MSNBC's Joe Scarborough Believes 'Certain Networks' Would Have Trashed Bush if He Echoed Obama's
NewsBusters ^ | 8/26/10 | Matt Hadro

Once again, the co-host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Joe Scarborough hinted that "certain networks," (ahem, MSNBC) hold quite the double standard between Democrats and Republicans. When the subject matter was President Obama's snub of an Iraq War question during his vacation at Martha's Vineyard – he remarked "We're buying shrimp, guys" – Scarborough pointed out that network coverage of Bush would have been far more negative.As NewsBusters reported last week, Scarborough also believes "certain networks" will "maul" Haley Barbour if he runs for President in 2012.

The man is like a weather vane. You never know which direction he is going to take...I guess when you have no real principles it is easy to twist and turn with the wind.

He’s following David Letterman et al.

The shackles are off so they’re doing everything to get out front...thinking themselves as relevant.

“ANDREW ROSS SORKIN, New York Times columnist: That was a Michael Moore moment. Remember, that was actually in the Michael Moore movie, sort of the iconic”

If he is talking about the golf swing quote from the Moore movie, wasn’t that taken like way before the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq?

I guess is plan is to please everybody by being a d*head on some things (like the hamasque) and “reasonable” on something like this.

He doesn’t please me.

And what’s with the moron who sits beside him? She nods thoughtfully when she agrees with him and frowns heavily when, like now, she doesn’t. Does she ever open her mouth, or is she too stupid to speak?

If Haley runs the networks would try to maul him, but they would do the same to any GOP candidate.

Like Judas Scarborough is one to talk. He's become nothing but a brown-nosing tool of the left. If he had any credibility at all he'd leave MSNBC.

BTW, did anyone hear him refer to the Ground Zero Mosque yesterday, and then immediately correct himself? "Uh - not the mosque, the Islamic Cultural Center!" Jeez...sickening.

Trust me, the ventriloquist's dummy is a lot more tolerable when she keeps her mouth SHUT.

With John McCain, they didn't maul him until after the Republican Convention.

Hailey has a good resume, but a Republican from Mississippi? The media is already ordering extra charcoal for the coming Barbecue.

However more and more are eating less and less of their cooking.

They are losing influence. A wounded animal is more vicious.
