  • an idiot finally wakes up

    hey Joe,

    if bush is an idiot, then aren't you also idiotic for not spotting this obvious fact back in 2000 when lots of people said it.

    too bad Salon did not ask Joe this Q.

    nor did they ask him about the young lady who mysteriously died in his office. did someone say Adultery?

  • why didn't the Klausutis family take legal steps to confront Scar?

    does anyone know the answer to this- i have always wondered why Ms Klausutis family did not file one of those civil suits- wrongful death, etc. that was done in Simpson case.

    i am not a lawyer, but perhaps some lawyer out there can reply to this.

    scar is a rich man. the Klausutis family could have taken him to court to find out what really happened and perhaps get some recompense for their suffering.

    or did scar settle out of court, buying them off?

    any ideas out there?

    thanks for info.

    -this creep really got away with murder, is the way it looks from here. how many women her age die in such a strange way? and in a congressional office? doesn't smell good to me....

  • How about a call for impeachment, Joe?

    The problems that Scarborough alluded to were there since 2003. Where was Joe then? And, since Bush is the first sitting president to admit to an impeachable offense (according to John Dean, who may something of this type of thing), I await with baited breath for Joe to lead a conservative groundswell in favour of impeachment. After all, if central features of the conservative doctrine (not the neo-con version) are respect for the traditions that made a society healthy, limited government and personal accountability for your actions, especially those of the criminal ilk, then for a conservative to NOT call for Bush's head on a platter is simple opportunism.

  • Scab-row

    What a smarmy little piggie is Joe, and far too late to the fair to get a ribbon in his porkish pink snout. And with Commander Codpiece, Ol' Mission Accomplished hisownseff, you don't have to choose between idiot and fascist. You get two for the price of one, and a Dick on the side. Cheney the lot of them, dogstyle.

  • We was going to respond...

    Does anyone know if this is a typo (either on Salon or in the book from which it was quoted)? Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the man who calls himself president to make such gramatical mistakes, so I must ask....

    "No, I didn't feel the need to, because I knew how we was going to respond, that he was against the war,"

  • Selective Memory

    This is a constant issue with Republicans . . . .selective memory. Joe says he's not saying anything different now than what he said in 1994,1995,1996,1997,1998,1999, etc. Are we to imagine that he was mute from 2000 to 2004? Does he take no responsibility for propping up this administration? Not only didn't Shrub ask tough questions, the media (and Joe is one of them) didn't ask ANY questions! People like Joe owe this country one huge mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. They helped run this country into the ground. The don't get to stand around now and wait for someone else to dig it out of the hole. Grab a shovel Joe and get your hands dirty!

  • And I quote...

    "Whether it's presenile dementia, hitting the bottle, or something less dramatic, Bush is clearly not the man he was 10 years ago."

    Hell, who said anything about him being a man? I thought he was Lucifer incarnate. In fact, I only wish he could bring peace to the Middle East, because then we would have PROOF that he's Satan! And then his righteous Christian supporters would be a world of macaca.

  • Isn't that called flip flopping

    Joe Scarborough is full of crap just as Bush is. Scarborough has been screaming about everyone who does not toe the Repug line just like the rest of the Repugs. So now he is flip flopping a bit but he is still a Gingrich Rove corrupt Repug who cares for the party and himself first and America last.

    Joe from a non fundamentalist catholic,me, to a fundamentalist catholic you are killing America just like the rest of the Repug catholics. You people are destroying my catholic church by mixing the pope's agenda with American politics and that is bad and corrosive to both.

    Do me a favor Joe and tell the pope and the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to get out of American politics. You are just another hateful southerner.

    And Joe why don't you just go to work for Fox and that other catholic, Rupert Murdoch.

  • Well I guess I should be enraged, but...

    For whatever reason, Joe happens to have a pulpit and he's not using it to back up the current administration. In fact, maybe he's making my brutal dinner table arguments with the in laws a little easier. Maybe this is a little too crunchy-dreamcatcher-left for the Salon crew but I think we have bigger fish to fry than Joe. In my book, Joe can now take back burner with a carrot from me. I know I'll be using his little talking points to show how much my father in law and I have in common, (even though his daughter is condemned to a life of bleeding heart causes and vegetarian fare).

  • lori klausutis

    thanks for the lori klausutis info, below posters. fascinating.

    this is what i love about the salon reader posting forum. you get to read relatively unfiltered stuff from real people that you don't hear about from the creepy, morally abject, lazy media.

  • Thank you roseyv!!!!!

    Interesting how a Republican would compare Clinton to Bush, isn't it? Let's see... one cheated on his wife, and one started an illegal war killing thousands of people... Yeah, I can see that! and what a brilliant comparison. Now I understand.

    Tell me again about these "values"?

    The Honorable George W. Bush

    President

    United States of America

    Re: Victory in Iraq

    Dear Mr. President:

    You had a brilliant idea when you stated, “ We will fight the terrorists overseas so we do not have to face them here at home,” during your speech to the American Legion yesterday.

    Our military forces should leave Iraq right away to put your plan to work. The insurgents/terrorists would leave Iraq to follow our forces home. Then we can trap them the minute they get here. To make it easier for them to come home with us we can offer a special JIHAD VISA. We can give them special arrangements to transport their weapons here too so they’ll think they’ll have an opportunity to kill us here at home.

    In the mean time the war in Iraq will end, the Iraqis can start to rebuild without the fear of constant explosions, and most important – the war will end in victory – the reason you started the war in the first place. It will be so decisive that no one will ever dispute your brilliance and you will be America’s greatest President ever.

    After the JIHAD arrives they will come to claim their weapons and we will know exactly who they are. Once the entire group is in custody all your critics will look silly, too embarrassed to say another word.

    I used to be a little skeptical of your policy but now I can see how wrong I was. The mission is complete and we are all more proud to Americans than ever.
