s/b "how a network justified firing 'Morning Joe'". :')
Posted on 06/08/2011 5:20:08 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
Yesterday, this column jibed Joe Scarborough & Co. for blacking out, during Morning Joe's first half-hour, coverage of Anthony Weiner's epic news conference of the day before.
Today, a defiant Scarborough dismissed the criticism the show received, boasting "we'll talk about what we feel like talking about."
When the show opened today, it at first seemed that Scarborough was about to make amends for yesterday's poor news judgment. But Joe's mock contrition was just a set-up for a joke.

I vote for two inch hot dogs that could be marketed as “Congressional Sized Bites”, the party-time favorite.
“Tell your friends on Twitter and Facebook, these little doggies are ready to RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE...”
“Rest assured, new ones will be coming out, and they’ll be talked about years from now.”
“Have you seen one yet... you can’t deny it, these little bad-boys are shockingly good.”
The news/entertainment business is perhaps the only industry where one can easily get away with having lower moral standards than either politicians or even trial lawyers. Would it surprise anyone if Weiner wound up on MSNBC?
Yep, reminds me of Spitzer getting a gig on CNN.
I don’t know about his internet habits, but after he got fired from WABC, Don Imus (who came on before him) let loose on Scarborough saying that he had half a million complaints against him in Human Resources. Imus didn’t elaborate but I was pretty intrigued. New York City has been very bad for creepy Joe.
Oh, that Man for All Seasons stuff comes in handy!!!
Of course Joe’s going to “bury” the story about poor deflated Weiner. All of Weiner’s mistresses are at least still alive. When Joe was a “member in good standing” of Congress, his intern was found dead in his office, and luckily his media buddies “buried” that story for him too.
That was a good one! I liked this one from yesterday too:
WEINER DECIDES TO STICK IT OUT
Thanks for the ping!
LOL, every time. It’s so...appropriate.
Morning Joe sold his soul a long time ago.
Work for the libs and you are considered their slave.
Conscripting doctors will be their next step if we don’t get 0’care repealed. And Ryan’s plan is just as bad.
Is that what did him in? I didn’t know that.
