Scarborough predicts that Bush is a "Phoenix rising" and that
Edited on Thu Mar-29-07 08:15 PM by Olney Blue
he will rise up and succeed like Bill Clinton at the end of his second term.


He thinks Democrats are underestimating Bush, and they "need to be careful."

1. They don't *report* reality, they try to *shape* it. That, combined with the intrinsic stupidity...
... of journalists, leads to what you see in the media.

10. It's a rotten shame that
bush didn't become a stand-up comedian and leave our country alone. He's gonna wish had..sociopathichimp.

Course, maybe if the presswhorecorp weren't his audience..he would bomb.

7. Clinton told a lie about a blow job and was reborn.
I don't think someone can continually lie about one scandal after another that includes killing people for corporate greed and power and get away with it.:dem:

9. Maybe he means the revolution will start in the Arizona metropolis
and go down in history as the "Phoenix Rising".

11. He and Buchanan are a laugh a minute.
Just when you think Scarborough might be getting real, he reverts back to stupid.

I can never make it though the fist 15 minutes of that show.

12. I only have it on because of Keith. After his lead story, it becomes
a descent into celebrity hell.

14. Same here.
He's a total junky for those sleazy celeb stories, besides being an asshat politician/news something or other.

15. I rolled my eyes when he said that. Dream on, Joe.
Clinton's popularity didn't take a nose dive during his impeachment hearings like Bush's is right now, even without impeachment hearings.

17. So Chimp will rise because he tells one liners ridiculing himself?
Really, Scarb, what does that have to do with governing the U.S and reversing the damage he is doing?

20. Sweet Jebus. He and Tweety form a circle jerk nightly.
Bu$h reads prepared material and suddenly he's the second helping of Clinton.

21. "Phoenix rising"? No, he's a "turd falling"
As turds are wont to do.

There is nothing noble or apocryphal or iconoclastic or Byronic or heroic or holy about the man.

He is Orwellian. He is Hubristic. He's Walter Mitty. He is Baron Münchhausen.

He is Willy Loman.

28. On second thought, I think it's the Kool-Aid
They must have a "special Scarborough Blend" they're pumping in.

26. Maybe Joe knows something we don't
About another terrorist attack on the US. That's the only thing that might (totally unjustly) bump up Shrub's numbers.

27. What is he smoking?
Is he so completely divorced from reality that he can't see the massive tidal wave over their heads?
