Did anybody besides me remember that Joe Scarborough resigned his seat shortly after the Gary Condit scandal broke; you remember, the one with all the rumors about other representatives who were involved and were using Condit's apartment for "fun?"

Joe Scarborough was a really good friend of Gary Condit's; they partied together.

Joe did quit abruptly...did he give a reason?

It's been posted all over this site. The guy was lighter than air intellectually in any event. Always has been. I never had any use for him ever. He bored me to death. He was pretty good with his rock band though.

Scarborough had the reputation of a "renegade" when he was in Congress.

I don't like "renegades." I like solid, reliable Republicans, like Tom DeLay and J.D. Hayworth.

Joe quit under suspicious circumstances, and has been a marginal conservative ever since. He gets on a jag about something (like Gibson's "Passion of Christ") and wears it out. He's been a tireless advocate against Michael Moore, but, then, he pulls this "turns the boat toward shore" nonsense.

Maybe he had some bad clams or something, or is caught up in the Democrat hoopla, or he feels like he can't be the roach at the picnic.

I just find his comments tonight beyond the pale of his role as a commentator.
