Joe Scarborough this morning, having determined the weakness of the Republican Party, based upon the Tea Party assault on intelligence, this morning, as much as declared he will begin his return BACK to politics, his first love.
He will continue his pushy, disrespectful jog through to "who knows what." Now that he's off again, running over all his guests with the "facts" -- as he sees them (He should have a show alone so he can listen to himself without interruption).
Look for him to leave MSNBC (I hope) and go back to politics where he can fillibuster as a Senator? this time, because he's in the wrong place to Host anything except a political choir. He preaches to the choir and no one need listen, or try to get a word in, because he is RIGHT! He's a great debater, aside from debating not to make a legitimate point, but a point to anyone who
is really listening, if you can stand to listen. After awhile, I tune him out because the "clever" factor becomes as droll as he is as a "host."

Carl Nevels Well, thanks, Joy. I had hoped SOMEBODY was out there listening. That tirade this morning from "the Joe" turned me off so much that I had to turn on a response where I could (here on Facebook -- my therapy for people like Joe).
Joe is so full of himself (= s***) about everything, that it's impossible to think he's ever had to listen to anyone but himself in his entire life. You'll note that he rarely has the guts to really discuss anything with Howard Dean, who takes no prisoners -- Dean rarely makes an appearance on the show. Joe can't handle Howard because Howie won't cower before the "great oracle," who is constantly quoting himself as if he has to remind everyone how great he is.
