Will Joe Scarborough Finally Drop The "Latte Sipping Liberal" Garbage Now?
By Logan Murphy Friday Aug 22, 2008 1:00pmGOP hack Joe Scarborough hasn't been on the air for nearly two weeks thanks to the Olympics and a lot has happened in that time. He and the Morning Joe crew will have a lot of ground to cover when they return to the airwaves, but unfortunately for Joe, one of his favorite wingnut memes has been blown to smithereens while he was away -- the stereotypical, elitist, latte sipping liberals.
Now that we've learned from the LA Times that John McCain ditched reporters and dragged a 9 car motorcade to Starbucks to snag a large cappuccino on Friday, I think it's time for Joe to let it go. Hell, McCain was probably wearing his $500 Italian loafers at the time (I bet he has more than one pair) and probably had a hard time deciding which home to return to.
It's time to give it up, Joe. I think we all know who the real latte-sipping elitist is now.

HEY
There is a difference between a cappuccino and a latte
They say "Latte Sipping Liberal" like it's a bad thing.
Not gonna happen.
The next trope will be about how it's not about the money, or what the candidates actual personal habits are, but how they "come across" to the voters.
And if it's not that it'll be some other crap. These are the same people (like Maureen Dowd) who actually seriously suggested that voters make their choice in the next presidential election based on which candidate can lie most convincingly about his preferences in snack food.
scarborough is scum, lies all the time, like hannity and limbaugh....
only reason he has ratings (if he does) is his hot co-host....
proprietors should start putting up signs on their door (republican money not welcome)
i'm gonna start doing as much on my ebay auctions--- if you are republican, your bid is not welcome....
whatever joe drama queen. mccain has a starbucks in his
little mits everytime i see him in the media. these people have a difficult time with grey spectrum thinkers.we don't
hate your peeps joe.....go to applebees....i don't give a fxxk. this is another superiority complex dude....he leads questions tries to box people on their answers...joe your not interesting.
I'd rather be a latte' sipping liberal than a race baiting republican
For someone whose morning show actually takes its name from slang for a cup of coffee, Joe sure has distain for us coffee drinkers. Perhaps he just hates himself.
Give him a winger radio show so we don't need to accidently turn on the TV and see his sneer.
PEACE
You guys/girls are batting 1000 with the screen grabs today. Well done.
As for McCain's latest indulgence, batting that one aside should be easy for them. Something along the lines of "John McCain is a WAR HERO! He deserves a capuccino when he wants one!"
Or, "He went 5 and a half years without a latte when he was in the HANOI HILTON!"
See? No problem.
To the republicans Obama will always be a liberal and they will say it in a way that sounds bad. I think their ability to paint Obama as elitist definitely has gone down the drain. (not that they won’t keep trying)
I’m very surprised McCain doesn’t have a Starbucks on his ranch.
Hey Joe! Find any dead aides in your office lately? At least Edwards didn't kill his lover when he was finished with her....
Joe Stupidborough
Painting himself into a corner with quick-dry rubber cement.......
When John McCain sips a latte, it's mavericky.
Wrong link? I didn't see anything in the LA Times article about coffee.
[It's near the end of the article..."McCain, who huddled with advisors at his desert compound in Sedona, Ariz., said nothing in public. A nine-car motorcade took him to a nearby Starbucks early in the morning, where he ordered a large cappuccino. McCain otherwise avoided reporters." Sitemonitor]
Don Webber @ 10:
i'll bet the help at mccains ranch buys starbucks whole beans and i'll bet mccain does or did have starbucks stock. it's culture war bullshxt....same ol shxt
ltfcrazy @ 6:
Damn!! Well Said!! Great quote...me too.
He need's to be replaced either with Sam Seder or Cenk Uygur.
Scarborough needs to be exiled like Tucker Carlson.
Time for Joe to go.
Now that Rachel gets Dan's spot in the evening, can't they give Dan the Joe spot?
All we need after that would be to give Phil Donahue Tweety's spot.
It's hard to watch that guy with his spitting and slobbering all the time.
Just saw "Dancin" David Gregory on MSNBC. Every time I see Gregory it amazes me how much he looks like Howdy Doody. Sorry Howdy.
ltfcrazy @ 6:
Or a baby killing neocon.
Did Laurie drink latte, Joe? Izzat the source of your discomfort with the drink?
Ha ha! Joe and McCain should go and grab a cappuccino! Can't stand the guy! So glad that Rachel's getting her own show!
negative linguistic framing.....they think they're better than you....i don't think i'm better i just don't hang with these people....hypocrites
grs @ 14:
From the linked article:
Don Webber @ 10:
Which one?! :)
If only we could all be so humble as Joe Scarborough.
Doesn't joe pretend to be on the liberal side at times. Perhaps he's just cushioning the fall his real party is going to take in November and he's padding his new bed. Don't these guys care about anything other than what happens to them personally and the country be damned.
yeah this is getting really annoying. I wish morning joe would stop sipping on the lattehater juice. plus his show is called morning joe playing on the fact that its the morning and you need coffee and im sure joe is drinking lattes every morning over there at starbucks
watch obama/biden event live
http://sensico.wordpress.com/2008/08/23/live/
Serious, when are we going to start to send Joe Scarborough e-mails asking him why he killed or found the intern dead in his congressal office, and why he went on the IMUS show a joke about. By the way what is his morning joe e-mail address?
I watched today for a while, (all I could take). The seamiest part of his show is the way he toys with, undresses and spanks his blow-up doll, Mika, she of the demure smile and NO, NO....HARDER, HARDER....indignation. They have a "cute" little S&M thing going on, if you go for that kind of thing. (At least she is better looking than Allan Colmes) After ten minutes, it make you want to take a shower.
And, what is a Willie and why is he on my TV? The guy makes Tucker look relevant.
I always stop at Starbucks when I've lost my way home to one of my many mansions. They have wireless and I can take off my Ferragamos, relax, and look things up on Google maps.
Thrillhouse @ 24:
talk about a carbon foot print.......elitist
Latte Drinking?
Along with everything for which they disdain non-Thugs:
(repeat after me, 'whiners')
IOKIYAR
I prefer Irish coffee
Black coffee with a shot of Irish whiskey
Does that mean I ain't liberal?
constituent @ 32:
Yeah. it amazes me on several levels not the least which are:
1) Wha? No 'spro machine in the house?
2) McCain, apparently you pay over $270,000 per annum on staff. Are you telling me one of your serfs couldn't go get lattes for everyone in a Prius?
Sheesh. and they bitch about Al Gore not being 'green' enough.
Isn't a latte when you grab a quick cup o' joe on your way to an appointment that should've already started?
grs @ 14:
Thank you!
Not trying to be a concern troll, this seems to be stretching it. To me, shows how rattled McCain is personally about the whole thing. He started this mess and now knows it be a bad tactic. Now that it's blowing up in his face, he's ducking out for a cup of coffee and trying to escape the chaos while making his campaign staff come up with the next unsuccessful smear. Why else wouldn't he send a lackey to get a cup of joe? I'd hope McCain wouldn't drag a 9 car motorcade to Starbucks and not spring for everyone else. That would be a story.
33lp @ 13:
LOL
they'll try to say that a 'cappucino' is a more manly drink than a 'latté'.
.
new word otter @ 38:
he would have a latte but he is lactose intolerant
Hey Joe.......run that by me one more time.....exactly what happened to your secretary ?
If there is a GOD, then he/she will give Rachel M. the morning slot that Joe occupies, and send Joe off to FOX where he belongs.
Hey, Joe!
I'm a liberal, and I just love Starbucks' white chocolate mocha! I don't drive a limousine, though ...
Sip, sip ...
Oh, have you seen Lori anywhere ...?
Oh my good this guy....this arrogant pud. Please whatever gods are in....well wherever they are, please don't let this guy come anywhere near me if I'm drunk and holdin' a shovel. Please google Joe Sca...the spelling is way too long and pretentious for me to negotiate in my compromised state.....anyway google that guy and like .....death of....well, just death.
These republicans are like that movie .... that movie with Tony Montana....no not Tony Montana....that movie with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves where the devil wanted that Keanu guy for some reason, and those people would transmogrify into like these weird demons and shit.
I mean really, tell me that Joe .....Joe, whatever his perfect 'anglo' name is, is not like those demons in that movie. No really, google up that butthead and the girl that was murdered in his office. Come on you left wing wankers it's ok to go like, Fuck You, Joe whatever, and all the other Ralph Reed republican dickheads
Will Joe Scarborough Finally Drop The “Latte Sipping Liberal” Garbage Now?
No.
constituent @ 39:
He's truth-intolerant...reason-intolerant
the proper response to cuppajoe is...
people who live in at least 7 glass houses should not be motorcadeing to starbucks
Scumbo will continue to do what the desperate Reslugs tell him to do and lie their pink panties off.
John McShame is a sell out to the right wing nutcases that are the sick part of the Republican Party. McShame has been forced to embrace the sickness on the right. It is a shame because prior to the sellout he was in fact a better person.
Joe is a twit with little original thought. I don't watch. Try that..turn him off.
Low ratings would do more than these silly comments!
Father Time doesn't know how many houses he owns, drinks his coffee at Starbucks, has more money than 99.9% of Americans, but is not an elitist... right! And George W Bush is a compassionate conservative and will bring dignity and honor to the White House! Sure, just ask a vet with three to 5 tours who has lost benefits. Anyone that trusts a Republican gets what he deserves.
Scarborough is a frightened little authoritarian follower. Wasn't it only a few months back that he was having a meltdown over the betrayal by his Bush/Cheney authority?
Joe is a Republican. It makes no difference how many crimes his party commits, he will always fight for the next criminal in line for the thrown.
Pay no attention to little Joey, except for the fact that he influences Ditto-heads everywhere.
The truly horrifying thing is, I don't think any of us could change the minds of the Ditto-heads.
May The Force Be With Us
Starbucks sells 9 BILLION Dollars a year of "Lattes". Doesn't that really put you in the minority if you are not drinking that stuff?
Ok, which one of you nimrods got cute and said, "I like my coffee black, thank you." in response to this post?
Carol @ 18:
I don't get why people here seem to like Phil Donahue. The guy's an utter dweeb. Not in a touchy-feely, not-tough-enough kind of way, it's more like he sounds fake-sentimental but at the same time seems to actually believe it. Granted, that might be an improvement on Matthews, but can't we find somebody better?
If you somehow can get a message to him just say "dead interns!" Would you like a sip of my latte? Made it myself in my kitchen.
Aren't there any openings at Fake News for this cretin????
Just a thought....
"Will Joe Scarborough Finally Drop The “Latte Sipping Liberal” Garbage Now?"
Will dogs stop licking up their own vomit?
(And I STILL think the $270 000 for SERVANTS is a much better talking point than the $500 shoes.)
This guy is such a shill. If he can't make his point...or if someone questions his point...he gets all huffy and goes on the "insult route" to shut them down.
What a typical pig shill.
The only thing good about the NeoCons and their captive corporate media, is watching them fall flat on their face stepping in all the things they've said.
LOL just doesn't cover it.
First off was this a troll post on behalf of scumbag to let us know he is back??? just kidding.
Secondly...a thought to ponder...while he was gone MSNBC gave Rachel an hour slot in prime time....you know...the one that cleaned his clock on Race? Repeatedly? Joe likes to have money to buy his cheetos but winds of change are in the building....
ohio progressive @ 4:
How about advertising that 10% of all proceeds go to the Obama/Biden campaign? If they buy they'll be helping the cause (a slicker way of sticking it to them)!
doctormidnight @ 2:
Not in my eyes. Call me an "elitist" all you want. I love traveling to Europe. I love sushi. I love independent movies. I love going to art museums. And yes, I love lattes. Unlike the Dems, I have no problem being labeled a "latte sipping liberal."
I'll take that over being a "NASCAR-loving, Bible-thumping, gun-totting, pickup-driving, mullet-wearing wrestlemaniac."
Why is this clown still on the Air?
ELITE.... often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.
INTELLECTUAL....possessing or showing intellect or mental capacity, esp. to a high degree: an intellectual person.
LIBERAL....favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, esp. as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties.
MCCAIN....dumbfuck conservative anti-intellectual wealthy political climber
EVERYBODY HAS TO BE SOMETHING..... YOU CHOOSE !!!
Who can afford a latte these days Joe????
are you really sipping coffee from that cup of yours
scroll down a bit and read the part about Scarborough
http://www.truthalliance.net/Archive/tabid/67/articleType/ArticleView/ar...
how come this is never talked about?
Good old Joe.
For the Right-Wing he is like an Intellectual version of Glenn Beck (which is not saying much). I don't think Joe really expects to sit there and make any kind of rational argument or do any sort of reasonable political analysis of anything. He just collects his paycheck. If his bosses asked him to dress up in a chicken suit and do the weather I am sure he would comply.
So what is there to watch in the mornings? I tried to watch morning joe but it was so irritating. Not only the right wing garbage but as a woman, watching how Mika is treated. She is usually placed on the outside of the conversation and when joe leans in she is cut off. He is also loud and cuts her off when she tries to talk. Anyone with a lick of sense would stager the height to the outside so all can be included. Her body language usually says "annoyed". So... what is a liberal to do for morning news? I usually go to CNN but that isn't much better.
A large (20 ounce, "venti") cappucinno is an "American" drink in that it's super-sized. If a small one is good, a large one must be great! More is better and all that garbage. Perfect size to compliment all those damn houses.
No matter what he drinks, he's a hypocrite.
And I'm sure McCain enjoyed his latte in his kitchen.
Wait...he didn't, because he spent the whole time deciding which one of the seven kitchens to drink it in.
The dead intern story circulating around The Scar sounds about par for the Forida political course. The Scar keeps alluding to his knowledge about America's heartland. Joe Scarbourough doesn't know ANYTHING about the heartland of America. He's just another rovian Republican who buys into the "constant campaign" mentality of the last eight years.
They should call his program Morning Republican. I call it Morning Jo(k)e.
ysbaddaden @ 34:
Wel, YS, I suppose that depends on your choice of whiskey...Jameson's or Bushmill's?
Hey, I just drink black coffee with and espresso now and again.
Joe's a fraud and a schmuck.
One Question, the CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA, did a job on EDWARDS, but not McCain, They did a job on the Democratic Senator an the intern that was found missing and lator murdered. But not a peep from the CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA, or evin the Tabloids, about Republican Joe Scharborough and Lori Klausutis found dead in his office in Florida while he was a House Member, where is the fair and blounced CORPORATE CONTROLED MEDIA. Ans any time.
What the hell is a latte?
Sounds like the name of some German broad.
Here's how I make coffee.
