Scarborough: D.C.'s dark underbelly exposed
MSNBC ^ | 10/2/06 | Joe Scarborough

Posted on 10/02/2006 12:58:58 PM PDT by teddyballgame

I know Mark Foley. Mark Foley is a friend of mine. But in all my years working with him in Congress and on TV, I could have never foreseen this kind of scandal swirling around the friendly politician.

Mark and I entered Congress together in 1994 and spent the next four terms working together on legislation and political campaigns. Rumors about Mark's homosexuality followed him from his first day in the House and I even discussed the issue with him before he launched his Senate campaign in 2003.

Joe seems to be making his hay these days by piling on the Republican Party.

More like he's trying to innoculate himself.

Wasn't Scarborough also a friend of Condit's?

Given the odd timing of Scarboro's retirement from Congress.

I don't want to hear from him, unless he has something to confess.

I have always felt that Scarborough didn't have what it takes to be a true Republican. His belly is yellow.

I don't think he was prepared for the absolute visciousness of Democrats in Washington, and probably had a skeleton or two he was afraid would be used against him...

Rumors about Mark's homosexuality followed him from his first day in the House..."

I have an important question to pose for freepers. It sounds irreverent, but, I really want to know answers.

Does anyone know of any politician who has gay rumors swirling about him and they can say beyond a reasonable doubt that those rumors are false?

Over the years, I have generally come to believe that if it is rumoured that Mr. X is gay....then he's gay and it eventually comes out.

But I want to know if anyone has other experiences (not hunches, though: "I don't THINK he's gay....").

Speaking of dark underbellies (well, behindbellies)...

Somebody needs to ask Fox News why Ana Marie Cox (alias "Wonkette") is now a commentator on that network. She started her career by writing breathlessly and endlessly about the Washington, D.C., anal sex scene.

Classy. Very classy.

"Finally, my friendly advice to Democrats is to keep your mouth shut lest you be tagged as hypocrites."

Joe, Joe, Joe...are you forgetting the huge double standard in the media? BJC pardone Mel Reynolds, remember?

Now what was the final story on the dead girl found in Joe Scarborough's local congressional office?

I'm not sure what Joe means when he refers to DC's "dark side".

Scarborough makes me puke. Not only is he a weasel he looks like one. He has to pile on the GOP to please his MSNBC bosses.

Scarborough, shaddap already, okay? Nobody in the conservative movement listens to you anymore. You've shown your loyalties, so quit pretending to be a player.

Exactly, and to think I use to watch his show.

It's something that we don't like to know about--but how can anybody with a normally functioning central nervous system not be prepared for the absolute visciousnes of Democrats in Washington???!!!??? We're talking about the Party of Sociopaths and Morons, for cryin' out loud! These people will do anything!

Come now, snarks. Go to the front of the class and write M-O-N-E-Y on the board 500 times.

Wonkette brings viewers. Viewers bring advertising dollars.
