On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough ridiculed his employer, MSNBC, for "bowing and scraping" to then-candidate Barack Obama in 2008. Along the way, he did an hilarious impression of Keith Olbermann's faux-Churchillian tones, seeing racism on the rise whenever Hillary won a primary, and "calling George W. Bush a Nazi every day."

Scarborough's comments came in the course of discussing the way that, according to Joe, Fox News has shifted its favor from Marco Rubio to Donald Trump. Scarborough found that shocking, "because, my God, I've never seen a candidate treated better by any network, well, other than MSNBC bowing and scraping to Barack Obama in '08.

That “little cupcake” next to Joe, is Willie Geist, who is about 6’4” tall, lol. Hardly little. He is one of the TODAY Show hosts on NBC weekdays, and will be hosting a new Sunday edition of the TODAY Show starting in April. It will be on the hour just before Sunday’s “This Week in Review” w/George Snuffleopoulos. Willie also appears very frequently on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show.

PMSNBC is moving slowly to the right. Probably positioning to take the Faux viewership that is abandoning wholesale.

My only question is: “What color is the sky on Scarborough’s planet?” Fox in favor of Trump? He’s on drugs.

Olbermann is a douche bag of the highest order. Nothing but pond scum.
