Morning Joe Scarborough goes mano-a-mano with Rush Limbaugh over manhood issues
By David Neiwert Friday Oct 09, 2009 3:00pm
So yesterday, Rush Limbaugh belittled Joe Scarborough's manhood over the differences regarding where the Great Gasbag is taking the Republican Party. He called him a "neutered chickified moderate". Oooooh.
So today, Scarborough fired back, with pal Mika Brzezinski somewhat aghast at the gonadial turn of the conversation:
Scarborough: I would be careful. If I had put my testicles in a blind trust for George W. Bush for eight years I'd be careful ..
Brzezinski: Can you say "testicles" on Morning Joe?
... [Crosstalk]
Scarborough: But there are a lot of people on the right that did in fact put their testicles in a blind trust for the past eight years, and stopped being conservative and started being apologists. And, um, that's about all I'll say.
Other than, other than -- you remember that, that scene with George W. Bush carrying Rush Limbaugh's suitcase into the White House? Now we know what was inside the suitcase.
It's all rather amusing to watch. It's funny, too -- both Scarborough and Limbaugh have been playing the "conservatism could not fail, it was George W. Bush who failed conservatism" card since before the election. Now they're accusing each other of not having the right brand of conservatism.
As we observed already, Scarborough is in pretty deep denial about just how far into the abyss his movement has fallen.
Scarborough went on in this segment to vent that he wrote a book back in 2004 warning that the Bush administration's out-of-control spending would have dire consequences that would make the GOP unpopular. And it's true, he wrote that.
But the Bush budget deficits were only a small part of the picture when it comes to the causes of the massive recession he catastrophically brought down upon the nation's head. The biggest single cause of this recession was the mania for deregulation -- particularly within the financial sector -- and the breakdown of firewalls within that sector that had been erected to protect consumers and the industry itself back during the FDR era.
These policies -- especially the desire to destroy the legacy of the New Deal embodied by the mania for deregulation -- have always been, and continue to be, central themes for conservatism, not just for the Rush Limbaugh wingnut bloc but for the Joe Scarborough "mainstream conservative" bloc too.
In other words, it was conservatism itself that created this mess. And while you boys are off fighting about your penises, we liberals will be busy cleaning it up, as usual.

There is a 3rd part, Rush's reply to Joe's reply and it's been picked up on Media Matters.

Limbaugh to Scarborough: "I invented ... the testicle lockbox, ... it's Hillary Clinton's," and your testicles "are in" it
Pass the popcorn ...
Two "conservatives" talking about each others nuts. Haven't heard this much talk about nut sacks by men since the Mark Foley emails were made public. This is simply embarrassing but funny as hell. Hate to break it to both of them but neither of there testicles have even dropped yet.
I refuse to watch either one of these assholes and can only imagine they were trying to see who had the smaller dick.
...magnifying glasses, I am the FUCK out of here.
Wholeheartedly!!!!
There are so few of these people left they have nothing left but to turn on themselves..
And while you boys are off fighting about your penises, we liberals will be busy cleaning it up, as usual.
That whole last sentence made me throw up in my mouth...a little bit.
...hhorp....hhhhrooOorp...I'm ok...wait...hhhhorpppp....
Blaaarrrrggggghhhhh ... !!!
;)
are right wing males so obsessed with the male genitalia?
I am, but at least I have a good up-front reason for it.
(Nothing suggestive intended)
(okay...it was intended)
(but at least I'm up-front about it.)
stand tall and be proud of yourself!
;)
I am Homo Erectus!!
But BOTH Joe and Rush need a few more inches to be perfect dicks!
Please, a few inches for either would only qualify them for a vagina.
:)
Do not insult vaginas! I happen to have one, and like having one,(very much, thank you!) and will not put up with anyone insulting, one of the strongest muscles of the female body, with the likes of fat ass Rush! I'd put a vagina up against any penise and I bet you a million bucks it will out perform the penise every time! Its always raring to go at the touch of a button, needs no rest inbetween and it can squeeze a baby out and bounce right back into shape. So, if you don't want me to come back here and remind you guys that, vaginas are way better than penises...back off the vagina insults.
You friendly neighborhood feminist
I'd put a vagina up against any penise
Huuhuhuhuhuhu!
Huhuhuhu!
Hey, Beavis, she wants me.
Huhuhuhuhu!
Tell it, sista!
even though I can't last near as long as they do.
HowUdoooin?
Ya busy tonight?
A man's wee is so beyond measuring that to add inches it would only barely qualify it to be a female's internal sexual organ is NOT an insult to women or their private parts. It is insulting the male that is the target of said remark.
So, I'm sorry if you feel offended by said remark, no offense was intended. And I stand by what I said.
She has a certain labial fortitude.:)
I must say.
Ew.
Again, no offense.
What? Should I say she has testicular fortitude? :)
Just your turn of the phrase kinda ooogeyed me out. The correct terminology is "She's got OVARIES."
;)
I'm OVARwhelmed.:)
of the end for these guys. Republicans eating their own......
...then that is the best, nuanced one yet! LOLz
The party of losers, thugs, and morons is cannibalizing itself. It was inevitable.
since there's no end to the pricks.
Rush sure has a pretty mouth...
...perty... an' he shore duz.
of a sheeps butt. Mmmm.
...now I am going to drive some pens into my eyes.
That would be as exciting as watching a dueling match of clashing Vienna Sausages.
Let the two wannabees go at it.
Boss Lumpduh has testicles? Who knew?
I gotta give this one to Slow Scarburough.
At least he's not batshit crazy........anymore.
He's just a pompous wind bag who likes to hear his own voice.
Boss Lumpduh on the other hand is the extreme.
Extreme liar, seditionist, Anti American, treasonous, gasbag with no balls who has to hide and spew his shit.
Hey Lush, YOU LIE!!!
without his MOMMY!!!
It's lovely to watch them eat their own.
this is known as a "philosophical argument."
I love it
" A pox on both their houses "
Shakespeare... Romeo and Juliet
...their whats now?
On their pimply asses.
Because so few of them know how to dance.

I just love ballsy tunes, ysb!
I didn't even have to look. Cal's remark told me everything.
Bwaak...waak...waak...waak...waak...waak...
I haven't heard that one since high school ha ha
Isn't mono-o=mono too Hispanic for republicans
Or they're just giving each other an STD?
For every time Scar went after George Bush
he paid for it by spending the next three shows
carrying Cheney's balls in his hand as a
republican apologist. This particular apologist
can always point to Katrina and all the things
he said about Bush but the fact is Scar was
right there with Bush and the big government
republicans 80% of the time.
I continue to have trouble with the definition of the Liberal label.
That Joe and Rush describe themselves as Conservatives (and are trying to out-conservative each other) is a given. The whole BushCo cabal described themselves as such. Even before that, the “Gingrich-Revolution” applied the same moniker to each other.
But the “Liberal” label is also theirs (or has become as they define it). Anyone that opposes them, anyone that runs against them, anyone with ANY conflicting views is/was deemed “Liberal”. Liberals are their straw-man that they can easily define as “Not Us” and therefore bad.
It’s the black-white nomenclature I have trouble with. Hannity, Coulter, Rush, etc. all do the same thing. “Either you’re with us, or you’re a Liberal.” If that is the accepted definition, so be it – I’m a Liberal. But it’s not that simple. Conservatism IS a narrowly defined cabal. Not so much the opposition. While the (now dwindling) “conservative” faction is marching in an ever tighter lock-step against whatever they perceive to be their opposition, the other side of the isle runs the gamut. The ONLY characteristic that I see ALL Liberals having, the only belief they all have in common, is that they are all against the Conservatives.
This type of thinking perpetuates the Us vs Them mentality. It limits discussion. It changes focus to a type of sporting event where the score of our side vs there side is all that matters. It is simplistic and one-dimensional.
The issues we face today are not as simplistic. They are certainly not one-dimensional. Complex problems require complex thinking and complex solutions. The self-described conservatives have failed at every turn at providing any solutions. They are content with the simplistic Us vs. Everybody Else. Not so everybody else – who the conservatives call Liberals.
I don't consider myself a liberal, just a decent person. WTF?
If I let a Joe Scarborough post go by without the obligatory question about why the dead intern was in his office, and where was he?
HE GAVE UP POLITICS!
This is the funniest thread since Larry Craig's wide stance.
In other words, it was conservatism itself that created this mess. And while you boys are off fighting about your penises, we liberals will be busy cleaning it up, as usual."
Classic. Like Clinton had to clean up behind Saint Ronnie and Bush 41.
Joe has to look on helplessly as Limbaugh and Beck push his party over the cliff.
What are you two trying to kill my favorite past time?!
"he's a real man" for his upcoming Miss America judgeship.
Somewhere in the DR, little boys' hearts are breaking...
I hope he winds up sitting between John Waters and Mickey Rourk.
Waters would keep putting his hand on his lap, and Rourk will put out his cigarettes in his ear.

philosophical conundrums it seems. How do you teabag with your testicles in a lockbox?
a small lady's purse would be MORE than enough room. Room enough, as a matter of fact, for the balls of all the Republicans who served in the House and Senate from 2001 to 2007.
Two revisionist bullshitters fighting for the corpse of the Republican party. They're both right and both of them can eat shit.
tonight's episode is a must see to understand the kind of fight we are up against to reform our financial system.

Moyers asks us to get busy.
Step 1:
Take back our money!!! CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT and/or credit cards linked to the four major banks. Bank of America (aka Skank of America), Citi Bank (aka Shitty Bank), Chase or Wells Fargo and take it to a smaller bank or credit union. When you close it make sure to tell the bank manager that you are linking their particular "reversal in fortune" to the BIG MONEY being used in DC by LOBBYISTS to break our backs. We starve them of their favorite weapon in the biggest display of we the people power. We need to fight back by taking our money AWAY from them. We need to stop feeding the beast.
JAVA JOE Writes name in snow. He's such a MAN Dontcha know.
This could run... without editing... as a routine on Saturday Night Live.
The TWO BIGGEST GAS BAGS in the Reich Wing Party insulting each others' testicles! Only in America!
give them rusty swords and let'em get to cutting .
The betting line , will sean run or will rush croak , i'll take rush croaking , double down ( sean falls on sword running away a thousand to 1 , 100$ lets see it ) assholes .
I like when RushPills goes after his people and watch as they end up begging for forgiveness from their Oxycontin abusing Overlord.
When female identity becomes a political insult to two such media creeps, it underscores their attitude package toward womanhood in general. All you have to do is look at crime profiling--over 80% male; violent crimes--95% male; terrorism in this country--99% male since the Weather Underground--to comprehend that maybe, just maybe, this good ol' USA needs to become more chickified, even Lady Liberty-fied, and especially, but not at all exclusively, in the black male on black male crime areas.
This looks like another good spot for an advertiser --girlcott? Neither of these jerks should ever be laid again in their lifetimes, and even the prostitutes should be rejecting their business.
A better Tea Party: dump these two overboard in New York harbor, at the foot of the Statue.
Your quote:
"The biggest single cause of this recession was the mania for deregulation -- particularly within the financial sector -- and the breakdown of firewalls within that sector that had been erected to protect consumers and the industry itself back during the FDR era. "
The REAL biggest single cause of this recession was the fact that oil prices went up to $145 a barrel, resulting in costs at the fuel pump going up to over $4.50 in some areas. This resulted in massive cutbacks in purchases by people all over the world, resulting in cutbacks at manufacturers, etc. In addition, with massive oil increases, people no longer purchased automobiles, especially SUV and large trucks. The result of that was layoffs and massive capitaliztion caviation at GM and other companies.
The bank crisis only collapsed when the price of homes fell well below the threshold (20%) of home value and people began to walk away from their homes. If homes had continued to increase in value or the drop had been less severe, then foreclosure rates would be lower.
The real reason we are in this mess is because the oil tycoons ripped us off, all the while you were looking at bank statements.
This post is absolute garbage. It wasn't "conservatism" that caused this mess. It was some of the people that claim to practice conservatism that caused it (and they sure as shit weren't practicing actual conservatism).
Liberalism NEEDS conservatism to keep itself in check, the same way that conservatism NEEDS liberalism. As long as you keep up this Liberal vs Conservative fight to the death in your country you will never have anything even close to resembling democracy. It is this "I only stand for what enemies stand against" that has allowed your politicians to completely ignore and abuse you. Democrats aren't listening to you on health care reform because they know you don't vote on the issues, you vote against the other guy. So why not line their pockets with with insurance company money? What are you going to do, vote conservative? And all the while, posts like this, whether intentional or not, are branding conservatism as "evil" taking away any real choice.
Stop being the left-wing Glenn Beck.
