Someone might text him and remind him that the real Amateur Hour took place 12 years ago today. 9/11 happened under ReTHUG watch.

Chris Matthews wasn't having any of it either...

Mika was interesting today, I thought. She looked like even she wanted to throttle Joe...

On April 9, 2003, the very pro-war Scarborough bashed the media outlets he thought were too negative about the war:
I doubt that the journalists at the New York Times and NPR or at ABC or at CNN are going to ever admit just how wrong their negative pronouncements were over the past four weeks.
The next night (4/10/03), he went on a tear against anti-war activists:
I'm waiting to hear the words "I was wrong" from some of the world's most elite journalists, politicians and Hollywood types . I just wonder, who's going to be the first elitist to show the character to say: "Hey, America, guess what? I was wrong"? Maybe the White House will get an apology, first, from the New York Times' Maureen Dowd. Now, Ms. Dowd mocked the morality of this war .
Maybe disgraced commentators and politicians alike, like Daschle, Jimmy Carter, Dennis Kucinich and all those others, will step forward tonight and show the content of their character by simply admitting what we know already: that their wartime predictions were arrogant, they were misguided and they were dead wrong. Maybe, just maybe, these self-anointed critics will learn from their mistakes. But I doubt it. After all, we don't call them "elitists" for nothing.
Scarborough's lack of self-awareness about Iraq isn't new; in a Politico column (12/19/11), he wrote:
I cannot resist returning to the scene of the crime to take one last look at the shameless hypocrites and liars on both sides who used this tragedy for their own political benefit.

You are absolutely right. To succeed at lying you have to either have a good memory or have someone confront you with your LIES and inconsistencies. One of these days that is going to happen to him on his show, face to face. I just hope I am watching at the time. It will be EPIC!

(63,912 posts)I guess he figures we are too dumb to check him out using the Google...that kind of monumental hypocrisy and lying is bound to catch up with him. I wait patiently for the day of reckoning for Joe Scarborough and will do a happy dance when he falls...
