Joe Scarborough Is An Idiot
3 April 2008, 6:00 PM. By Daniel Mauser
Mythical bridge guardian John McCain was on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to talk about, among other things, garnering the feminist hero vote from political pundit and “The Hills” star Heidi Montag. Host Joe Scarborough, ever helpful in reminding us that he’s a complete and utter dude, decided to go on about Heidi’s remarkable “talents,” much to the chagrin of co-host Mika Brzezinski and discomfort of John McCain’s ailing prostate.
We get it. Heidi’s dumb. When she speaks, everything that comes out is baby talk or dolphin mating songs. But why is it acceptable, or even amusing, for a television host to talk about a woman’s body in such a blatantly demeaning manner? It’s behavior one would come to expect on a talk show or gossip site, but not on a show that tries to present itself as a -somewhat reputable- news source, especially with a female co-host and Presidential candidate sitting pretty much idly by. Sure, Heidi has had a role in choosing to present herself as some sort of infant in a Barbie Doll body, but, like we said. She’s not a bright girl and it is not Joe Scarborough’s place, as someone who should presumably know better, to encourage such representation.
Yay? Or nay?

Times would be useful. I got to around the 6 min mark and gave up. As far as I can tell, the first two minutes are about Heidi and I guess she comes up again later. As far as Joe Scarborough goes, I used to watch the show when it came on after Keith Olbermann on weeknights. I haven’t watched it recently, but I never thought he was that bad. News shows have to pander to pop culture every now and then, though, in order to maintain ratings. Crossfire used to do the same thing–a particular interview with Heidi Fleiss and James Carville comes to mind (he continuously asking her how many men she’s slept with)–before it got canceled. Of course, I loved Crossfire too.
Heidi Montag is stupid and I think it’s fine if Joe Scarborough felt the need to go on about it on his show. They’re not objective news shows anyway. Each host has his own “shtick” and I guess Joe is just The Dude.
she looks like a good actress? We have someone who runs one of those Latina porn sites.
Joe Scarborough has been getting worse and worse and deteriorating by the minute. He has noticeably grown desperate at the prospect that the USA, his version of it, might be commanded by a “negro.” When Obama got far ahead in the game it was Scarborough who egged people on to battle Obama’s credentials and then he resorted to cheer on his new found gir, his girl, Hillary The Heckler.
Anyhow, Scarborough has not made up his mind if he is there as a TV Host of a show or creating filibustering scenes. During the days when there were votes in Ohio and Texas going on he was so rude and so coitus interruptus with other people coming on trying to talk that it makes me even change channels to any other program.
Scarborough, by how he behaves, you can tell he was clearly a momma’s boy at his home growing up ad that it was always his way or else. Suffice it to say that he is an adoring fan of Alabama Nose Picking Coach Nick Saban, one of the slimiest creatures that world can produce.
