The Joe S. stink will never subside no matter his attempts to move to the center. His browbeating on Mika, manlove for the undeserving racist Pat Buchannan & really annoying revisionist memory is all you really need to know about snobby right-winger Joe.

You know, I doubt that I'll ever consider Joe Scarborough a credible or respectable news source.

Not just because of the dead intern in his office that led to him “deciding to spend quality time with his family” instead of seeking re-election.

Not just for the startlingly sexist way he treats Mika on his show (and the weird Stepford wife role she willingly plays on that show, which also reflects badly on Joe).

More because of his alarmingly hypocritical views expressed in his loudmouth, obnoxious manner.

But seeing these tweets helps me understand that he is at least somewhat aware of the world around him. He cannot survive on MSNBC if he doesn't eventually draw a line between the GOP idiots who are getting attention in the media by saying and writing absurd things, and himself.

He needs to come across as different from the people who pretend they haven't seen evidence that the President is a U.S. citizen or who pretend that they believe Obama's health care plan is aimed at killing everyone's grandmother. Naturally, Obama must want us all to lose our grandmothers, since he lost his recently.

Mr Scarborough. I watch your show every morning, thank for standing for what is just and right. The president is being attack more so by race and not ploicies, and I wish it would stop.

Joe must have forgotten his meds and come back to sanity for a few minutes. Tomorrow he will be attacking Obama again and giving BJ's to Pat Buchanan.
