Are they finally waking up? Or have they known about her popularity all along but strived to hide it from the public? Why end that now? I'm sure the internal polls are at least part of the reason that Mr. Obama can't sleep.

[Cheetahcat]

Joe and you are ,The Democrat party and Franks butt boy,Stupid little Man!

[Cicero]

Joe Scarborough is the media’s Barack Obama.

I predict a Monday Palin hate-fest on MSDNC. She was on Hanity Friday. Usually when she appears on his show, MSDNC runs a loop from it all day, with various Democrat analysts and Liberal comentators explaining how stupid she is and how much they hate her and how she'll never amount to anything. It's comical.

I'm actually a bit surprised that Scarborough said much positive about her. Even back handed like that. Must be his time in Iowa has made him forget that as a MSNBC employee, he is contractually obligated to denigrate Palin.

Will somebody f*****g stick a sock in this guy’s mouth?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Mourning Joe lost it a long time ago when he went over to the Dark Side. I don’t pay attention to anything that he or anyone else at PMSNBC says. They babble and drool too much over there.

[SAJ]

Nah. Scarborough Fairy is just a media turd du jour.

[Argus]

Yeah, if Obama was competent, patriotic, honest, smart and eloquent, he’d be like Sarah. But he isn’t.

[EGPWS]

Joe Scarborough is the media’s Barack Obama.

Scarborough is in the media?

I thought he was 0bama's assistant press secretary!

[hosepipe]

Damn Scarborough is out of pixie dust...
And his wand is making farting sounds..

[bigbob]

I suppose he meant that in a nice way...Cuz if he meant she’s our equivalent of an incompetent, inexperienced, illegitimate, unqualified, over-his-head Kenyan dopehead, I think I disagree ;-)

[dainbramaged]

Say, Joe - tell us about that dead girl in your office a few years ago, would you?

[CharlesWayneCT]

The problem with people who were gleeful with Scarbourough trashing Michelle Bachmann yesterday is that then you get him trashing Palin today.

[Polybius]

Ummmm ... Vet, you are confusing celebrity status and notoriety with with perceived competence.

You also completely missed why the author thought that it was the "worst possible backhanded compliment to Sarah Palin".

If Charlie Sheen were to show up a your State Fair, the media and the fair goers would be mobbing him for a photo op or for an autograph.

“The one star in the Republican Party right now” (Like Charlie Sheen)

That does not mean that they would trust Charlie Sheen with any responsible job.

“Questionable ability to govern” (Like Barack Obama)

Have you missed even one Palin thread since she was nominated for VP in 2008? I'd call that an obsession, friend.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Another problem with your argument is that Barack Hussein Obama is currently the president of the United States, or don’t you get newspapers there in Fantasyland?

Joe Scarborough is the RINOcerati’s anal sphincter.

Joe Scarborrow is TV’s Joseph Pujol.

(Just uses a different orifice.)

[Sea Parrot]

Because they have come to realize Sarah Palin is going to run, and when she announces, no one will be able to deny her star power.
