Following a harsh exchange between MSNBC host Joe Scarborough and Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas on Twitter in May, Moulitsas writes today that he has been banned (for now) from appearing on the network.

He publishes an email from MSNBC President Phil Griffin explaining the reasoning (a “cheap shot”), but Moulitsas concludes he has “been booted from the network because of a Scarborough temper tantrum.”

Moulitsas writes today on Daily Kos about the circumstances in a post “Why I am blacklisted by MSNBC“. “In case you were wondering why you haven’t seen me on MSNBC recently, it seems that Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” he writes. “And Phil Griffin, the alleged president of MSNBC, is going along with it.”

Popcorn time.

Can't they all just get along?

[ConservativeMan55]

What did he say?

[Howie66]

Interesting.

The Daily Klown has his panties in a wad because he is banned from a show that no one watches?

Hooookay....

Must be a really slow news day.......

Given the sheer amount of blatant “cheapshots” idiotScarborough has dished in his time there, I find this hilariously ironic.......but then again, wussies always seek double standards that would easily fall under the banner of hypocrisy. =.=

It’s nice to know that even in the bad, dangerous adult world, there is still a sandbox called MSNBC where childlike adults can play.

Wow; I guess Markos could sound less mature if he really tried. Or maybe not. ;)

So..... does this mean MSNBC’s ratings will go up?

Why are progressives as thin skinned and pouty as a Jr. High cheerleading squad?

[the invisib1e hand]

from the few minutes I had to endure him on WABC radio before Rush, I concluded that Scarborough is a dolt.

I think Hannity is a dolt, too, only one of a slightly higher order.

Perhaps we could help negotiate a resolution to this ...

Say, dueling pistols hand grenades at ten paces :)

Back when Gary Condit was in the news (Chadra Levy murder), Joe Scarborough was considered a pal of Condit’s, and it was hinted by some that because of that Joe might be connected to the murder in some way. Kos referred to that suspicion in a post on his Twitter account.

I'll bet he brought up the old rumor that a intern ( or perhaps a groupie or a friend ) died under strange circumstances . Probably why he did not run for reelection .

Actually, Joe had his very own dead intern.

If “Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” IS indeed the lowest, why should Kos even care.

I love it when they starting their own. Heheheh.

[UCANSEE2]

I guess he was just ‘being himself’.

[ColdOne]

, it seems that Joe Scarborough, he of the lowest rated morning show in cableland, has blackballed me,” So they do pay attention to ratings!
