No one on Scarborough has even mentioned "Hubris".... Rachel is a colleague of theirs, wouldn't you

think they would have some comment on it? I'm kidding of course. They are all more insufferable this morning than usual, maybe "Hubris" contributed to it...LOL..

Joey was in the Congress when the IWAR came up for a vote in the House. Of course we know how he voted...and his silence speaks loudly that this is a black hole the rushpublicans want all of us to ignore. The good thing about the airing of "Hubris" (which should make a bigger bang when it's aired on the entire NBC TV Network and reaches far more homes than MSNBC does) is it refreshes many about what transpired in those dark days and an education to a growing generation of people who were too young to know what was taking place.

The rushpublicans can't own the Iraq war and never will...as it then opens the door to the dubya regime war crimes as well as the fleecing of the treasury to pay for that fiasco (pallets of cash) that millions of Americans have been paying for and will continue to do so for many years to come. It requires rushpublicans to do some serious soul searching they're not prepared, nor ever will be, to deal with...

They'll cover it only when and if they're forced to and I don't see that happening anytime soon. The people who makes the decision behind the curtain on all things news is some of the people who profit from things such as war. As long as thats the case we are screwed. If we don't do anything else we must demand an independent Press and not quit until we get that.

Instead we get a lot of how Obama doesn't "reach out" to republicans??? I guess Scarborough was living in the same alternate universe the past four years as in the Bush years - Fantasy World.

by Scarborough's manipulating rants. He is definitely trying to make the President the problem instead of the right wing Republican Party. The whole problem with Congress is the crazy right wingers those red districts are sending to Congress. This is going to be a continuing problem until that Party is purged of extremists. I think the President does need to look at this problem in the long term and work to change Congress. The best starting point is now and 2014 midterm elections. The people in those red districts need to be better informed on their real interests instead of the interests of Wall Street. The real dividers are those pulling the strings of the Republican Party and their control of the media. I blame them for this country's problems and the American people. Take Rubio and Cruz for example. Scarborough is disingenuous if he thinks characters like those two can be trusted. It is like turning your back on a pit full of poisonous snakes.

feels he has to be "anti" Obama even when he can't find anything to oppose. Whenever he starts to agree with the President, he catches himself and the next day he goes off on a rant, often contradicting what he'd said previously. Sometimes he's just playing the role of cranky conservative, but he really has no core.

He now wants the audience to believe that, like Calvin Coolidge, Obama is a man of limited words, unable to speak or communicate with other humans.



Obama is the most intelligent and articulate president we have had since Bill Clinton. Joe obviously prefers the "Fool me once, won't be fooled again" type of brilliant mind.

This line of crap... "Obama refuses to talk to republicans"... does he really think anyone is buying it?? Mika put in a weak argument (The president has tried but his invitations have been turned down, etc.). But very quickly she falls in line and her little bobble head bounces around in agreement to what The Boys are saying.

when he is surrounded by the bootlicker crowd, who are reluctant to ever disagree with him. He's kind of like that annoying relative on Thanksgiving, "Just let him ramble on, he'll get tired eventually".

I have to say though, I was surprised that someone didn't challenge him this morning. It was all so far-fetched.

MAy as well watch FUX.
Bill Press is still on Current or turn on the computer and listen to him there

Maybe if his ratings go to hell MSNBC will replace Joey the Scar.
