Thank you Salon for a compelling interview and a good read about Joe Scarborough. I have to admit that he surprised me when reading his responses to the questions given to him. Although I am a proud lefty and my opinions probably differ very much compared to Mr. Scarborough's opinions, I have to admit I like that he remained proud to his political beliefs and, at the same time, realizes the changes of today's political spectrum compared to a few years ago. It is refreshing to see someone acknowledge the rules of "absolutes" in this administration and within the Republican party. I am tired of people, in both parties and everywhere esle, being called "traitors" because they question the president and his adminstration. This is supposed to be a democracy not a monarchy. George W. Bush is not a king. The Republican Party is not the royal court of the United States. Clearly, at the present time, the country is paying in the negative (in both international relations,the economy, the iraq war, the Isreali/Hezbollah conflict, and the immigration issue to name a few) because the questions we ask now were not asked those few years ago.
Good work Mr. Scarborough. You have turned a Scarborough Country hater into a compelled viewer who wonders what you will say next. Congrats.
