Yeah, that made me a sad panda. I was looking forward to this. I know it will get fixed, but I'm just so impatient!

Well I guess that says it all!

As a former resident of Ft. Walton Beach, Florida (where the dead intern was found in Joe's office) I can say that I don't find it distasteful at all considering the bizarre happening that took place after the young woman's mysterious death.

Joe Blowhaerd is still spinnin dishonest talking points for the crumbling right wing?

Who'd a thunk he would do this now, after his disgraceful activities right before he cut and ran from congress.

wait, what?

Bluegal, I'm sure Little Joe didn't mean you. (But I love the rant anyway!)

Sometimes the Scar can surprise you.

I found that his praise for both Senators Clinton and Obama shortly after Mister Obama secured the nomination this evening was effusive and genuine and one of the better commentaries I've heard on either candidate.

He is a total stoner though, and if he wants any sort of a shot at redemption, I'd like to see him lead the charge and use his national platform as a bully pulpit towards towards finally decriminalizing this plant.

I'm sure he could get Pat Buchanan's help and support with this.

I can explain the addiction, for me it's easy....

It's called International Superstar Erin Burnett at 8:30 and I totally hate myself for this, in-house MSNBC party girl Courtney Hazlett.

She seems like a younger, much, much crazier version of the Faye Dunaway character in Network and looking at her I gotta wonder how much of this story is true?

And for those of us who are Cheetos eating, Star Wars fans who live in our mother's basement, Scarborough:

How many character reinventions are you and Tucker Carlson are going to go through before MSNBC fires you? Glass houses, boy. At least we're honest with ourselves.

Both downloads come up with an error message for me.

Very nice Bluegal. Direct, to the point and without any of the political correctness that one might expect. Priceless.

Too bad that dumb asses like Joe Scarface get to spew their stupidity to such large audiences.

Bluegal RAWKS and as for Joe, it will come back on him and soon. If the media can follow a tabloid all the way to a live baby and John Edwards, it can get through the murk to a dead woman and a live ASSHOLE, aka Smirkin' Joe Scarborough.

but I like Cheetos...

Scarborough has a "I am entitled" mentality. He has complained about security in 'Denver, perhaps he thinks he is entitled to superstar status? He has sung the praises of McCain every single day of this convention, fair and balanced be damned. K.O interrupted him and said "Jesus Joe, get a shovel" to which Joe exploded. Joe has walked off the set when Maddow corrected him. Big mouth Joe seems like trouble but the head of MSNBC has defended all of his anchors. And as far as his two sidekicks, the blonde bimbo just agrees with everything that Joe says and the baby faced frat boy sidekick was also Tucker's sidekick, enough said.

I have been in the audience in Denver for Hardball. I will say this, I was impressed on how accessible Matthews has been to the audience. He has been friendly, shaking hands, joking and signing autographs whereas Olberman can barely manage a wave to the crowd. Keith is a disappointment but I still like his quick wit on the air.

Who really cares what the corpo RAT fascists have to say about bloggers.

Nobody likes Cheetos!

Remember, poor Joe is just upset that no one thinks of him as a real journalist.

It's no wonder. He isn't.

I like Cheetos too. I gladly eat them at my computer smearing the screen everytime his face comes on. Eat that Joe, and that and I have elistist dark chocolate to smear on your pasty white face.

But I no longer live in the basement. My momma, bless her, is long gone. Maybe they will bring Dan Abrams on and eliminate the chaff, Joe, from the wheat.

Friend of mine said that over at america blog , bill clinton was set to blow off obamas acceptance speech.

That said, as a relative outsider to the MSM those people must not watch their own performances otherwise they'd be aware of how absolutely ridiculous they look and sound. They're trying to cast bloggers as loser freaks. Best they look in the mirror and see the loser freak looking back at them. And these people are helping shape Americans' opinions? Scary stuff.

Oh, little local color for you people out in the hinterlands of fly-over country, ie not living in Manhattan Media Nation, to fill you in on what the big picture is here and tell you everything that you need to know about Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

For ye shall know them by the company they keep....

79 year old Bob Grant is one of the most loathesome, vile, nasty and creepy right wing radio commentators on the AM dial, he's pretty much credited with creating the hate radio genre, and he now in the twilight of his career he has an evening show on WABC in NYC after Imus, Limbaugh and Hannity have had their say for the day, and about a month ago he was out and the guest hosts for the evening were....

Joe and Mika.

They seemed quite comfortable filling his hate-filled spot and didn't look at all like they missed their usually early bedtimes the next morning.

~Nyc

Joe Scarborough, Willie Geist, and Mike Barnicle have berated and belittled "the cheeto brigade" of bloggers almost daily for months now. They taunt blogger almost every day. a couple months ago Barnicle had a yelling rant about bloggers in their pajamas in the parents basement and he pointed at the camera and screamed "get a life!" And the whole crew laughed and laughed all week long about it, so they've just stuck with that meme ever since.

Uncle Joe Mccarthy @ 51:

it took 60 years for msm to embrace geek culture as a result of the dark knight, 300, sin city, xmen, etc....now they still refer to comic book collectors as geeks, but they are going out of their way to pander to the creators, cuz without them, their biz is dead

Oh, why'd you have to go and bring up 300? Christ, both the graphic novel and film were right-wing, post-9/11 propaganda. The Persians weren't a bunch of pierced hedonists- quite the opposite! They were far more tolerant than the Spartans.

If you wanna read a good book on the battle of Thermopylae, check out Steven Pressfield's Gates of Fire. Still from the Spartan pov, but researched and written much better.

Joe is as out of touch as the rest of his party.

I exclaim, "How does he confuse a condom wrapper for matches?"

And my wife answers, "The prostitutes don't make him wear one."

skippy covered the lori klausutis (dead intern) affair back in 2006, when katherine harris was trying to revive the rumors (most probably true) about scarborough.

we do a short, readers digest version here today...and here is the 2006 post.

bobbie @ 57:

not exactly, at least not what i read. i googled her name, lori klausutis. she wasn't an intern. she was a paid staffer in his district office and had been for a few years. there is no indication it was any sort of affair, but apparently scarbourgh got a hold of some classifies documents relating to 9/11. stuff that supposedly could be damaging to the bush administration....documents that he probably should not have had access to. anyway, lori saw them, she died under mysterious circumstances and a second rate medical examiner called her death 'undetermined'. did joe kill her? probably not. did his overblown ego lead him to do something really stupid and dangerous, like getting a hold documents that were never meant for public consumption. probably. he most likely didn't kill her but there's a good chance he played a part in her death, how ever inadvertently..

uh...this whole thing (lori's death & the subsequent cover-up) happened months before 9/11, so, whatever you read was out to lunch.

Great.

That was way below the belt. Criticism is fine but I can't see how anybody can say Scarborough isn't probably the best right winger out there they can find. I enjoy the show and yeah he can be a dumbass sometimes...but please, that staffer thing is disrespectful to him, his family, and most importantly the staffer and her family.

And to think that that was edited?

Willie Geist: Joe I am here at the bloggers tent. Do you eat cheetos? Do you eat cheetos? Do you eat cheetos? Do you eat cheetos? Do you eat cheetos? Do you eat cheetos? Whats your high score in D&D? Whats your high score in D&D? Whats your high score in D&D? Whats your high score in D&D? Whats your high score in D&D? Do you live in your mom's basement? Do you live in your mom's basement?

Scar is threatened. Who wouldn't be? The MSM and the likes of scar have had a stranglehold on information. Bloggers are a direct threat to that stranglehold. He has every reason to be afraid. Blogging takes away his authority and relevance in the world.

Joe was in another city at the time of the poor woman's death- who apparently fell and hit her head on a desk.
If you're looking for some real dirt on this putz- read up on Michael F. Griffin, the man who murdered an abortion doctor in 93'. He was a close family friend of Scarborough.

I have to disagree. Joe Scarborough is the worst rightwinger on msnbc by far. Even Pat Buchanan is better than Scar. Joe Scarborough is just barely more tolerable than Glenn Beck.

He pretends (occasionally) to take a more moderate position than some in his party, but it's usually only when he's being a concern troll. Joe's been the biggest concern troll ever on any issue about Hillary - just like Limbaugh, Rove, O'Reilly, Hannity - for the past year, sometimes calling her his "girlfriend" only because he was trying to help McCain by draining money from the candidates in the primaries trying to make them go on as long as they could. Before she fell behind Obama in delegates, Hillary was a shedevil to Joe and he blasted her every chance he could, just like Limbaugh, Rove, O'Reilly, Hannity.

This really doesn't have anything to do with the dead girl comment, which is all that poster was focused on.

My only thought is that I don't enjoy these "nyah nyah" posts on this site. They're very bitter and they always feel childish and overly defensive. I get that getting attacked by someone like Joe on no real grounds is also insulting and frustrating, but I don't feel like the tirades and digs accomplish much either.

Blue Gal responds:

Trust me, Tony, I thought about ignoring him but he's pulling this "Cheetos brigade" bs as a regular part of his show and I've had enough. I'm educated, own my home, love my kids, and write for the internet. JS is either threatened by me or wants to impress me that he can call me and my profession names from his mountaintop. He can bite my cheetos. Thanks for your comment. - BG

I don't eat Cheetos either, and I am a 68-year-old mother and grandmother who blogs every day in my own house. If it's clean, it's because I cleaned it. If there's something to eat, it's because I bought it and cooked it. I don't bother e-mailing Scarborough or Mathews any more though. I'd rather spend my time pushing back against the reactionary attitudes that are shaping my local world. That's life in a Bible belt red state where the Confederate flag still flies on public ground.

My psych analysis is that Scarborough is just another one of those guys whose physical stature gave him the idea that he is more important and more powerful than others. Like Dr. Phil. Pick on women, especially mothers, and nerdy people who don't live to Lord it over others. BTW, I went to the same high school as Willie Geist, and so did my mother two hundred years ago, so he gets a pass for associating with jerks like Tucker Carlson and Joe Scarborough.

God, I just watched the rant v. Shuster. What. a. tool.

Oh Ha Ha Willie...maybe you can have a dead intern in YOUR office one day!

I watched morning Joe for about 2 weeks when it first came on. Ugh. I can't stand his smarmy arrogance masquerading as a regular guy. His team was OK by me but Joe... yuck.

Well said, although I think that comment about the dead staff was wayyyy below the belt and distasteful.

why ? an injury that merely stuns and bloodies, and causes outbreaks of cursing for normal people.
I have a scar on my forehead from a school desk incident, much blood and freaked others out, I swore then laughed.

John Emerson @ 17:

kiss my liberal elite blogger ass.

Yuk, Bluegal. You don't know where Joe's mouth has been.

The saying about "a dead girl or a live boy" isn't true of Scarborough. There was a dead girl, but no scandal. IIRC the coroner who exonerated him had been disbarred in another state.

disbarred in another state

thats par for the course in so many Republican scandals.

Joe's just jealous his show doesn't even have as many viewers as this blog alone has every day, much less the entire blogosphere he's dissing.

Fox & Friends FNC 215,000 834,000
Morning Express HLN 146,000 273,000

(I mean, who else is watching your show, Joe?)

Good point. Why even bother giving this manure-pile toadstool any attention at all?

Do you have any work experience??

Also, there is going to be alot of backlash coming this way and many other ways for the horrendous behavior of the Liberal blogs during this election season, you can count on it. This blog is one of the few that actually tried to keep a lid on the disgusting behavior of Obama's supporters. But KOS, DU, Americablog, TPM and many others have lost the respect of millions of people, and they deservedly aren't going to be getting it back. Joey Scar is right to ridicule those disgusting people. He has them pegged.

Are you kidding me? What universe do you live in?
Republican bloggers turned hate and misinformation
into an art form to spread propaganda and trash this
country and it'sitical system. When the truth is revealed
you can't take it. Get used to it.

Well said. We've all seen the bullsh_t from the right for the last 8 years. Hello war only as a last resort! It is time we and this country stood up to this crap and you have made a fine start. Proud of you!

man that's hilarious! - everything about that item is exactly why mainstream media sucks so bad and the blogs don't. They're sitting there spouting stereotypes and trashing people... and they think they are the real journalists??? HAH!

"Aww, that really hurts us...!"

Funny thing is, Joe: It really does, doesn't it? You can admit it now. You didn't enter in this profession to have your work being questioned by people who are smarter and more assiduous than you are, did you? They call your bluff on their little blogs, and that gets on your million dollar salary nerves.

It shows.

My biggest hope is that after the election in November, Joe, Mika, and the sorriest creep of them all , Willie are fired from MSNBC!

JimboSlice @ 1:

NOPE.. IT was RIGHT on the money!!!!!

Umm, you do own Star Wars memorabilia if you have kids and get McDonalds Happy Meals.

That's right, Joe.
Screw the data, fuck the facts, just keep saying it and it will become true.

So bloggers are liberal elites who live in their parent's basement and eat Cheetos?

I'd be afraid to meet Scarborough. His cognitive dissonance must be very uncomfortable.

I'm sick of his attacks on blogge... hang on, my moms calling me.... okay, i'm back. the nerve of that woman trying to make me come upstairs and take out the trash in the middle of HALO. Like, c'mon, really!

Watchin clips of Scarboy flippin out on his show last night...methinks the once seemingly invincibility of the GOP talking heads is showing definite sign of weakness throughout...I say...if it bleeds...we can kill it!
Here's to hoping they all start having breakdowns like Scarboy. I gotta say....that will make for some good teevee!

Attention-seeking behavior has been rewarded. First rule of thumb while working with the emotionally disturbed, never respond to their tantrums.

However, his unsavory history should be held up to demonstrate how disturbed this individual truly is, every single time this creep opens his poison, toxic, corporate-sucking, mouth.

Have a nice day, Joey..........you can run, but the truth is always there.........no matter where YOU go, there YOU are.

Joe Scarface's problem is that he equates anyone who calls his bullshit with the standard generalization that anyone on a blog is of similar ilk. Sorry, but you have a range of folks across a broad spectrum on blogs, and probably to his distaste, the MSM just doesn't have the power over the common folk like they used to in shaping opinion and memes. So him and other snobs like him on any of those cable news networks are going to continue to fade away with a huge chip on their shoulders.

As an Ivy-educated middle-aged mother-of-three homeowner who does not own any Star Wars memorabilia, I can see why you might be jealous of bloggers, Joe. Few of us have to deal with little niggling details like dead staff in our office or having to carry the water of the Worst. President. Ever.

Gold.

Joe is a clown just like his hero G. W. Bush.

Have you noticed how he just sits there and says unhuh...unhuh......check his hands for cheetos stains....if they complain about it they be doin' it.....are Sean Insanity and Joe Joe twins?.....how about a show together to see if they could get a word in edgewise?......When will these pundits quit interupting? it is sooooooo annoying.....Pat B is always going ehh ehh ehhhh my turn my turn...why Rachel sits there squirming yet politely waiting her turn and actually having a well thoughtout opinion......anyone else thing that the wingnuts are ruining it on the reporting of the convention?

been wating c-span and checking to see what faux and msnbc have left out....the tremendous video of our troops...followed by Tammy Duckworth.....how is that supporting our troops? I am glad someone tipped my off to cspan.....

sorry about the mistakes.....cheetos on my fingers and the light is too dim in the basement

I vote and I routinely write my elected representatives (and occasionally those across the aisle when they've done something laudable or ridiculous).

I also happen to be a Star Wars fan, and own stormtrooper armor, which isn't something I ran out and bought from Wal-Mart.

Stereotypes don't help your argument, Joe, they just make you look like an arse.

Julius McKnuckles @ 144:

I think those of us on the left should just leave this kind of stuff be. The conservative right have talked so much trash about blogging without actually understanding what they are talking about, that they have basically accomplished whipping their constituency into their latest hate/fear of the internet in general. It's feckin' hilarious! Let them waste time with their gross underestimations ...

... yet these are the people who are telling us things like Net Neutrality aren't a concern. There's a reason they want their servile adherents frothing at the mouth over the internet - it's a lot easier to sell restrictions when they think we're a bunch of pedophiles, pornographers, and software pirates.

I'm not inclined to be quiet when a stereotype based on one of my hobbies is used to denigrate me or others.

When Lucasfilm had stormtroopers accompanying George Lucas at the 2007 Tournament of Roses Parade, Bob Eubanks dipped into the same well as Scarborough, ignoring the notes which his co-host had clearly read, to remark, "These guys need to get real jobs."

We are professionals who happen to enjoy Star Wars and the precision work that goes into our costumes. We are parents, teachers, corporate executives, doctors, lawyers, software engineers, policemen, firemen, and even military personnel (and, yes, that includes troops in Iraq).

It's humorous when the setting is a science-fiction convention. Lord knows I've gotten my share of, 'Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?'

It's not humorous when the stereotype is being used to dismiss the views of a vocal and increasingly powerful segment of the community.

The two things that struck me about the clip were (1) couldn't he think of anything beyond Cheetos, Star Wars/Trek, D&D and mom's basement? No creativity, no range. I think it could have been an amusing segment if he hadn't just asked the same four questions of each person he harrassed. and (2) Did he seriously think Planned Parenthood would suggest protecting oneself with ... matches? How long had he had that and not figured out what it was and what it meant. What a knucklehead.

And well done with the "Clueless Joe" appellation.
