A Serious Cup of Joe (Scarborough)

I???ve tried to watch his show but I can only do it once or twice a week. I find myself, from time to time, trying to figure out what drives him. Is it conservatism or is it blind loyalty to party or maybe there is a progressive just dying to come out and surprise us all.

But this morning I figured it out, he's a caricature of a buffoon???not an actual buffoon but a caricature of one.

He knows, in his mind, how the memos make the United States appear internationally, he knows that these guys are going to jail too, he knows that there is no way that torture can be justified and the biggest point of all is he knows his argument is devoid of reason.

A true buffoon would defend the policy, but he acts honestly, not knowing any better.

But in this case, he is a make believe buffoon, he knows his position is unsustainable, but he clings to it and then uses his notoriety to try to convince others through bravado and innuendo, by personally insulting those that disagree with him. His arguments are clownish because they have no foundation in sound law. He knows the question is not the efficacy of the policy, the question is was it legal or illegal.

He falls back to his normal attack position, regardless of the facts.

Every aspect of this case is contrary to his current position, he hopes to convince others through fear and coercion, but this time nobody is listening.

Joe Scarborough is a clown, people like him are a bigger danger than Al Qaeda. They are a virus that eats away at sound, reasoned, honest debate. People like him force this country to fight with one hand tied behind its back. By having political fights when the evidence is so clear borders on treason, he forces us to fight on two fronts and that is a waste of time and resources.

No one in their right mind (and that's you, Seth Coulter-Walls) would confuse what transpires weekdays on Morning Joe with "substance." Mika's father, Zbig put it best: Joe is "stunningly superficial" and not just about a few things, but everything. I grow weary of Mika's mealy-mouthed, "fraidy-mouse" performance and long for guests who have the gumption to tell Joe to shut up and learn something. Morning Joe is something to watch in the wee hours when insomnia haunts (it starts at 4 a.m. in my neck of the woods) and you're waiting for the alarm clock to sound. The best part of Morning Joe? When Tamron Hall picks up the coverage with the real morning news.

Pinnochio Joe is Schill for the Republican Party - His Buffoon like interrupting of anyone who disagrees with him and his connected at the hip friend Pat Buchanan speaks volumes about the show. By 6:05, I am able to identify "Exactly" the subjects for the day on Conservative Talk Radio --- that would be the three Stooge College Drop Out Heroes of talk Rush, Glenn and Sean.

I have to say, after trying out just about every morning news program out there, Morning Joe was the only one that was light hearted, (without being corny like Fox's morning show) and still had true serious discussion (which which you don't get with HLN or CNN) But the author hit it right on the mark, the middle of the road approach and the idealogical unpredictibility is what drives me back to Morning Joe day after day, keep up the good work guys!

I get the big four on cable in four stations in a row, so switching through all of them I get the gist of the daily rants.
Which is really all it is. there are no solutions, just jibber-jabber, and spotlighting favored items.
Apparently, none of Joe's "answers" had much of an impact while in office. This Olbermann character is a joke, and although good at the canard he foists on the public, he is just that.
Fox is so contrived, it should win an emmy for redundant plagiarism.
Robin & Co. is insipid, and vacuaous, no awards!
If Joe would quit the whine, I would take him more seriously.

I am so sick of this whinning little girl scout Joe Scarborough. What a spoiled childish acting fool wannabee congressman. The only problem they don't want him. Hey Joe quit crying about the poor poor rich that may have to pay their fair share. It is high time and If you were real Americans you would pay your taxes and ask is there anymore I could do. Joe you wouldn't make a pimple on Olbermanns butt. Joe maybe you Ditto headrush Limpburger can leave N.Y. and go to Florida where there are no taxes. Mika can handle the show on her own. Joe you can take your butt pirate buddy willie with you..

Obama is not even a Christian. He wouldn't know a Christian if one came up to him and slapped him in the face. Obama is stupid , he's a liar , he does not know how to conduct himself among foreign leaders...he's an amateur. Obama is a corrupt thug community organizer from Chicago and thats all he's good for.
The Vatican does not recognize Obama and the Vatican has turned away at least five picks by Obama for US Envoy to the Vatican. In other words Obama is a real ***.

I love morning Joe and am an every-morning viewer. The presentation of both sides of the fence (liberal and conservative) on issues is what draws me back time and time again. I must admit, I am addicted. Go Joe!!

I watched Morning Joe religiously during the run up to the election. But the week before the election, Scarborough did a 180 and the vitriole thrown at Obama blindsided his loyal viewers. Since then, he's become this whiney, pathetic revisionist and, for the life of me, I can't figure out what happened to that edgy, rational young man. Sad thing to watch, a guy who wants to be a politician once more. Get him off the air.

I used to watch Morning Joe but I've migrated back to Sportscenter in the morning. I find the conversation a bit too chaotic for that early in the moring. Too many folks talking at the same time, it gets to be too much. You got Mika's cell phone going off on the air...c'mon folks. And Joe is a bit too condecending and a bit of a smart alec. Nothing worse than rich, famous people on TV berading the President who is trying to help middle class Americans who find themselves teetering on the brink of poverty. I think I'll just check last night scores on a different network while eating breakfast.

I used to watch this show but I've come to the determination that the conversttion is way too chaotic for that early in the morning. And I kind of find Joe (and the rest of them) to be a bit condecending and out of touch with common people in this country. Nothing worse than famous rich people on TV constantly berading the President for trying to help everyday middle class Americans teetering on the brink of poverty. I'm back on Sportscenter now.

I have never been one to enjoy anything before 7 a.m., but I actually WANT to get up earlier than that to watch "Morning Joe". I am a middle aged female, a state legislator, moderately conservative and I am sick of so much demagoguery from the left and the right. Joe Scarborough gets it right! I love the serious discussion with different points of view. The rest of MSNBC pretty much blows, however.

I'm still hanging with Morning Joe, turned off all MSNBC evening shows during the summer. Someone please tell Keith O that the Democrats won and are running the country. Does he know?
