Scarborough attacks the "Cheetos Brigade" for calling him out
By SilentPatriot Thursday Jul 24, 2008 11:00am
On "Morning Joe," seemingly in response to this C&L post, Joe Scarborough denies he was talking about his colleague Keith Olbermann when he referred to a pundit who "ignorantly" reported on McCain's Anbar gaffe, and then goes on a hysterical little rant about the "Cheetos Brigade" without mentioning who he was talking about.

"I was talking about someone on another network. [...] But again, you know the problem is when you're in the basement and you're blogging and you're eating Cheetos, sometimes the Cheetos dust goes up, ya know, and you get two choices: You can either keep typing, or you can stop for a second and wipe the Cheetos off your chest, clear out your ears and take a closer listen. But they don't do that. And therein lies the problem with the 'Cheetos Brigade.'"
What other cable news host reported on the story Tuesday night that Joe could have been talking about? Was it Andersen Cooper? We'll probably never know because although Joe may not be a keyboard-carrying member of the "Cheeto Brigade," he sure doesn't have the courage to name names.
Maybe Joe can lament about the evil bloggers with Brian Williams at the next DC cocktail party. I can just picture them yukking it up about guys named Vinny with "Cheetos-stained" shirts in their pathetic "efficiency apartments." Maybe our pads would be a little nicer, Joe, if we were handsomely rewarded for being wrong about everything like you are. Then again, I'll take my snack food, modest housing and clean conscience over your mansion and war-cheerleading record any day of the week.
Be back in a minute....my fingers are orange and the bag is empty. [Blue Gal has a Cheetos message for Joe, too]

Joe, whoever told you you could work with men? *says in Al Pacino voice* You child. You hack.
Oh Joe, give it up already! You and your Republican co-horts are toast in November. Good-bye, We hardly knew you! (P.S. you want to attack someone for their bias, go after O'Liely and Limpballs.)
Anybody know Joe's mailing address? We outta send him a few bags of Cheetos. Just to let him know we care.
;-)
They should can him the way they did Imus...
Just how many blogs emanate from basements? Do a lot of people have their computers in basements? Are basements inherently evil?
Better watch it Joe, that sounds like quite an elitist comment to me.
man, why harsh on the Cheetos. Yum!
Joe hates the bloggers because some of them will say the words that must never be spoken......."Lori Klausutis"
She was the young intern that was found dead in Joe's office with a cracked skull after Joe announced his resignation from Congress (just months after getting reelected) amid allegations of marital infidelity.
The media then threw her body down the memory hole.
Scarborough, calm down and put the thorazine drip IV back in your arm. Again, you're just too stupid to work in a job which speaks to the public. The concept of time and logic may escape you, so I'll help you out. The Awakening occurred after The Glorious Surge. Not even your hero Bush has yet figured out how to go back in time to make the Glorious Surge occur before the Awakening.
Sorry we tried to teach you this. Logic is not your best suit. An empty suit seems to be your best suit.
Joe Scarborough - Epic Douche.
Well, I figure these guys are really upset with bloggers for another reason- they hate having someone fact check them. Makes their jobs so much harder, having to be honest and present, or be corrected by, those pesky facts all the time.
Of course, if these idiots did their jobs instead of spouting BS all day, maybe we wouldn't need thousands of bloggers checking and calling them on their inaccuracies.

I was disappointed with Harold Ford for rolling over and not challenging Joe.
Joe is such a little bitch. The heat is directly on these conservative hacks and the one thing they can't handle above all else is being called out for talking right out of their own asses - unless they're regurgitating other websites, in which case they're talking out of other people's asses.
"The blogosphere has no impact and should be ignored!!!'

Buffy had a long talk with Scarborough last week.
He is a very unhappy person. He has had to watch his political faction melt like a Vampire in the sun.
He feels all ookie and stuff.
Now people think he is a Liberal because he has questioned the war.
Buffy lent him a pair of panties and a stake. He said he had his own Santorum.
You know... it's like, "some people say..."
I used to kind of enjoy watching/listening to Joe... I used to think he was somewhat of a moderate. But I can't watch the guy any longer (and haven't for months, now). I think he's been drinking the Kool Aid in his "Morning Joe" mug.
Hey flavor409 @8, not all of us have forgotten his intern but then again i'm not MSM (I don't even have the glory of being part of the Cheeto Brigade). You'd think that some a**hole with literal skeletons in his closet would learn to keep a low profile but I've learned that those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder rarely learn that trick. Remember, they really aren't political pundits, they're entertainers and glory whores.
Agreed..Joe is a talentless hack with no balls as at all, and nothing substantial to say whatsoever.."end ow western civilization as we know it".."locusts will descend upon cbs"...just shut the hell up already. Really.
When he finally did utter keith Olbermann's name, I think he peed his pants a little.
He uses a typical Rove tactic of insults rather then knowledge and wisdom. Btw, I love it when Rachel smacks him down!
I could really go for some Cheetos now.
I quit eating Cheetos when they quit working in my weight-loss program. That was a good 30 years ago.
Scar, you're a cypher. Less than a cypher. And a tiny tiny man with a mind to match.
How does Frito-Lay like having one of their products used as part of a put-down by a mental midget?
awwww poor widdle baby got caught wif his pants down and now he has to blame those who are calling him out of the playground.
Are you a man or a mouse Joe?
Time for morning Joe to retire
There are those of us who prefer pretzels because they cause less of a mess and I have discovered my keyboards are lasting twice as long now since I made the switch.
Louis @ 13:
Harold is disappointing continuously these days.
By the way, Joe Scarborough may want to stop with the psychological projection.
Looking at the people fitting the stereotype Scarborough tries to conjure up, a prominent name comes to mind: Chad Conrad Castagana. The guy who, at 39, was living in his mother's basement, blogging for Free Republic, and sending fake Anthrax to liberals.
So LMGTS (Let Me Get This Straight):
Joe slams an unnamed person (so cowardly), and when someone guesses wrong about his target, he shouts "You're SO stupid!"
What a juvenile attitude.
"What other cable news host reported on the story Tuesday night that Joe could have been talking about? Was it Andersen Cooper?"
Yes, I saw Anderson Cooper report the story the same evening that Olbermann did.
Because media is corporate in this country and anchors, journalists and pundits make too much money, you can never expect an honest self-evaluation from these outlets. They would also have to get over that self-important attitude and realize they don't own the news, they don't own information and they don't own opinion. They're feeling the heat and they're getting nervous. The media makes a huge deal out of every word spoken by the candidates, and make a spectacle whenever a celebrity stumbles. But when they're the ones under the loop, they start whining. These people need to get over themselves.
webegeeks @ 25:
Yes...pretzels are good...burritos...not so much.
I don't even have a basement. It would be difficult to find one down here in south fla.
Yeah, this wingnut is the "darling of the left" according to the NYT.
Is he still looking for the real killers?
Ol' two faced Joe. He's capable of spewing GOP talking point rhetoric when addressing Republicans, and adroit at faking rationality when speaking to Liberals and Libertarians.
Reminds me of a quote:
"The word politics is derived from the word 'poly', meaning 'many', and the word 'ticks', meaning 'blood sucking parasites'."
I promise I won't make any jokes about the coincidence of my favorite blogging snack food and my orange John Thomas.
Oops...
webegeeks @ 25:
Hey, if you prefer Cheetos to pretzels, they have those plastic keyboard protectors-like pocket protectors for your keyboard...No Cheeto dust filled geek cave should be without two or three...one for each keyboard!
Scarborough is a man who sees his future, his own mortality.
The television crowd is a dying breed. Every year more and more are pushing up daisies. (Well, the ones who might watch this clown, at least.) He knows that his time of getting paid multi-millions for lying to the public are numbered. Most young people get their 411 from the Internets. Many boomers do, too. Joe's primary audience is the rotary dial crowd, you know, McCain's generation - we all remember the advent of television, don't we?
Go ahead and hate us bloggers, Joe. As long as you see your own mortality, you lying sack of shit, I'll even eat a bag of Cheetos (baked to a delicate crunch, please), just for you.
Chomp, chomp!
I don't know which was worse, the former black congressman
saying "yes SIR", "yes SIR" as in yes massa to Killer Joe or Joe's screwing up
the awakening/surge time line. Killer Joe talking down to the
women on the show who are teemed with him so he will look good,
Killer Joe talking down to a black congressman.
Maybe he should show up drunk on air like he did during the last election.
How the hell does he get away with it?
i admit... i caught this slow trainwreck this morning. when i feed my little puppy i turn the tube on, and *zoiks* the tv was turned to msnbc.
and i think willie hit the nail on the head: joe takes the blog criticisms personally.
which is great. knowing that a compromised, paleocon with some suspicious skeletons in his closet (see, old congressional office) gets offended by blog comments is encouraging.
squintborough is desperate to try to inject himself into the upper eschelons of the news whore line-up. too bad no one takes him seriously. squinty is more like that annoying kid on the school bus who thinks that making fart noises (see, parroting corporatist BS) will make him popular. not. working.
Better a basement than an office with a dead intern. Better Cheetos than a dead....ugh.
Che's Lounge @ 28:
Thing is-It WASN'T the wrong target-he's just a liar. The shouting gives it away.
Shorter Joe Scarborough:
"Shut up, you ignorant peasant! I'm a former Congressman! I get paid more than you'll ever see in your lifetime! Bow down and worship me like the media god I am!"
Clearly, Joe could benefit by getting off the caffeine for a few days ...
"Cheetos Brigade" is Joe's derogatory codeword for the pot smoking junk food eating youth on blogs.
Its nice to know he is thinking about me. This toke and snack is dedicated to you Joe. Only it's not Cheetos my asshat friend, its granola with fresh strawberries and organic yogurt.
It's long past time for this guy to go the way of Tucker Carlson.
C-span is real entertaining this morning hope C&l gets some of it up...
Scarborough is a total wad. I honestly don't know how he presumes to criticize anyone. If he had any other occupation than talking stooge for the MSM, he would be out of work and trying to mooch some cheetos from someone.
Think about is a second. What other gig could you have and totally suck at it 90% of the time, and still keep getting paid?
From the war in Iraq to the democratic primary, this obstreperous toad has been wrong on the issues. He should be grateful that MSNBC needs some vapid right winger with a pulse to at least make a show of trying to balance out Olbermann, or he would be asking people if they want fries with this order.
Oh, and the contrast between this pedestrian nitwit with an authentic intellect like Olbermann? You've got to be kidding. Scarborough's monosyllabic grunting compared to the lucid, thoughtful, articulate content from Olbermann is like comparing the Boston Celtics to a middle school boys team in Gopher's Anus, Alabama.
And one more thing ... the lame-assed attempts at humorous cross-talk with Mikka. How lame can you get. She is reasonably bright and even charming sometimes, but Scarborough is like a fart in church. He just doesn't belong on that stage. He belongs in a bowling alley somewhere holding court with a bunch of right wing trousered simians, explaining why they are right and noble to hate everything.
What a total wad.
I am a proud, lifetime member of the Orange Fingers party.
Joe Scarborough, you're fucking with the all-powerful Frito Lay company. Don't be too surprised if from now on your chips are all a little stale, not quite enough salt, etc. Nobody wants that, Joe. Apologize before it's too late!
MsJoanne @ 36:
OOOH! Nailed it!
Joe sounds worried. He's not used to accountability.
Joe Scarborough reminds me of a saying they have in France - "the guy farts higher than his asshole."
I would eat Joe's face like a wolf, long before I would eat a cheese MSG stick.
Joe Scarborough: 2008 Beady-eyed champion of the world!
CONGRATS JOE!
You can just sense the rage and latent violence that boils just beneath those dead narrow eyes in Joe Scar. He really can't handle Rachel Maddow. He may one day have a "We'll Do it Live!" Bill O'Leilly moment. Oh, I almost forgot -- google Scarborough's name and the term dead intern if you don't already know that story.
.
Please cover the House Judiciary Committee Hearing on the Limits of Executive Power.
The future of the Republic is at stake.
.
Once again, MSNBC should can the Scar and get Rachel her own show ASAP!
The implication of this is pretty weird. If you really follow the thought to its completion, Scarborough isn't cool with anyone that's not on TV putting their opinions out there... whether it's a blog or not.

[Back on topic. I'll delete anything else about this in this thread-Sitemonitor]
Hey Joe! That's something we say about the conservatives, not vice-versa. Your guys have the Cheetos and the Dungeons & Dragons online video games, our guys have the day jobs as scientists (more or less).
For a sum-up of my long-time view on the WH's Iran policy, check out my blog today.
[Don't blogwhore outside an open thread. It's not polite-Sitemonitor]
Morning Joe, the biggest bag of BS on the air. Pretends to be middle of the road when in fact he is most obviously a right wing hack. When are these morons on the far right going to come to terms with the correct definition of "mainstream" and "center" as it exists in our country today? Poll after poll indicates a progressive majority and still they insist that their positions are what American believes. Enjoy it while it lasts Joe. It wont be long now.

Hey...are you dissin' D&D?
well gimme another thread... joe scarborogh sucks...
[If our threads aren't to your liking, you know what you can do-Sitemonitor]
I can never figure out how a no personality, no brains, pathetically boring hack like Scarborough was ever given a job. Oh I forgot, he's another Irish/Catholic boy at NBC. Yes, as someone mentioned above, this D.C. cocktail circuit crowd must talk a whole lot about bloggers, because it's clear the MSM just hates the internet. If he wasn't talking about Olbermann, then who exactly was he talking about? Of course he was talking about Keith. All of those fake reporters/personalities at NBC/MSNBC can barely hide their distain for Keith's success. Everyone from Brokaw on down the food chain hates Keith. They can't handle the truth...in the D.C. cocktail circuit crowd.
P.S.
Joe, some of us crazy bloggers actually live in reasonably nice homes and actually make real money or made real money doing something else, though we care enough about our country to blog.
I've lost any modicum of respect I had for this guy a few year when he abandoned any real pretense at journalism and became MSNBC's resident right wing hack.
Republican=scumbag liar
Is this news to anyone?

No doubt, can't wait until the public finally wakes up about the food they put in their bodies. Monsanto and MSG = Crime against humanity
If 'Morning Joe' is reading this blog right now, I only want to say, JOE, I THINK YOU'RE A HUGE DOUCHEBAG!
BTW...any more dead chicks laying around the floor of your office these days???
Cheetos. Cheetos? Cheetos!
Thanks Joe! You just showed how a talking head descends into comic bathos.
If you knew anything about blogs, you would know that the "Cheetos Brigade" are made up of bloggers associated with National Review's, The Corner for nearly 5 years now.
Now Joe, who was that intern that was found scragged, err I mean dead in your Congressional Office?
Monie Hussein @ 33:
It amazes me how disconnected the MSM is from reality. The talk from their Broders about "the common man I met in my neighborhood on a weekend back at home" or "the Gate 11 people I met at the airport".
Yes, the Orange Underground!
Now just imagine this guy is Joe,
and he can only breathe through his nose.

What!!! Don't you realize Harold Ford is a disappointment to begin with? He was the only Democrat I'm glad lost his bid for the Senate in '06! He thought if he jumped on the right-wing GAYS, GUNS & JESUS bandwagon, he'd win. Sorry, but I guess them good ole boys don't hold them uppity African American folks in much higher esteem than they do 'deh gays!'
Sorry Joe, you cant use Cheetohs. It is proprietary to the left for describing the diet of pear-shaped morons like Pantload and K-Lo. I know it's tough, but think up your own stuff jackass.
Wasn't this the same guy that was herald as some sort of hero for the Left... and he lashes out against the "Cheetos Brigade"?
The damned fool.
I eat my cheetos straight from the bag so that I don't have touch them... and just keep typing.

I notice that intern murderer Joe, Lou Dobbs, even that shit hole O'Reilly, claim to be centrists or independents, yet when one listens to their right wing bullshit it's obvious that they are liars.
Joe is under a lot of stress. Apparently he has a interest-only loan on his mansion, and can't sleep because of worrying about going bankrupt. He's said so on Morning Joe a couple of times.
So dumb he believes his own propaganda.

haven't had cheetos in years but i want me some now
displaced @ 73:
Whatever mommy is cooking for din-din...
Joe was eating a bag of Cheetos while listening to one of W's speeches and panicked when he noticed afterwards that his genetalia had turned orange.
Criticizing a newsperson for reporting the news is an odd way for someone who has the same job to behave. Maybe Joe doesn't fully understand his job description?
Couldn't watch it. The guy's a total idiot.
Hey fellow cheetos eaters,
I find it's better to eat them with chopstick! THen, not everything becomes orange!
SilentPatriot - now THAT'S SATIRE.
It has been a great week for cheese.
S'matter with Cheetos???
I like Cheetos.
They're better than the pork rinds this guy probably eats.
I switched to fritos.
Dear Frito Lay,
I used to enjoy eating your products in my basement but Joe Scarborough made fun of me so I'm afraid I'll have to stop.
yours truly, former Cheeto Eater
What a putz.
Did anyone hear him say how republicans would attack Obama in the fall, "truth be damned"?
I ASKED MY DOCTOR WHY MY JUNK ARE ALL ORANGE...
he said wash my hands more often OR stop eating cheetos while watching the Joe Scarborough show...
Someone (not me, I'm not blogwhoring, honest) at TPMM did a great blog post on Scarborough. Here is a little of it, but this shows what a total douche ol' Joe is:
Sheer politics, eh? You mean HORSERACE? Good lord, let's not discuss any ISSUES. Let's not delve into anything which is not monosyllabic. Let's not actually disseminate any real information.
Joe, you total piece of shit...may you not RIP. Someone tell me that MSNBC is in the bag for Obama. Bullshit!
joe, joe, joe...tsk, tsk, tsk...
a blogger would have had the guts (cheetos filled)to name the colleague referred to in your segment as you chose not to do. it seems you so called main stream media types that are self touting as being oh so superior have as of yet to advance past swilling cheesy poofs i see.
Everyone knows that bloggers love Doritos, not Cheetos.
And does that make the media anchors the "OxyContin" brigade (or whatever drugs they pop)
miss_kitty @ 40:
More than likely.
Those beady eyes and slash of a mouth in a sea of white pudge indicates a serious lack of character. I'll take Good Old American cheeto-dust over his eau-de foie-gras and Lysterine breath any day. Even worse - those chuckling sycophants. There's something eerie and unsettling about their tendency to agree in monotoned unison. Ick.
Who is that man with the long thin head?
Hey Scar-bore, your pretend news coverage has NEVER impressed me. I've never gone in for lame news commentary, let alone lame news commentary spouting from a failed fill-in sports caster who forgets what he's talking about because he's so infatuated hearing the sound of his own voice!
You leave a bad taste in my ears. Kinda like a dog who's just licked his balls.
Grow up or Just Go AWAY.
This is proof that Scarborough has a loud mouth which he cannot back up later on.He knows he may have made some enemies with his comments and that is why he is pulling back now. There's a true GOP yellow streak running down his back.
Hey…are you dissin’ D&D?
I meant to add "...not that there's anything wrong with that."
Sitemonitor, since when is it impolite to put a link to my site in my comment? Sounds anti-democratic to me.
[Really? A privately owned website is not a democracy. John Amato doesn't like it. I was being nice in leaving it up. I guess being nice gets me snotted at too-Sitemonitor]

Joe Scarborough is an elitist pig. A pompous, droll, ignoramous, a popinjay. God, I truly hate him. I never, ever watch him. Like Bush, I cannot even stand to hear his voice or see his smug face.
Re "Cheetos Brigade", that aptly describes much of the corporate media (witness their Iraq War cheerleading). Folks in glass houses ought not throw stones ...
I'm so tired of bullies like Scarborough who turn into crybabies when they're called out. Stand up! Take it like man, Joe. Hey, did you get my email calling you out for bullying Rachel when you filled in for David Gregory recently? Any remorse? I didn't think so.
Y'know who doesn't eat Cheetos anymore?
Joe's dead intern.
Come over Joe and we will have Cheetos and Diet Pepsi. Then we can read the Constitution and hash out this thing about free speech!
flavor409 @ 8:
I think she was an aide to the Congressman, not an intern. She was a paid member of his staff. She had been a Treasurer for the county Republican Party. She was big in local politics.
And yet her obituary never mentioned any of that. Imagine - someone so involved in their local party, and a Congressional aide, and none of that is even mentioned in her obit.
The medical examiner admitted to lying about her cause of death, as did the police. They lied, according to their own statments, to spare Joe Scarborough any negative press.
This happened while the entire national MSM was lynching Gary Condit for what he did not do to the then missing Chandra Levy.
Condit got crucified by the media, Morning Joe had the media's help in covering up, not a missing person, but an actual dead body in his office.
The morning her body was found, Joe told anyone who would listen that Ms. Klausutis, a marathon runner, had seizures and medical problems. Then he suddenly shut up and it was never mentioned her again.
The Medical Examiner, who had left his previous job under a cloud of charges of incompetence, was a Jeb Bush political appointee who Jeb later fired for...incompetence. He declared that Lori Klausutis had died from natural causes. that she had passed out, hit her head on the corner of a desk, and immediately died from the skull fracture that the desk caused.
That's one hell of a desk. In fact, it's a damn near magic desk, because she sustained a skull fracture so severe that she had a hemorrage on the opposite side of her skull form the
fracture, something that only happens when a blow is severe enough to cause a rebound injury.
Think about what kind of force it would take to hit a skull hard enough to not only cause a fracture that dents the skull, as her's did, but to also cause the opposite side of the head to hemorrage.
Now think about someone standing next to a desk, passing out and dropping to the floor, hitting the desk on the way down. How likely is it the collapse of a small woman would have enough force in it to cause a skull fracture that depresses the bone and causes a rebound injury on the other side of the head?
And, just to round out the obscene ludicrousness of their whole scenario, her body was found five feet away from the desk.
The only way it could have happened as the police and Medical Examiner said, is if she was running full speed at the desk and hit that desk just right to cause such massive injuries and to then bounce away from the desk and land, dead, a good five feet away.
Like I said, it's a magic desk that Morning Joe had in that office of his.
Within 24 hrs of her death, even her college photos had been removed from her university website. The national press stayed on the missing Chandra Levy/Gary Condit scandal, and Lori Klausutis just disappeared.
Right around then, right before Lori Klausutis died, Scarborough had suddenly quit the Congressional seat he had just won to, "spend more time with his family". He immediately left his family and the state of Florida and moved to New York, where the Main Stream Media that had ignored Lori Klausutis took him in and made him rich and famous.
I can't stand to even watch Scarborough. I have no idea if he did anything to cause Lori Klausutis' death, but he knew her, she worked to help his political life succeed, and when she died mysteriously in his office, all he did was try as hard and as fast as he could to cover his own ass.
When he could have been a stand-up man, instead he showed himself for the weasel he is.
If it wasn't an attack on Olbermann, I seriously don't know who he was talking about then.
Even if Joe's intention was to attack someone else on another network, he still said it in such a way that grouped Olbermann's report in with his criticism even if not by name. I mean, if Joe feels as he does, he can't be hard on Anderson Cooper and give Keith Olbermann a pass just because he's on the same network. Anyway, I gotta get back to my Cheetos now....
Look kids, a talking dildo!
MsJoanne @ 95:
Here's the thing. When one persons campaign starts going after the media for being too nice to the other guy, first, the media stares at their own navel on air for a while, then, those who make decisions instruct some of their people to push the other way. This is done purely as a public relations decision regardless of the merits of the accusation. So then all of a sudden you have CBS re-editing McCain's statement to cover for him and Joe "Scareborough" going the extra mile to be condescending to Democrats. There, now the media is balanced again. . . . see how that works?
This is the price of deregulating fairness in the media.
Every time a Republican talks about the "liberal media" or the "bias" I remind them that this is the free market they asked for. We once had a "fairness doctrine" regulation that forced the news to be fair and unbiased but then they all whined that they couldn't be bias if the market demanded it. So Reagan killed the safeguards of fairness and not long after we got Rush Windbag and Faux News. According to their logic, these are both obviously the most unbiased sources of truth because they are popular. The free market, in their minds, states that the most popular source is the most fair.. . period
So the only point that ever needs to be made is: "if you don't want media bias, bring back the regulation that worked to prevent it legally." I don't think it is any coincidence that Republicans killed fairness in the media and then started shouting in unison that the media is biased and needs pushback from more "Fair and Balanced" sources. This should go down in history as one of the greatest intellectual heists that has been pulled on a "first world" population since Germany in the 30's.

Man, you said a mouthful. It's too wierd watching them all sucking up to such an oblivious blowhard. And he does have a mean streak. It's like the family of an abusive drunk, all having a good time because, for a change, daddy's in a good mood today. But right under the surface, everybody's watching for whatever could throw daddy into a rage.
It's a right-wing dysfuntional family. No wonder Republicans like him - it's like looking at themselves and saying, "damn, I don't look so bad after all".
Check out the relationship between Joey and a certain female producer.
Mighty interesting stuff.
Ah, you gotta love journalistic integrity - if you criticize me I'll make sad attempts at making fun of you. Good job douchebag.

Thanks, I feel for her family, too. When Joe started spreading that she was in bad health, her family talked to the media briefly and said that was not true. She was very athletic and into long distance running. Then they suddenly quit talking and wouldn't say anything after that. She was cremated, so that took care of that, didm't it?
Her husband worked at a classified military facility at that time, I think at Eglin AF base in the Panhandle. I never saw anything at all from him.
The whole thing stinks like a Banana Republic with a deoderant shortage, which pretty much describes Florida under Jeb Bush. Someday, maybe someone will put together all the mysterious deaths that have happened around Republicans during this era - cause there have been more than a few.
These are not good people.
It's always amusing watching the mainstream media become ever more obsolete trying to attack the new kids on the block, the bloggers who get much more accurate information out to the world and do it far quicker than the mainstream media does -- without the treason or war crimes baggage that the mainstream carries.
These obsoleuet Christian traitors are a thing of the past. They know it. They're dieing out and the Intertubes are taking over.
And the other spineless enablers sit there and chuck it up. What a pathetic crew. May as well be watching the two geeks and blond bimbo on the propaganda network if you are going to be entertained by this asshole and his pets.

They Cylons truly have evolved and can imitate humans pretty good, huh?
As I was leaving for work this morning (7 am EST) and turning off the teevee he said something along the lines of, "When we come back we'll see what the Cheetos Brigade have been up to." Something like that and I thought, "Well, hopefully he won't put any more pics in my minds eye and won't have those pesty right wing nuts in their basement eating cheetos in their underwear again like he did yesterday."
Joe, that just wasn't right man.
Exactly what did Scarborough say the other night that anyone, blogger or yappy pundit alike, could take as evidence that he wasn't taking a dig at Olbermann? Just saying today that he was referring to someone at another network, without citing a damn thing to support that claim, is pretty weak.
Sounds like Old Joe is using an attack on blogs as cover to put his d*ck between his legs before it gets cut off by management...
They're petrified by Obama's growing power and they're pissed and petrified about the growing power of the progressive "Cheeto Brigade," sometimes known as the ones who got IT right. I seem to recall Brian Williams' disparaging remarks about having to compete with a guy living in a New York efficiency who hadn't been anywhere in three years, or something like that. They're pissed because their turf isn't as safe and sacred as it used to be, and they're fast losing their priestly status.
After discovering the vibrant political dialogue on the internet I stopped watching television news. Aside from Obermann and one or two others, tv news is mostly high school horseshit that I outgrew years ago. The senior superlatives are distraught! They're being left behind, and it's their own damn fault for betraying their Fourth Estate duties and responsibilities.
IGNORE JOE SCARBOROUGH AND HE WILL CEASE TO EXIST. all he wants is attention. don't feed that troll.
i agreed that the whole story that "the lefty blogs love Joe Scarborough" needed correcting. but other than that, Joe Scarborough is 100% irrelevant, and doesn't really exist unless you look at him.
don't look at him, don't talk about him, and he will fade away back into nothingness where he belongs.

péter plus haut que son cul = to think too highly of oneself; literally, to fart higher than one's ass.
Often used to refer to politicians...
joe would like to have cheetos, but how can you eat
them with brown fingers having scratched his a$$hole.
all the cheetos dust is imbedded in a brown swirl.
I prefer those little mustardy pretzel bites myself. Deeee-lish with a cold bottle of beer and a ballgame. When I'm not sitting in my parent's basement spewing out left wing bile and hate over the intraweb, that is...
C&L, General Clark was on Morning Hoe the other day and he totally shot down Joe's fals claims about the surge. Number one the purpose of the surge to allow for political reconciliation so naturally more troops were sent to Baghdad. Number two, as stated here six ways from Sunday, the "Anbar awakening" started many months before the surge was even talked about.
Also, Scar has been saying repeatedly that Chuck Schumer's letter is the reason that Indymac failed. Erin Burnett knocked that out of the window this week too. He was in rare form this week. His most heinous comments are usually in the last hour.
You've gotta post these clips.
Ooo no, the dickhead's actually reading his bad press on the blogs.
My understanding is that CBS took an answer to a different question and replaced McCain's actual answer with it. CBS was not simply using a shortened, edited version of the answer McCain actually gave. Big difference.
Problem is when you’re in the office and you’re washed up, through, cause you fouled the nest, if you get my drift, and you’re eating what's sure to be your last fur pie, and you get two choices: You can either keep chomping, or you can stop for a second and bash her face down on the desk until her head goes flat and her brains squeeze out her ears. Therein lies the problem.
not a fan of Cheetos. I'm more of a Pirate's Booty fan.

Thanks for filling me in.
I's hard to find the details of this story. It's almost like there's been an attempt to erase this woman's death (murder?) and existence from memory.
I had seen this beady-eyed weasel on tv for years before I ever heard anything about this incident. I first heard the name Lori Klausutis on a site like this and googled it.
I don't recall EVER hearing it spoken in the corporate media.
Maybe that's why Joe hates sites like this.
Useless pieces of shit like Scarborough couldn't recoginize the working people of this country that keep the nation going if his worthless life depended on it. Why does a scum bag like that make millions doing absolutely nothing worthwhile while us working people get shit and shit on from the scum that let scum like him on the air. The FCC needs to get their shit together and get douchbags like the scar off from our airwaves!
He and Glenn Beck really belong on Fox. Olbermann should call him out, cause O definitely reported on this latest McKissass faux paux.
Maybe we can get some shirts/bumper stickers/car magnets made up - "Proud Member of the Cheetos Brigade."
I agree with a poster above. We should all send Joe a bag of Cheetos.
