Joe Scarborough | Barack Obama | Supreme Court | The Daily Caller




By Jeff Poor - The Daily Caller

"On Tuesday’s “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, host Joe Scarborough was strongly critical of President Barack Obama’s decision to preemptively attack the Supreme Court now that his health care reform legislation is in danger of being overturned.

Scarborough reminded viewers of how former Texas Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay made a push to impeach federal judges in the 1990s, and said that Obama’s Monday remarks on the judiciary were similar." ... http://dailycaller.com/2012/04/03/joe-scarborough-obama-scotus-attacks-demagoguery-disturbing/

Some brief thoughts on Joe Scarborough suspended over political donations

Some brief thoughts on Joe Scarborough suspended over political donations


Msnbc TV host contributed to eight candidates in violation of NBC ethics policy

msnbc.com  11/19/2010

Kevin Earl Dayhoff  Take a memo: I don’t really give a flying fudge cookie about the blue and red - left and right thing. That’s just an artificial wedge device for lazy minds. What I care about is free speech and the war on journalists – especially for saying things some folks do not like.


“Contractual considerations aside, I’m on the other side here. I do not believe that Don Imus, Helen Thomas, Dave Weigel, Rick Sanchez, Juan Williams, or Keith Olbermann should have lost their jobs.

“I believe in free speech.

“I do not, for the record, agree with, or like, hardly anything the above group of journalists said or did to cause them problems with their jobs. I do not care nor am I surprised that Olbermann contributed to Democrats….

“My contract says I am not allowed to contribute to any candidates and I like my job and I honor that clause.

“However, I have grown exhausted with the war on journalists and I’m especially tired of the war on the commentary segments of Fox, CNN, MSNBC, et al. If you don’t like – don’t watch it.”

At my advanced age, I can recognize political(ly correct) silliness when I see it.

I’m just saying.

When Olbermann, host of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann," was suspended Nov. 5…

Griffin said in a statement that Scarborough informed him Friday that he had in fact made eight contributions

[…]

In his own statement Friday, Scarborough he had "recently" been made aware of the contributions and told Griffin about them himself.

[…]

Scarborough's reaction was in sharp contrast to that of Olbermann, whose suspension ignited a firestorm of protest from supporters who created an online petition that attracted more than 250,000 signatures. Olbermann apologized to his supporters but not to NBC News and broadcast a commentary objecting to having been punished "without a hearing."

Peggy Noonan Calls Mika's Shoes An "X-Rated Fantasy" On "Morning Joe"


The "Morning Joe" crew is a tough crowd to dress for. One day after Chuck Todd, Joe Scarborough and David Gregory had a fashion face-off, Mika Brzezinski's high heels came under attack by Peggy Noonan.

Mika is known for her love of shoes, and
showed off her favorite pairs on the Huffington Post seven weeks ago.

On Friday's show, Willie Geist implored Noonan to "tell everyone what you said of those shoes."

"They were not shoes," Noonan said in an even tone, "they were an X-rated fantasy walking on Mika's feet."

[…]

She then retracted her criticism, saying "That was too harsh. I think we have to start showing empathy."
