This morning with nothing but FACT in his pocket, Ed Schultz put the morning joke of morning joe on his heels. I talk about Joe Scarborough because a lot of what he says is utter bullshit and he is proven wrong more than right on many occasions. Let's look at some key moments of the brilliant political analysis of Joe Scarborough. (Caution: This diary is video intense.)
h/t SuperBowlXX for the code
MSNBC Video
Here with his analysis on Michelle Obama, who right now has higher polling numbers in the 70s than her husband, at the 3:15 mark:
Did you get that? Joe Scarborough hammered all of 2008 about Michelle Obama's phrase. And yes, Joe many Americans did jolt up, right to the ballot box and voted OBAMA.
Oh, and let us not forget Scarborough's remark that Obama never worked in the private sector. Which was a bald face lie. Yes, he was called on it.
Then of course, the Jeremiah Wright firestorm. It took Rachel Maddow to shut Scarborough down. Notice Scarborough on the Karl Rove talking points of "defining your candidate", meaning make it personal not policy and we notice that shit did not work.
How can we ever forget Keith Olbermann telling Joe Scarborough to "get a shovel", meaning go shovel your own SHIT!!
Another wonderful prediction by the best political analyst on television, "It's not the economy!!!" Folks, was Scarborough right?
Paul Krugman was not on that show long before he gave Scarborough a cup of STFU...
And of course, the big push by Scarborough that there is an "is, is" in the relationship of Obama and Blago. This is one of the videos when morning joke rambled ALL FUCKING MORNING LONG about the invisible, "there is something there....." The bottomline, NOBODY CARES....
Then Scarborough stepped his toe in the "Cramer vs. Stewart" Debate:
Of course, Stewart gave Scarborough a cup of STFU. View the video here. morning joke was smart, he smelled the tealeaves that is called, "being a butt of jokes for weeks". He quietly, STFU. He had to, Stewart lit that ass up!!
And then, let us not forget David Shuster calling Scarborough out and true to form morning joke goes into a temper tantrum....
and ZBIG, Mika's Dad told morning joke, "...stunningly superficial"...wonder if he even understood what he meant, but more importantly a shame Mika is not like her Dad...
Joe Scarborough's roses reek of the putrid stench of bullshit. The bottomline is that Joe Scarborough's political analysis is just talking points hoping to shovel it to those who don't have time to LISTEN to what he is actually saying which is NOTHING. morning joke? INDEED.
And Mika? There is not enough room to write about her. A journalist? PUHLEAZE. The way she bats her eyes at him, rubs up on him like an empty bot, makes one go, ummmmmm.
OK, my rant is done for the morning. eom.
