Slamming 'Certifiable' Cucinelli, Scarborough Contradicts Himself On Conservative Candidates

The regularity with which Joe Scarborough speaks about having won his congressional races has become a matter of mirth on Morning Joe. When Joe did so yet again this morning, he wound up contradicting himself on the issue of the electability of conservative candidates.
Scarborough was criticizing candidates who are supposedly too conservative to win, citing Republican Senate candidate Ken Cuccinelli of Virginia, whom he called "certifiable" on some issues. But—unable to resist a boast—Scarborough then contradicted himself, recalling that when he ran for Congress from Florida, "Newt Gingrich and the the Republican establishment worked against me, because they thought I was too conservative to win my district." Uh, yeah--and yet you won.

It’s obvious Scarborough has been told by Fox News that he will not get a job there, so he’s just charging off the deep end to cement his place with MSLSD.

My bad: that’s my mistake, not Scarborough’s. Thanks for the correction.

Are Scarborough and Hillary sharing the same pair of glasses?

There’s the standard, lib dim memo in action...
Conservatives are loony, unstable, radical gun and God-loving nut jobs that will send women, gays, society back to the Stone Age...
So damn boring...

If you want to see something amusing, find a video of Scarborough talking about Clinton during the Impeachment hearings. Scarborough sounds very, very conservative and his contempt for what Clinton did comes through. There is a great clip of Matthews and Scarborough slamming Clinton from that time. Its amazing how much he has changed since then.

It is surprising in this age of hyper sensitivity that the word “certifiable” gets a pass. Same as saying some of their positions are retarded (which, if he said it he’d be apologizing the next day).
