Scoldborough

Via Paddy, here’s Scoldborough and Matthews debating healthcare reform this morning:

Joe likes to say that he’s opposed to the Bush administration spending, but he supported almost every individual measure along the way. He supported the invasion and occupation of Iraq, he supported the formation of DHS, he supported $1 trillion in tax cuts for the super rich, and, most importantly, he supported the reelection of George W. Bush in 2004. And if he was so fundamentally opposed to government spending, he should’ve endorsed Ron Paul in 2008.

    I had to stop listening 3 minutes in. Listening to Scarborough talk over everyone and then have the audacity to tell Chris to let him finish just becomes too much.At this point you can pretty much use this template for any post on Joe.”Scoldborough had [insert left learning or moderate guest name] on Morning Joe. Joe [insert form of hypocrisy] while proclaiming he is a moderate. If Scoldborough truly felt his way he would have [insert action taken if he really wasn't a right wing schill].”

    Exactly. If Scarborough was opposed to spending, why didnt he oppose Bush’s raiding of the US Treasury? That’s why it is empty. I’m glad to see Chris Mathews on board. He’s right; we gotta get it done. The Democrats have a better handle on what government is for: taking care of people by providing basic rights. Whereas the Republicans have touted the responsibility of the government is only to make laws. Usually, it seems, on morality. Rights versus Morality. Rights must be protected before moral judgements are thrown around. They need to take care of their own backyard there.

    It was priceless! I loved that the “Star Search Spokemodel” Mika, had the nerve to start yelling to Scarborough, “I got this, I got this”! My sister and I were laughing hysterically! When Matthews told her that she was one of the people “Pussy Footing Around” about healthcare she was speechless! Here’s a tip Mika, try using some of that tough talk on Joe! He’s the one that reduces you to a puddle of lipstick and highheels every day…not, Chris Matthews! Scarborough’s constant showing of that poll was really stupid. I was so glad when Matthews said “you keep showing those poll numbers but 76% of Americans want healthcare with a public option”. Scarborough doesn’t show polls that wreck his stupid arguments! It was nice to see this douchebag get a taste of his own medicine with Matthews screaming over him and constantly interrupting him!

    I think one of the comments Tweety made that might have been lost in the shuffle but should be pulled out and get played over and over very LOUDLY is..The right wingers always find money to pay for their wars, but when it comes to something like this there is no money.I am paraphrasing that..but you get my gist.. that’s pretty close to what he said. Someone else said something like that a few days ago and I can’t remember who it was now. But it is true. We always find money for wars and for weapons for the war.. just now Congress is voting on putting money back in the Defense budget for the F-22′s that Bob Gates and the president cut because it is not needed or wanted anymore. I forget, something like $2 Billion put back in.. not enough I know but it’s the point.

    Please, please, if you have the time put up the text when you have a clop of these two. I can’t stand listening to Joe and Mika – He’s an Idiot and she’s the Idiot’s Servant.
