LOL...I know, and you do a great job. I very much appreciate what you do...because I have a hard time finding someone to say "can you believe that?" to...while watching Hairball.

I always look for your thread after an especially bizarre show..

THANK YOU!

[Brilliant]

How much you want to bet that if UBL is captured between now and the election, the Dems will claim that it was only an election ploy by the GOP?


That would be "not welcoming."

Scarborough's been bought! I don't listen to him anymore.

But for some reason, Joe abjectly backtracked later in the segment: "I've got to apologize very quickly for my remark about Democrats wouldn't be happy about Osama Bin Laden being caught. I'm cranky today. I didn't mean it."

Joe's cranky, he needs a good enema.

I'm just surprised he didn't backtrack so far as to suggest that Karl Rove has Osama stored away at Camp David to pull him out at the right moment before the election.

Going off the air will be "Rita Cosby: Live & Direct

Bummer. Throaty, breathless Rita is gone. What will we do?

;-)

No one should be surprised at Joe's backtrack. Joe is a lap dog for the dems. His audience is most certainly not of the conservative persuasion. He ran all of us off a long time ago...

I don't remember. How did Joe act when Sandy Fancy Pants Berger was all puffed up with documents at the National Archives.

Wonder what poor Rita will do now? She really screwed up by leaving Fox News. She was barely holding on in that market, which is a helluva lot larger than PMSNBC. Wonder whatever made her think that her lack of audience was the network's fault? Must be a blonde thing....

Good post. Scarborough is a "can't we all just get along" wimp.

[hershey]

Why apologize for telling the truth? That's the trouble with republicans...they want to be Mr. Nice Guy. Which gets them nowhere.

Very well put! I think you are onto something - - Joe is clearly more interested in courting Democrat viewers than conservatives. You will NEVER hear him apologize to conservatives for anything.

Never question the patriotism of a Demoncrat.

Of course, you'd have to find a Demoncrat with an ounce to patriotism of which to question.

I do not believe that the Democrats individually or the Democrat Party wants OBL to be captured or killed. He is one of them.

I do believe, infact I know , as much as you can know somthing that the Democrats individually and the Democrat Party rejoice each time an American Serviceman/woman loses their life in either Afganistan or Iraq.

Might be a good time to buy Hostess stock. got a feeling there's gonna be a strain on the Twinkie futures.

[KoRn]

Why apologize for that? The Democrats would be distressed if he were captured or killed.

[JaguarXKE]

Yes, except for the fact that he later backed off his own statement!

He must have nads the size of grape seeds!

Jag!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hey Joe, that was pathetic.and so is your show.
