Good ole Joe Scarborough! He did it again this morning, but this time, it made me laugh.
For those that wonder how I can stand to watch this pompous GOP gasbag so early in the morning, it's because his best gems come VERY early on in the show. For the past three days he's popped off with some lovely fuck-up (that his producers are quick to correct at the nearest commercial break, I'm sure).
Yesterday, it was his misquote of Michelle Obama's statement about being proud of her country for the first time in her adult life. Even though her original statement sounded bad, what Joe twisted it into was purely disgusting. I didn't enjoy hearing what he said, but it certainly gave me insight into how he thinks.
Today it was beautiful! While Joe was busy pontificating about how effective McCain's new "Celebrity" ad is, and trying to illustrate the idea that celebrities/rock stars are substanceless, bubble-headed nothings that couldn't care less about the world they live in, he compared Obama to U2 frontman Bono!
This diary would be disgustingly long if I listed all the political and charitable things in which Bono is involved, but for a brief Wikipedia recap, click here. Thanks Joe!
I strongly encourage anyone who wants a good laugh at this horribly-quaffed buffoon's expense (yeah, and he had the gaul to talk about Tim Kaine's hair being bad!) watch Morning Joe before 6am CDT. It's good stuff! And it's before Harold Ford comes on, so you don't have to watch Joe and Harold fellate each other on the air:)
