Blame America First

Posted on 04/29/2009 at 8:38 am by Bob Cesca

Yesterday, Joe Scarborough got all kerfuffled by preemptively blaming various people for the next terrorist attack. First he blamed Washington Post reporter Dana Priest, who broke the story about waterboarding and torture in 2002, then, in an apology for his Dana Priest remark, he blamed a crapload of others.

Remember when we were suggesting that George W. Bush could’ve prevented 9/11 had he listened to Richard Clarke and others? Remember when we suggested that American foreign policy blowback contributed to 9/11? Remember when television and radio wingnuts like Joe Scarborough accused us of “blaming America first?”

I don’t see anything in Scarborough’s comments yesterday indicating that he’s preemptively blaming anyone for the next attack other than Americans. Weird how that works.

    But they’re not REAL ‘Mericans, Bob. Because they don’t realize that torturing people is the only way we can continue to be a Christian nation. Or something.

    If there’s such a thing as a quadruple-talker, Republicons definitely live up to the term.

    I think the last line of his statement just really takes it over the top… remember how he and all the ones on Faux Noise have been on the teleprompter … and he wants to blame his lapse of brain on the fact he works 5 hours a day ..whoopee.. and he talks without a teleprompter..what was Buchanan’s excuse for trying to blame Pres. Obama? His racist leanings?

    Doucheborough not only doesn’t bring anything to the table, he removes much of what was brought by others.Listening to Doucheborough speak on any topic is like taking “stupid” pills. The more you listen to him the less intelligent you become.Doucheborough is an assault on America’s intelligence. He must be removed from television before we are surrounded by nothing but idiots. It’s almost too late.
