Did Joe Scarborough just endorse Harold Ford on MSNBC?

[joeprogressive]

I used to despise Joe but I must give the guy his props. He is truly disgusted with republicans right now and is not mincing his words.

1. It sure seemed like that

[Kindigger]

2. He said he was a friend of his

used to work with him, and he's a great, sincere guy.

3. he worked with him in Congress when he was there. so...

he knows him well and he doesn't know that slim Corker

6. Let's not bring weight into it.

I know what you meant. :)

[wicket]

4. It certainly seemed like it!

:kick:

[jhrobbins]

5. And Didn't Harold seem really touched at the end of the interview

8. I like Ford. I know many think he is being moderate for political exediance

but I think he is genuine.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. It did sound like that.

[FrenchieCat]

9. Doesn't matter...since Joe was showing that 11/3 poll that showed

Ford down by more than 10 points. :wtf: was that about?

I HATE JOE!

10. Also, responding to your post about Joe...

"I used to despise Joe but I must give the guy his props. He is truly disgusted with republicans right now and is not mincing his words."

I was the same way, but he seems to be one of those rare Republicans that is not in lock step with the current administration. I was bowled over when he did that report on Bush a while back , asking,'IS Bush A Moron?'

11. It's nice to not have to just watch Olbermann.

I like the different perspectives and now that Tweety and Joe have come around I keep it tuned to MSNBC. And although Norah is a hack, she's hot.

12. That's what I heard and I am not a big fan of Joe's,

to put it nicely, but I have to agree with him on this. Harold Ford impresses me as a guy that might actually have some morals instead of one who talks about them. Although I did notice, and I am not criticizing him, that a couple of his responses about God were straight out of Jim Wallis's book "The Politics of God."

13. Scarborough is an opportunistic jackass - but thanks for the endorsement.

eom

[joeprogressive]

14. I don't think so.

I think he has guts and calls them like he sees them.

[AtomicKitten]

15. I have a long memory and don't forgive easily.

If you watch his show, he remains an epic assclown about many, many issues. I'm not of the tribe that changes my opinion based on isolated episodes of reason. If it becomes a trend, I will gladly yield.

[joeprogressive]

16. It has been about a year long trend for him with the occasional lapse

backwards. I think KO has had an influence on him. That is just my opinion.

[anitar1]

17. KO's high ratings have an influence on him imo. n/t

[AtomicKitten]

18. When he eliminates his "Hollyweird" segment

in which he makes fun of an entire community of people, I will be more amenable to your POV.

[Auntie Bush]

19. He's a Conservative / Libertarian and is disgusted

with George's spending and big government. He's not leaning Democrat and he isn't on our side...so don't be fooled. He'd slit our throats as quickly as George's. (Is that punctuation correct?) :shrug:

[joeprogressive]

20. I agree but when you can get some favorable comments from

a conservative pundit, it is a good thing.
