    RE: "Joe's dead intern"

    Look, I'm not a fan of Scarborough and I'm still skeptical of his transformation into "enlightened conservative", but the real reason the Lori Klausutis didn't gain more traction in 2001 was because Scarborough was not even in Florida when she died. He was in Washington.

    Besides it's not like Republicans don't turn on their own whenever they get a chance. Remember the race-baiting against McCain in South Carolina in 2000? Predictably, the Harris campaign in Florida has tried to drag out the Klausutis story to scare off Scarborough but it seems to have backfired on them: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/15034557.htm
