Okay, I have to admit it. The whole Chris Christie thing has been a lot of fun. And I do feel bad for the people waiting hours at the bridge and in Hoboken (for money). And I have new respect for Steve Kornacki. But my favorite part of this is watching Joe Scarborough become not so slowly unhinged and his Best Bro' Chris Chris go down in flames. Let's be honest Joe was already fantasizing about being the ultimate media flack for Chris, and then going to meet him as president for lunch for Brats and Beers. And going out in the presidential limousine and taking shots and laughing at all the lost democrats Woot! Woot! Woot!
And now it's all gone. Game over man. There's going to be some ball crushing chick in the White House. The Bros are getting to be out on the street. I think Joe knows that on a deep level and it's killing him man. It's like the run back of the field goal against Alabama. The Bro's are getting robbed man. And Joe doesn't see another Bro on the horizon (Rand Paul? The guy is a dentist fegawdsakes!!!! - the best he can hope for a a nitrice high). Bro man down! Bro man down! And Joe is going through a very public nervous breakdown. So I'm saying, let's start a pool based on when and where he goes through the final public collapse. Will it be this week? Will it be next week? Will it be on the set of morning Joe? Will it be on Twitter? Will it be in his column? Will it be on the Charlie Rose show? Inquiring minds want to know.
Okay, first how do we judge whether he has had a final collapse. Others can add their ideas but I'll get the ball rolling.
He walks off the set of Morning Joe during a discussion about Christie.
He sends out a profanity laced Twitter aimed at Steve Kornacki.
He invites Kornacki on Morning Joe and then physically attacks him. (Don't be lured on to the Morning Joe set Steve, these guys are Bro - serious. And if Joe does it Barnacle's going to do it right after and claim it was his idea).
He takes off all his clothes and goes running through thirty rock screaming "Bro man down, Brow man down!!
He spreads his own feces on a page and hands it in for his weekly column (strike that, he's already done that multiple times).
He admits that he gave Christie a blow job on national television.
He gives Christie a blow job on national television.
He has Markos Moulitsas as a guest to discuss his relations with office interns.
There are probably more. And maybe it's like pornography and we'll know it when we see it.
And when it happens - it will be another Bro-man down!!!
