What a morning at Morning Joe! First, a "senior White House official" sent an email calling Joe Scarborough an "a-----e" for mocking Pres. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. A bit later, responding to Rush Limbaugh's depiction of Scarborough as a "neutered, chickified moderate," Scarborough repeatedly claimed that Pres. George W. Bush had Rush's "testicles in a blind trust."
Scarborough and Time's Mark Halperin—whom no one would accuse of being a right-wing hack—had some good-natured fun with the Nobel news. A laughing-out-loud Scarborough suggested among other things that Marisa Tomei was more deserving of her Academy Award. But the Messiah will not be mocked, and it wasn't long before NBC's Savannah Guthrie, on the set, announced that she had received an email from "a senior White House official" telling Joe to "stop being an a------e" [spelled out in the original, according to Savannah]. Mika Brzezinski tried to soft-pedal the insult, claiming the White House was "joking." Real side-splitter! Is this the new standard of civility from Dems so offended by "you lie"?
No Peace Prize is likely to be awarded to Scarborough or Rush Limbaugh anytime soon. War has broken out between the two. Scarborough initiated hostilities by criticizing Rush for reveling in PBO's Olympic failure. Rush returned fire yesterday, calling Scarborough a "neutered, chickified moderate." This morning, Scarborough repeatedly claimed that W had Rush's "testicles in a blind trust" for eight years. Joe asserted that he had early and often warned Republicans against profligate spending during the Bush years, while others stood by in support of the president.

The Messiah will not be mocked ping to Today show list, plus war between Rush and Scarborough.
bttt
Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize?
Wow. When did they start a Moral Special Olympics?
This must be why the soap operas are all but gone anymore.
We can get our glut of misery, treachery, backstabbing, and juvenile behavior by tuning into the State Run Media.
I agree with Rush’s assessment of Scarborough. I do not like Scarborough and don’t listen to his show.
so the white house doesn’t like this.
They have their heads so far up their own arses they they cannot see the light of day and even moderate Dems are laughing at this award.
As the days go by more and more are seeing bozo and this admin as a joke , as amateur hour.
Imagine if the so called media actually did their job and reported all of bozo’s czars, spending, debt, lies etc.
The white house would be crying every day
Scarborough is rapidly becoming one of the biggest jerks on TV, and his comments approach David Frum levels of retardation.
Scarborough — what a buffoon.
I can’t believe Chris Plante got kicked out to be replaced with that idiot’s program. (local radio)
Joe will do anything to protect his TV “career,” but taking on Rush is one foolish move.
The only way Joe can get any attention at all is by trashing Rush.
Rush would do well to ignore the neutered chickified numbskull.
Ah, whatever happened to good ole David Frum?
I'm glad you caught this. The message to Scarborough was, we're watching you. This demonstrates Rush's State Run Media claims. If I was Scarborough I would have given the “senior White House official” a Nazi salute live on TV, but I'd probably get canned for that. Good thing Scarborough has been neutered. :)
