Scarborough: Katrina Video ‘Won’t Hurt Bush So Much,’ Shows ‘Brownie Did A Heckuva Job’
Scarborough: Katrina Video ‘Won’t Hurt Bush So Much,’ Shows ‘Brownie Did A Heckuva Job’
Last night Joe Scarborough explained how “Bush-bashing bloggers and their allies in the press” are missing the real story from the new Katrina video. According to Scarborough, it’s a net positive for the Bush administration. Watch it:
Actually, what the tapes really show is that both Bush and Brown knew about Katrina’s potential devastation and still did nothing.
Full transcript below:
SCARBOROUGH: But first, Bush-bashing bloggers and their allies in the press. They’re already hyperventilating over the Katrina tapes. Or as one on this network breathlessly called them “The Bush tapes.” The Bush tapes! Just released today. Takes us all inside the President’s meetings with his top aides, the day before Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast.
[snip - Clip from Katrina video]
SCARBOROUGH: Now I’ve spent the past six months kicking the President squarely in the pants for his terrible reaction to Katrina. I suggest to my peers in the press breathe into a paper bag and take notes from one who was in the hurricane zone the day it hit and who sat through too many FEMA briefings the day before hurricanes who were about to slam into my hometown. And as one who’s been there and done that, two things are painfully clear from these tapes. First — Homeland Security Director Chertoff was out to lunch, literally. And two, former FEMA director and current goat Michael Brown was deadly accurate in his predictions. So these Bush tapes won’t hurt Bush so much as they will prove that Brown did a heckuva job, at least in predicting the aftermath of Katrina. So, my question tonight, why wasn’t Washington listening to Brownie? And why are we just now hearing tapes they told us no longer existed?

March 2nd, 2006 at 10:52 amUM – he’s right. The left has gotten everything they are going to get out of this. It is quite clear, Bush was not alone on screwing this up. Ultimately, voters will not hold him responsible for an attack by Mother nature.
The video is an obvious hack job by the AP. MovOn.org would have been able to put something togehter a little better than this. But please hang on to false hopes and push this video. We have something up our sleeves that we’ll roll out before election day that will cost Louisiana Democrats every top office in the state!
March 2nd, 2006 at 10:52 amScarborough is on the “Shock for Ratings” bandwagon at MSNBC. He was actually severely bashing Bush and Brown and Republicans shortly after the flooding.
The real story is this from MSNBC:
Yesterday, Matthews and Mitchell teamed up to say that not selling our ports to UAE would cause Muslim riots.

Curse that liberal media… (sarcasm off)
March 2nd, 2006 at 10:59 ammore proof that some neoCONs put party before country…more proof that the lying, thieving, scheming neoCONs won’t even try to win an election…more proof that neoCONs are truly UN-American…you are a sad one sam/ned, really sad…
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:00 amHe is probably right, how much lower could Bush’s numbers go? The few dixiecrats and stupid repukes that still like him would follow him into hell before they admit they were wrong. People like Joe and Chris Matthews would lead the pack.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:00 am#3 Wait…
Are you suggesting that this is a doctored video?
Wow, you’re grasping at straws now, aren’t you?
So, when there is evidence that the President was told the day before Katrina that there was a chance the levees could break, and then FOUR DAYS LATER Bush says that “No one could have anticipated the levees would break,” you and the other right-wingers give him a free pass (yet again)?
Wow. George Bush could be caught on high-definition video eating babies while screwing a goat and the neo-cons would defend it.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:00 amJoey the Scab got the President he wanted. He got the results he knew would happen.
STFU, Joe.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:01 amThe thing that is also missed by the media is the fact that the transcripts released by the whitehouse from 8/29 which are being spun to show the the Pres. was engaged in the response to Katrina and that he didn’t just have one meeting. However these are the same tapes and transcripts that the WH refused to release to the commission investigating the disaster based on privilege or Nat. Sec. How convenient that all of a sudden it is not so important to keep those transcripts secret.
Typical Orwellian behavior of the Bush Admin.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:01 am#5 – no, your time is coming. After Snoozy Ginsburg steps down this summer, Bush will appoint another conservative and dare Democrats to make a stink about it right before the election. Vulnerable red states senators across the map welcome a liberal temper tantrum over the Courts – it will ensure victory for them.
Then after that Justice is seated, a true 5-4 conservative majority will be formed and will likely be padded when Stevens goes.
There is NOTHING you can do about it. Conservatives win or Democrats get blungeoned at the polls. Take your pick.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:03 amThat’s NOT.
I want to make this clear.
Matthews and Mitchell said we must sell our ports to UAE or else the Muslims will be offended and riot.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:03 am“these Bush tapes won’t hurt Bush so much”
The guest on Olberman’s Countdown last night said a similar thing- that Bush has already lost so much support that there isn’t much farther he can sink.
The only people supporting him now either have their heads in the sand or a desperate to find the ‘good’ in all of Bush’s mistakes, like commenter #3.

March 2nd, 2006 at 11:05 amLook NED, we know your obsession with Republican Judicial Activism. Try a new theme, will ya? When we’re fighting in the streets of America I’ll be coming for you.
Hey Joe, if you want some bashing from the bloggers, how did that dead girl get in your office? How much did that autopsy report cost you?
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:08 amScarborough is a Bush apologist, so who cares what he says or thinks on his phony talk show! Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina’s destruction was pathetic and dim-witted! He did not care about those who suffered in New Orleans without food or bottled water! Bush must resign like Heck of a job Brownie did!
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:08 amForget the content of the video – those long shots of Bush in that tiny rat hole at his “ranch” make him look like the insignificant little nothing he is. I found it very bizarre, claustrophobic in a way. And then that guy curled up in a chair behind Bush with a camera super-glued to his eye. Image-wise, this was not a good video for the Bush faithful.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:09 amSomeone should start a new daytime soap opera based on the white house. I know the ratings would sky rocket. There’s new material every day. Some new drama, lies, criminals, terrorists…
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:09 amWe could get Larry Hagman from Dallas to play Cheney, one of the wayans brothers to play Condi, Patty Duke to play Laura, Dustin Hoffman to play the whiney Brownie, Judi Dench could be Barbara…. who could play Bush?
I’m sure someone would do one heckuva job!
When will conservatives wake up and realize that Bush is incompetent? These tapes show that he lied. l

Sammy, that’s when lynch mobs start coming after you and your kind.
Me, I’ll try and stop them, but I won’t get killed doing it.
Now, if our current resident troll is saying that this video won’t hurt bush within Phaux Pnews demographic, he’s probably right. But what is that? 1 million people? And of that, how many places have Phaux Pnews up as background music (of sorts) and are counted in that demographic?
My point is that Sammy, you are a fool. This is a smoking gun.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:10 amWith Bushco’s approval rating at 34 percent, Republican politicians must be quaking in their boots. If the electorate is so peeved at Bush they aren’t likely to vote for any Republican. Why is Sam Alito predicting inevitable disaster? Is he just a pessimist?
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:13 amUnfortunately, Fox News is all over the airports in the US that I go to and the Fox Sports Bars are everywhere. You can hear it everywhere: “Big Brother Loves You…”
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:14 amHey Joe: blog this
Lucky for you that ‘Condit Moment’ seemed to pass you by…
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:18 amKindness – just like the August 6th memo gave us President Kerry? NOT a smoking gun. Unfortunate act by Mother Nature or if you believe former heroin junkie RFK jr, a result of Bush’s enviro policies.
I dare liberals to make attempts to assasinate conservative justices. We all know it’s the next step after we take the Courts from and your pro-death ilk. The only problem is that will backfire and help advance the conservative agenda.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:19 amTerrytheTurtle,
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:19 amThat’s true. But this is one of the things Schultz talks about quite a bit. The juxtapostion of the market saturation of neocon messages against low approval numbers.
The image of Dubaiya sitting vacuously in his situation room down on the ranch is eerily reminiscent of his classroom time on 9/11…..
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:20 amWaiting for Chainy or Karl to call with instructions, not much to say, no questions to ask, other than the one he can’t ask out loud:
“Why can’t I just go out bike riding or cut some trees down with my chainsaw?”
“Oh well, ‘One Day At A Time’, and, oh boy, I got a birthday party to go to tomorrow! And John likes me, or well, at least I think he does…..”
Yeah, I guess NOW we need to focus on what a heck of a job Brownie really did and not pay attention to the worthless, piece of shit president behind the curtain.

March 2nd, 2006 at 11:25 amThe conservative agenda is advancing. It is in process of approaching an abyss that will seal its doom.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:26 amYes Bush eating cake with Sen. McCain was more important to him than those drowning in New Orleans! Even McCain himself should be ashamed > he should have told Bush to get back to DC ASAP, and if Bush refused, then thrown the cake in his face > lol.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:26 am#31 – er Ann Coulter did.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:30 am#32
Silly Terry, don’t bother neo-cons like Sammy Boy with facts. They don’t want to be bothered with those things.
They just want to spread hate, fear, and lies by any means necessary.
Oh, and then praise God. Can’t forget the Almighty while you are hate-mongering, lying, and cheating.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:31 am#31 – yawn. For a peace-nik nutjob, you sure make alot of threats.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:32 am37
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:37 amI’m not a peace-nik. I’ll be voting Republican for my district on March 7.
Look here, boy, don’t you EVER underestimate the conservative affinity to privacy. It is stronger and bigger than religious intrusion will ever be. Religious freedom is born of privacy rights.

Peacenik? I dont think he has presented himself as one. Are you saying those against the illegal Iraq invasion are peaceniks? Or do you know something about #31?
Soooo when are you weakniks going to stop holding hands with the Saudis and make them pay for 911? And when are you “tough” republicans going to make Pakistan pay for selling WMDs to Lybia, Iran, and North Korea?
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:38 am#33 Good Lord, this one passed me by.. and the guy goes on the television?
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:40 amMore of Bushco’s Hired Fodder mayhaps..
Agree tho it won’t hurt him much, relatively, the straws are piling up on his Broke Back quite rapidly now.
I’m just hoping and praying he’s not on a provocation mission overseas. The problem with letting little boys have guns is that they just gotta shoot ‘em, doesn’t matter what at…..
This actually makes me feel sorry for Brownie… just a little bit. He obviously didn’t get the support he was requesting. He was appropriately worked up about impending doom while everyone else vacationed.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:41 amLook here, boy, don’t you EVER underestimate the conservative affinity to privacy.
that would be funny if it wasn’t so … not … Conservatives value PRIVACY??? yeah, that’s why they want to ban gay marriage, they want to ban abortions, they have NO problem with the president ordering the wiretapping of US citizens …

Conservatives value their OWN privacy. And the ones who are not stupid know they cannot intellectually deny privacy without depriving their own. Or else this happens:

It is true though. Conservatives here in Indiana HATE their privacy being threatened. They truely believe WACO was an attack on christians in general. They some how think all of this technology that is making it harder to maintain privacy is some kind of plot by godless people that want to use science to stamp 666 on their heads and hands.
BUT when it comes to people that are not right wingers they could not care less what is done to them. You see the right wingers dont see themselves as Americans first. They see the American government as being “Rome”. When they talk about paying taxes they qoute where Jesus said to give Rome its money since it is the “law of the land” … It is as if they think they are Jews stuck in Egypt and they are just waiting for the Jews to be wiped away from Israel so the right wingers can be swept into heaven.
Their loyalties are not with America. If that was the case they would fight for the privacy of ALL Americans. But they dont love America. They dont appreciate the importance of the U.S. Constitution or the Bill of Rights. They barely know what they are or say… they truelly think that the bible is more important even though the bible didnt protect anybody from the slaughter the religious fundamentalists have commited against humanity for the past few thousand years.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:54 amAlito, sorry to tell you, but your king will probably be in jail before he can appoint any more justices.
March 2nd, 2006 at 11:56 amHey, don’t give IJWIP crap about being FOR privacy. We all are. I’ll take conservatives support on that issue.
Now if the crowds are asking why conservatives aren’t saying more of this in their own forums, well, yea, I’d like to know that answer too.
I mean, we hear it from folks like Pat Buchanan, but he’s practically libertarian. What happened to all those “conservatives” when bush43 got elected? It appears to us as if they tucked their tails between their legs and allowed their master to kick them around all the time.
Sorry, that isn’t conservatism, that’s servitude. For all the crap they gave President Clinton for lying about consentual sex (not a national security issue in my mind), saying NOTHING about half the things this administration has done, which are inherently NOT CONSERVATIVE….well, actions speak louder than words people.
Note to sammyalioto – quit before you get thrown off the board. You just another Hitler Youth punk.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:00 pm#50 – That leaves Cheney.
#51 – had liberals not made such a fuzz over Clarence Thomas’ pubic hair, we might not have impeached Clinton. Sorry, that knife cuts both ways.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:03 pm#52, Clinton’s was consentual, Thomas’s was assault.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:08 pm53)
Yes but Thomas is on their “side” so that makes it gods work.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:10 pm#53 – was Juanita Broderick’s claim that Clinton raped her consentual? What about Paula Jones? Kathleen Willey?
Terry – just shut your trap and leave the politics to me. Partisan douche bag.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:11 pmSamuel, personal attacks make you seem so measured and believeable – why should anyone take you seriously with your irrational hate on display so regularly?
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:13 pm#56 – I repeat, was Juanita Broderick’s claim that Clinton raped her consentual? What about Paula Jones? Kathleen Willey?
You know you’re wrong, now admit it please.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:14 pmClinton would appear to be innocent until proven guilty don’t you think? Since you are a judge, you might wish to consider some of the basics.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:17 pmAlito could be the REAL Justice Alito on here? If so then boy the Senators blew it by putting him onto the Supreme Court > lol.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:18 pmCouldn’t the same be said about Clarence Thomas, Terry? Oh I forgot – the left only gives due process to Democrats (as well as vicious murderers and terrorists).
But, you have proven my point. You don’t care about sexual harrassment, just partisan politics.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:19 pmGot your hood pulled up to tight today, Slammy?
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:19 pm#59, either that or you must have to wonder about the mentality of someone who posts as if they are or want to be someone else? If this is really Sam Alito, damn, what a fruitcake, he’s really never let go of hating Bill Clinton – that must poison you after a while. If its not Sam, then dressing up like a Supreme Court Justice – there must be a name for that one somewhere? I can’t take him seriously, especially if .as some have asserted, its North East Enema, finally succumbing to schizophrenia.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:22 pm#60, not at all, I simply pointed out your #52 post was based on a false equivalency. And now you seem to denying due process under the law to people based on how you pre-judge them – interesting position for a Supreme Court Justice
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:27 pmI am SO looking forward to the Republican’s losing seats in the Mid-Term elections!
Once the Republicans are relegated back to the minority party, the Democrats can say “we have political clout now” and maybe the ethics investigations will begin on the corrupt Republicans.
By the way, Sammy, be on the lookout for rat-poison in your food! Ann Coulter has said it would be a good thing, and has she ever been known to stretch the truth?!?! (Oh my! I busted a gut muscle laughing over that one!)
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:30 pmWhy is Chertoff not in the equation? Chertoff did nothing. He should have been fired with Brown.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:41 pm#65, Ming the Merciless is loyal to the Chimp, that’s why.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:42 pmSammyalioto – let’s compare presidents.
Clinton had didn’t bottle up his sexual thoughts. I’d call that unfortunate. Rape? Sorry, no one bought the rape thing. Particularly with the trailer park women who brought it.
bush43 – He lets Al Queda blow up the WTC, the Pentagon & a 4th plane. He lets the bankers of said group buy control of 6+ Nationally important port facilities. He ORDERS the spying on AMERICANS without a warrant. He orders the holding of an American (& countless foriegners) without the benefit of being charged with crimes, contacting family or seeing a lawyer. And a twit like you comes out and blindly supports the fascist.
Guy….you are feeble. Nothing Clinton did was a Nation Security issue. Your marionett (dumbya) can’t help but roll in his own crap and you still publicly say he smells like a rose.
Samalioto=hitler youth. no doubt about it. You AREN’T a CONSERVATIVE. You ARE a FASCIST supporter and sympathizer.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:42 pm#65 – You don’t fire all your toadies at once. You’ve got to keep a few sacrificial lambs to throw beneath the train when they get too close to you!
Pres. Bush needs to have a few more bodies around to throw to the lions before the last 1000 days of his Presidency run out! Can’t have too much coverage for your failures!
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:43 pmJoe Scarborough: a Wolf (Blitzer) in Fox clothing.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:44 pmprabhata,
Chertoff will likely be facing more heat soon. Remember the recent House report placed much of the blame on him:
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:45 pm
Joe Scarborough is an ambitious young lad. He wants O’Leilly’s job after he runs Fox “News” into the ratings dumpster. They’ll be desparate by then.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:48 pmJoe Scarborough would defend the captain of the Titanic. That iceberg didn’t announce itself.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:50 pmJoe Scarborough: Isn’t there some young, blonde teenager missing, and shouldn’t you be “demanding some answers” ?
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:53 pmI’m actually rather surprised that Scarborough is defending Bush now — if memory serves (and it usually does), he directed his own share of critical remarks towards Bush and Brown shortly after the storm. Here are someof his remarks from September 5, headlined “We deserve answers, Mr. President”:
“…the bottom line is that despite the fact the president was strapped with two governors who bungled this crisis badly, in the end it is the president who sends in the National Guard and FEMA relief.
The president’s suggestion that the size of this storm caught all by surprise just doesn’t get it. His administration was 48 hours late sending in the National Guard and poor Americans got raped and killed because of those mistakes.
A painful assessment from a supporter of the president, but also true.
…FEMA’s Michael Brown also shoulders the burden for the suffering in New Orleans. His claim that no one knew of the suffering on the ground until Thursday defies logic. America knew the crescent city was drifting toward chaos on well before Tuesday. Why didn’t the man in charge of disaster relief know the same thing?”
Here’s the link to the archive:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8791344/
Is Scarborough’s memory for what he saw on the Gulf Coast really that short? I suppose there’s no point in even asking — obviously, the answer is yes. If anything, this video should make Bush and Brown even more deserving of criticism in Scarborough’s eyes rather than less because it totally squashes the half-baked rationalizations they gave for their dilatory response. Scarborough’s comments made it clear that he didn’t consider the protestation of ignorance to be a legitimate excuse, and this video makes it clear that it was exactly that — an excuse. The only kind of ignorance which can be claimed by people who have been briefed ahead of time is wanton ignorance — they pretend that they don’t know because they don’t want the responsibility and accountability that comes with the knowledge.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:54 pmIf I was a guest/potential victim on Scarborough’s show, I’d ask him what’s it like to have dead girls in his office, especially those who worked for him.
I hope he’d have an O’Rielly breakdown on the air.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:55 pmJoe Scarborough: Keith Olbermann wishes you well in your new endeavors. Well, he wishes you would just go away, like the rest of America.
March 2nd, 2006 at 12:56 pmGWB: giving Conservatives a bad rap for generations to come. Thanks, I think.
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:01 pm#72 Too funny, let’s see:
9/11 didn’t announce themselves.
The Iraq insurgency didn’t announce itself.
Katrina didn’t announce itself.
The illegal wiretaps didn’t announce itself.
Hamas taking control didn’t announce itself
The outrageous port deal didn’t announce itself
And it goes on and on and on….
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:09 pmKindness – there is a straightjacket with your name on it. I pity people who are as radical and self hating as you are.

*****I think you’re confusing former congressman Scarborough with a fat, drunk Senator from Massachusetts.
#80 – thank you. The left never wants to talk about what a murderer the leading liberal voice in the Senate is.
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:20 pm#80 & #81 No, I’m rather clear, they don’t look anything alike.
And that’s exactly what the promo for Joe’s show said during the Holloway “case”.
What’s your point ?
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:28 pmLet’s not forget that when Brownie took over FEMA he presided over bogus payments to people who had suffered NO hurricane damage in the two major storms prior to Katrina. Payments to the tune of over $60 MILLION! Liberman and Collins know about this issue full well, and nothing has come of it since Katrina began to dominate coverage of the issue. So let’s not start patting him on the back just yet, simply because he had more foresight than a chimpanzee, and wondered aloud about the Superdome.
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:32 pm#82 – don’t smear Joe when the voice of the Democratic Party in the Senate is a manslaughtering drunk.
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:33 pm#84 OK, i’ll take a manslaughtering drunk over an incompetent genocidal drunk, or is GWB an ex-drunk now ?
BTW Joe smears himself quite well, I just enjoy pointing it out.

Comment by Samuel Alito — March 2, 2006 @ 1:33 pm ”
You’re almost as dumb as mighty tranny is.
How many DUIs has Ted been charged with, compared to George Bush or Dick Cheney? As for ‘manslaughter’, how many people has Ted shot with a gun, or killed because of a fake war and fake intelligence? Or while we’re on it, how about draft dodgers and AWOL soldiers. You guys are attacking the wrong drunks you fools.
It seems we have two real drunks and murderers running the show while idiot apologists like you to accuse innocent people of your own crimes. You’re both reichwing fools.
See the difference between the democrats is that we never elevated Ted to president despite the fact that the only crime he was convicted of was being in shock and leaving the scene of a crime. Bush and Cheney were both convicted of being drunks, and recently been proven as liars and war profiteers. Yet you accuse others of your own acts. You hypocrites and fools.
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:39 pmMighty Aphrodite & Samuel Alito – You seem to be more bothered by the one person that died as a result of Kennedy’s irresponsible behavior, than you are by the thousands of people that have died as a result of Bush’s irresponsible behavior.
You guys are Idiots!!!
How about we throw both of these murderers under the bus and call it even?
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:46 pmit won’t hurt Bush so much as long as he’s being protected by the Lord of Darkness for his eventual takeover of the globe…
evidence Bush is the Antichrist is on my site, btw
March 2nd, 2006 at 1:52 pm#82 – Just like the right never wants to talk about the bodies they leave laying about without ever having to take responsibility.
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:01 pmThis video proves that Horse Judge Brown did everything in his power to warn Bush and his administration that large-scale response needed to occur immediately (before Katrina made land-fall). Instead, our fearless leader sat on his hands, did not ask one question or suggest that action was neccessary, because of his “My Pet Goat” attitude of “wait and see.”
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:01 pmMy pardon! I should have refereenced #81.
See! I can admit when I make a mistake, unlike the right wing trolls who refuse to take responsibility for their actions or bahavior.
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:02 pm#84 – So, I take it you’re going to hold Scarborough responsible for the staffer that ‘mysteriously’ ended up dead in his office, right? Come on, lets hear you hold your side responsible for the deaths they caused. . . . .
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:04 pmI knew I was right to not believe Joe’s claims that the Katrina devastation changed him forever. He’s a hack. Dead aide with whom he was reportedly having an affair found in his office, sudden resignation from Congress immediately afterward, sudden divorce petition from his wife immediately afterward… yep, this guy is the moral compass I want to follow.
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:16 pmyea it’s become too tiresome. sammyalioto won’t talk about any policy, just slanders and over the top innuendo.
troll.
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:30 pm#86- I was going to point out some salient facts from Edgartown, but when I scrolled through, I saw which “challenged” person was posting. WOT….
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:31 pm#87 – GWSC – “Let’s Make a Deal”
Behind Door #1 – I’ll stop the Ted Kennedy comments when Progs cease the “drunk and drug” comments about GWB.
Behind door #2 – I’ll stop the fat, spoiled Ted Kennedy comments when progs cease the “silver-spoon” idiot remarks.
– AND -
Behind door #3 – I’ll stop the drunk, womanizing, Kopechne-slaughter comments when progs cease the murdering GWB and Laura Bush posts.
We both know it ain’t going to happen anytime SOON.
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:39 pm#80 – I think you’re ignoring Scarborough’s history with dead staffers, resignation from congress, mysterious circumstances of the autopsy and the corrupt medical examiner that did the autopsy, his divorce petition from his wife after all this.
Then again, your partisan brain ignores any information contrary to your biased perceptions so it’s not too surprising that you ignore this information. . . .
March 2nd, 2006 at 2:47 pmThe sad thing here is not that Scarbwhoro concluded that this video actually exonerates Bush, but that millions of Americans will somehow agree with him.
We have become a nation of non-thinking Idiots. Right Alito and Aphrodite?
Instead of basing our beliefs off of the evidence, many of us would rather form our beliefs and then selectively address only that evidence that supports them. For these people seeing is not believing, but instead beliving is seeing. They are incapable of acknowledging anything that might contradict their beliefs.
We need IQ tests at Voting Booths!!!

March 2nd, 2006 at 2:55 pm*****I think you’d find the Dems oppose this “BIG TIME”!!!!!!
#99 – Of course we would oppose this!
Democrats don’t want to repress the American voters ability to be represented at the polls, and forcing an IQ test would invalidate so many republican voters it would be incredibly unfair to them.
Don’t forget, it’s the Republican strategy to repress voter registration in order to stack the deck in their favor. The Democrats are the ones who want 100% participation of all registered voters.
March 2nd, 2006 at 3:01 pmProof that you troll for trollings sake. Way to go.
March 2nd, 2006 at 3:02 pm#101 – Of course! Adding thoughtful dialog is beyond the ability of the “partisan brain”. It’s a physical defect, and it causes the partisan brain to ignore any facts to the contrary of biased perceptions.
With such partisan activity on the part of MA and Alito, it’s no wonder they only troll for the sake of being trolls
March 2nd, 2006 at 3:05 pm#33TtT,
March 2nd, 2006 at 3:39 pmFascinating story! One I and I bet thousands of others have never heard! Buried by the Bush family cabal of experts at coverup. We were all getting all Chandra, all the time, when this story was overlooked.
Scarborough is a creep, he has always struck me as one I would not trust.
He owes a lot to the Bush family — so he will be hard pressed to find fault with Georgie won’t he?
Sammy is not a supreme court justice, our Sammy judges porcelain drinking contests, just ask him.
March 2nd, 2006 at 3:52 pm#103, It’s funny how many oddballs get their own TV/radio show these days: Scarborough, GG Liddy, North… Anyway hats off to Lisa at All Hat No Cattle..
March 2nd, 2006 at 6:23 pm#73 – “Joe Scarborough: Isn’t there some young, blonde teenager missing, and shouldn’t you be “demanding some answersâ€? — Schwede
I think you’re confusing former congressman Scarborough with a fat, drunk Senator from Massachusetts. — mighty aphrodite
*****************
That’s the best you can do?? That argument is about as solid, about as sensible, and about as effective as that of an embezzler lambasting a burglar for being a crook. It accomplishes next to nothing in terms of demonstrating the superiority of your side — all it really serves to do is accentuate your own desperate motivation to deflect attention away from the mistakes and misdeeds of those whom you support. I can’t stop you from blowing smoke if you want to — but the mistakes won’t miraculously go away or cease to exist simply because you’re afraid of what it would mean to acknowledge them. To paraphrase FDR, the person whose argument consists solely of insults is the one who’s run out of evidence to support their position but doesn’t have the courage to admit it.
Besides, the indisputable fact remains that Kennedy in spite all his faults keeps getting re-elected and is still in office — Scarborough can’t say the same. Sounds to me as though someone might have a touch of “sour grapes”…
March 3rd, 2006 at 12:12 amPerhaps Scabarough knows it will lead to questions of Bush’d credability, which is obviously a problem . . . for everyone.
