On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough joked about the media’s fascination with John McCain. “I think every last one of them would move to Massachussets and marry John McCain if they could,” he said. Watch it:

Does this mean Joe endorses gay marriage?

January 7th, 2008 at 10:57 amJoe now says smart things on a frequent basis, what gives?
January 7th, 2008 at 10:58 amMarriage? Nah — the media are way too fickle for anything as permanent as that. McCain may be the media darling du jour, but next week it will be somebody else.
January 7th, 2008 at 11:00 amWill McCain be Rudy’s fourth wife? Stay tuned.
Oh, and FOX NEWS SUCKS!

When’s the NH primary? McCain’s supposed to do well there, so the press corps will be chewing on that for a while – either way it goes.

January 7th, 2008 at 11:18 amSounds more like soft-pedaled fascism to me.
January 7th, 2008 at 11:20 amI thought the press already married to Bush & Cheney.

his illegitimate black baby?
January 7th, 2008 at 11:21 amThey can have him.
January 7th, 2008 at 11:33 amSince when did Holy Joe become a spokesman for the press?
January 7th, 2008 at 11:33 amJoe’s mental scars must be deeper than originally diagnosed.
January 7th, 2008 at 11:36 amGlenn Greenwald at Salon just wrote about WHY these so-called political journalists are infatuated with McCain: he flatters them. He strokes their massive egos, just like Bush did (and does with the White House Lap Dogs). These pawns are emotionally at the age of an immature fourteen-year-old, and so they suck up to a sad old has-been who wants to stay in Iraq for a hundred years.
January 7th, 2008 at 11:38 amJoe may be making a valid point, but his choice of analogy is crap. He’s engaging in gay bashing here. Belittling gay marriage is just schoolyard bully posturing and it shouldn’t be ignored or condoned, by anyone, for any reason.
January 7th, 2008 at 12:18 pmI wonder what size codpiece McCain wears while campaigning?
January 7th, 2008 at 12:18 pmOn Sunday morning, Russert and some of his trained poodles talked about how old and grey Hillary Clinton’s campaign was and how bad that was. Later, Russert had a wonderful conversation with McCaine which highlighted his “experience.” McCaine sings songs about mass-murdering women and children in Iran and thinks it would be just fine if we had troops in Iraq for 100 years – and these corporate whores are going to sell him as the best Repube candidate – great, bring him on!
January 7th, 2008 at 12:41 pmScarborough is a twat.
January 7th, 2008 at 12:47 pmJoe Scarborough is making some fairly accurate and acute observations, these days. Bet his days are numbered, being on the same network as Russert & Matthews, the two most flagrant enamoratti of “Straight-talking-no-matter-how-many-different-positions-he-takes” John McCain.
If McCain did get elected, we’d better hope Lieberman ISN’T VP – McCain’s pretty old.
January 7th, 2008 at 12:55 pmThey deserve one another!
January 7th, 2008 at 4:00 pmBut, Joe. That would be polygamy. Isn’t that Mitt’s bailiwick?
January 7th, 2008 at 4:55 pmIt really doesn’t matter what the Republicans say. They are all losers. If you don’t want to lose money Joe, then don’t put your money on the Republicans. They will be the losing pony in the November elections.
