Scarborough's fair The Republican TV host reveals why he launched his "Is Bush an 'idiot'?" segment and why conservatives are afraid to question the president.
  • The difference is "why"

    "It goes back to hypocrisy. We Republicans, during impeachment, were so outraged that Democrats would bitch and moan behind the scenes and talk about what a disgrace Bill Clinton was, but then when they went on the House floor and the Senate floor, would fiercely defend him ... We would all scratch our heads and say, 'How could they do that? How could they go out and circle the wagons and say something they didn't believe?"

    Democrats defended Clinton because Republicans were waging a partisan war in order to thwart the will of the American electorate. Maybe that's too subtle a point for him to understand.
