We’re baffled by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough. Every time we’re ready to write him off as hopeless, he surprises us.
Like this little gem reported by DailyCaller.com:
Scarborough pointed out the bias at his network, MSNBC, and even offered a particular example. As Scarborough pointed out, MSNBC hosts and guests are always eager to associate judges with which president appointed them – but only if it involves a Republican and a decision with which they disagree.
“I’m just curious, and it was our staff that did it this time – I’m always curious when there is a controversial issue, and [Jon] Meacham, you know this is true, that mainstream media doesn’t like – they always will say ‘a George W. Bush-appointee,’ ‘a Reagan appointee,’” Scarborough said. “It would be legitimate, and you Jon, you know this it to be true when a Democrat does something unpopular, they never say ‘a Clinton appointee.’ Never, never. Why is that, Jon?”
It’s sort of like saying “left wing MSNBC host.” We always say that. Except when Scarborough surprises us.

wow, i guess thats what getting slapped with common sense for a brief moment looks like.
Don't let the rare, truthful comment from Scarborough make you forget that he's the MSNBC in-house pet "conservative". He's a rino and always has been and sells out real conservatives in a heartbeat.
The blonde lady is dead weight.
Look at the hag squirming on her seat. Yes it DOES bring perspective into the situation, but the POINT is that it does not translate well when the situation is about a Democratic President appointee judge. I have seen Fox do that to both Rep and Dem Presidnt appointee judges but Scarborough is right I dont see that from the leftist news.
I noticed a similar thing during the whole hangin' chad fiasco in 2000. Anytime they referred to Republicans trying to oversee the recount, they were "Republican Operatives," while Democrats trying to oversee the recount were simply "interested citizens," or "attorneys for Al Gore." I'm pretty sure that choice of words was because "operatives" sounds nefarious.
Sumbidge is off his meds!
