Joe Scarborough is shifting turning his claws in the direction of the Bush administration, just like the rest of the population. And he's being interviewed in Salon, and competantly expressing himself as a fair and thoughtful conservative. Presumably, we fair and thoughtful Salon readers will start tuning in, too. The whole thing sounds oh so premeditated and effective. Bravo, Mr. Scarborough, bravo. Your cynical acts are being executed with nimble panache. You do your job very well.
If I am wrong, however, and if Mr. Scarborough and other honest conservatives are truly appalled by what is happening, let this be a lesson in the dirty tactics and following reallignments of the democratic process. This is a world that Joe, et. al., have created. The fact that none of these transitioning conservatives bemoan these tactics leads me to think that they're doing the same thing they've always done: attacking the weak and newly exposed underbelly of the Bush administration, because they CAN.
