'New York Times' Reporter Shares Picture of Joe Scarborough at Trump's NYE Party

The feud between MSNBC Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough and other reporters flared up again Monday when a picture of Scarborough attending Donald Trump‘s New Year’s Eve party was posted to Twitter.

Scarborough took exception Sunday when incoming New York Times reporter Sopan Deb tweeted that he had “partied” with Trump. Scarborough insisted in a lengthy tweetstorm that he had only stopped by Trump’s party in street clothes so he could discuss a possible interview. The argument angered Scarborough enough that he even brought it up on the show Monday.

The debate took on an interesting turn Monday when Deb’s colleague Maggie Haberman tweeted pictures of the event sent to her by an attendee, including one of Scarborough and his co-host Mika Brzezinski.

@maggieNYT Was this taken outside? Pity we can't see if Joe was indeed in street clothes

1. The proof is in the pudding

Pudding head!

[HuskyOffset]

17. nitpick time

Sorry, but it bothers me when people get this wrong. It's not "the proof is in the pudding", but rather "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".

[True Dough]

21. That is the original...

but: "The idiom is usually stated the proof is in the pudding and means that the end result is the mark of the success or failure of one’s efforts or planning. The phrase may also be used in the past and future tenses: the proof will be/was in the pudding."

Sometimes you just have to let go. Time to move on!

[HuskyOffset]

29. I suppose I should let it go

but this is how dumb people mess up our language, similar to how, because stupid people use the word "literally" to mean the exact opposite, "literally" now also means "not literally". Thanks much, stupid people. Appreciate it. Literally.

[Demit]

33. Yes, thanks for explaining the obvious.

But if you don't eat the pudding the proof just sits there, untested & unexperienced, so you have no idea what it is proving.

You might argue that the way people say it these days is a kind of shorthand, but on the face of it it makes no sense.

[oberliner]

26. You can't eat your cake and have it too

As they say.

[spooky3]

30. I agree with you. It's the only way the expression

Makes sense, despite attempts to explain the newer version.

[spanone]

2. so, did joe have to pay the cover charge or did they let him in free?

[Locrian]

3. nah - whores get in free - (oh sorry, was that rude?!) n/t

[Volaris]

4. Nothing rude about factual statements.

[uponit7771]

6. lol.. he was a little peeved this morning with the coverage

[malchickiwick]

18. YES! That was rude to whores everywhere!

[cwydro]

5. k and r. nt

[Generator]

7. Fucking collaborators

Shaved heads in the future. (hoping for a prime bunker spot no doubt-oh wait he's not intelligent enough to realize Trump can kill him too just like the rest of us) Oh it's hard to not hate these arse lickers.

[dembotoz]

8. this is a surprise?

joe is just coming home after wandering in the wilderness

he has always sucked up to the gop.....

[flamingdem]

9. Morning Jerk

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. Mind if I use that?

It's a good one.

[Paladin]

10. Scarborough is a fucking pimp for Trump. Nothing more.

We've known this all along---but it's nice to get such a vivid confirmation portrait of it. Joe Scar looks like he's ready and able to put his tongue in trump's ear......

[SticksnStones]

11. New Year's Eve, a Saturday, after 5pm (it's dark out) seems like a perfectly legitimate time

To be conducting journalistic business. Yeah, that could happen...at a black tie event. In Florida. Yeah that's legit. He wants an interview with the President. Sure he could phone the request but gosh, he and Mika were in Florida already so why not crash the $500 a plate, black tie event hosted by the president-elect of the United States on New Year's Eve.

Journalists do that ALL the time. What's the big deal?

[LuckyLib]

22. Joe, the real question is did you sample from the buffet? If so, you owe the

Trumpster $500.

How gullible does he think people are? Oh . . . wait.

[SticksnStones]

23. My prediction for 2017...

"gullible" will be Merriam-Webster's most used word of the year.

Just sayin' ~

[gratuitous]

12. Caption Joe

"What is thy bidding, O my Master?"

[lostnfound]

13. "I didn't dress for it"? Isn't that like "I didn't inhale"?

What difference does that make?

(No offense to Bill.. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of "not in formal wear".)

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Great disguise. He looks like a dork.

Oh, wait............

[hatrack]

15. Graphic evidence that Lying Sack of Shit is, indeed, Lying Sack of Shit

Shocked, shocked!

[MFM008]

16. Piece of shit

I hate liars.

[Botany]

19. It gets better

Uh, no. I'm in street clothes obstructed by "a tall wine glass".

20. Is that Meeky Mika in the group? SMDH

[Bohunk68]

24. Ahhhh, yess. Dead Intern Joe.

We are all very familiar with him.

[basement demon]

25. Joe Blow.....ing the guy who's blowing Putin

Mahvelous, dahling!

[DonCoquixote]

27. call me harsh if you must

But if there is any justice in this world, or if it is possible to make justice come into this world, there will be a time when Mika and Joe Scab are given the same title that those who helped the Nazis come in the power have to bear: "collaborator." Granted many of the people who helped the French Nazi regime a.k.a. "Vichy" were never brought to true justice. Indeed Paris chief of police, someone who had sent several thousand Jews to their death was not punished, and he proudly said "I regret nothing!" Indeed as much as we Americans like to think of ourselves as some sort of backward cousin to European sophistication, the truth is Putin has tapped into that frustrated imperialist in the European and European American mind. Of course, Lenin is spinning in his tomb thinking that the voice of right wing fascism is a former KGB agent.

All the same, this time if Western civilization is to have any credibility, we will need to name names and shame people on the pillory. Joe, Mika and for that matter the vast majority of MSNBC needs to have their space on the pillory. Yes I might not even spare Rachel Maddow, because your response to the fractures that the Democratic Party were suffering to to the sheer arrogant, incompetence of certain people who are running the campaign was nothing more than an ostrich sticking her head in the sand.

But to people who aggressively championed Trump, they need their spot on the pillory, and if they whine we will tell them "the only reason we did not wheel out the guillotine is because we do not want to give you the honor of becoming martyrs, that and we also want to make a stance against the use of the death penalty."
