        Did anyone catch Joe's spirited defense of cheney in his debate with Lawrence O'Donnell - I think it was in the 7-7:30 block where Joe goes all George Costanza and claims:

        "Lawrence, it's not a lie if you believe it."!!!

        I swear to God

        I almost choked on my coffee from Morning Joe Costanza.

        Oy, what a farcockteh putz.

      Not withstanding his "misspoken" acknowledgement on the cost of Doctors pay fix, Scarborough consistently miss-speaks and in many cases is flat out wrong- and today's show is no exception. This idiot attacked the President for ignoring Republicans criticism (which is all they do). Republicans want the President to listen to them and hurry and send more troops to Afghanistan. The commander and chief campaigned on "doing things differently in Washington". In other words he will take time and think things through before making a commitment.
      Then Scarborough had a heated discussing with a guest on his show defending former vice-president Dick Cheney's irresponsibly and reckless decision to go to war with faulty intelligence.
      Scarborough is nothing but a hateful bonehead.

        Despite all evidence that Dick Cheney is one of the most unpopular politicians since Nixon, Joe will still stand up for him. What does a Repub have to do to get on a "do not resuscitate" list?

      Morning Joe need to be more concern about his ratings. Robin Meade at CNN Express has pass Morning Joe in the rating this week.

      Oh so I get it. So the White House and government are going to pay off the Dr's so that they will support this goverment run option. Yeah, sounds like things are changing in Washington, eh?

      Get real. Hey, I got one question for you all the people who are supporting Obama. Why aren't you going crazy right now over him not pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan immediately after he took office. He said he was going to do it and now it's been 10 months and he hasn't. So basically he lied and you are letting him get away with it. I have no problem if any of you think we shouldn't be over there, but don't let your guy get a pass if that's what you truly believe.

      Also, manofmystique, nothing has changed in Washington. They rammed through the stimulus bill in no time just like Bush did the previous one in Nov/Dec and the only thing that did was give more money to the companies that helped put us here in the first place. Washington will always be the same no matter who is in office. They are a bunch of crooks who are in the back pockets of all the big CEO's and vice versa.
