interrupted by a female, especially a smart female.

It really sucks to be cut off before you say anything.I`m glad that Rachel knocked Joe down to size.We need more like her.

I am soooo proud of you Rachel. You are what the Fourth Branch professes to be, by the long gone ideals of a watchdog media that is now too brown nosed to know that what they smell could be ribs or shit.... but please enjoy, SUCKERS. Then get out of the way.

I'm sorry. was I talking to You?

Thing is, Scar is a show host on MSNBC, Rachel is just an itinerant talking head. Every time I see them on together, I get this palpable sense that he really, really doesn't like her. Worries me that what he's doing here is picking a fight so he can get her off the show. Show is pretty goddawful, but I'm hoping the regular exposure for Rachel gets her a show of her own at some point.

andy @ 129:

The democratic party has clearly been hijacked by the extreme leftwing. For left-leaning independents, this is very frustrating. The extreme righwing nuts of the Republican party took control of the party and they gave us George W. Bush. The democratic party is in danger of repeating the same mistake---not electing the most capable person into the white house. Our country needs Clinton NOW. There is no time for the empty "hope" talks. In Wednesday debate, it was obvious that while Hillary has provided detailed and substantive proposals, Obama spent most of his time describing this country's problems that we already know. He provided little insight on the solutions to these problems. Obama, I am afraid, is quite hollow in terms of his plan to lead this country to a better future. We need to alarm the democratic party that many independent voters could turn to McCain if Obama is nominated. I think this scenario is quite real and it has not been talked about enough in the main stream media. Take a look. http://ivotemccainifobamaisnominated.blogspot.com/ (I vote for McCain if Obama is nominated)

I totally disagree.Nothing changes until it becomes real.Obama has made most of the problems facing us real by talking about them.Hillary`s still ducking them.They`re both off the mark on Iraq and single payer health care.Eirher would make a better president than McCain.

It would be funny if Obama won PA to prove Joe's prediction wrong. Then he will look like a total ASS (rather than half-assed) when the clip is replayed next month.

Get a grip Joe, give Rachel the chance to trump your Political Science 101 lecture if she's able to.

I love the fact that every time that Joe gets faced by anyone he pulls out the "don't mean to be condecending" line. Actually, DICK, you are trying to be condecending! The thing is you are to much of a wingnut idiot to have a platform to speak down to anybody. Each of your congressional runs was a joke of a contest. You are a joke of a lawyer and you decided to resign from office to "spend more time with your family" when a young aide mysteriously dies in your office? If you ever ran for office again that is how your opponent would define you! You are a loser and you will always be. Typical blowhard bully that pouts and cries when any one calls them out. Loser!

Shows how much you know. Some of us (like me!!) love strong, assertive women. I'm as straight as they come but I don't find the silicon inflated barbis like Ms. Anderson at all attractive while I adore the tom boy types like Rachel!

Two dittos

What does "I'll do her" mean? Most men don't have a problem doing most women, so it's not a compliment to me. It sounds as if one would hit her head with a club and drag her to one's lair and do ugly things.
