Scarborough: "Have we taken our eyes off the ball again on terrorism ?"
Ha ha! Bob Somerby nails the stupid hypocrite! :rofl:

SCARBOROUGH (7/7/05): Now let`s bring in terror expert Steve Emerson. Steve, you know what? You listen to Kelly `s report, you see what they`re, they`re concentrating on at the G8 conference—I understand anti-terrorism hardly made the list of the agenda of the eight most powerful leaders in the world. Have we taken our eyes off the ball again on terrorism and instead focusing on things that aren`t as important?

Have we “taken our eyes off the ball again?” Have we begun “focusing on things that aren`t as important?” These were superlative question for this host to ask. Sadly, here was his list of segments from the previous evening. On that program, he had started with: “Tonight`s top headline—outrage in Aruba, as protesters target Natalee Holloway`s mother!”

Full list of segments on Scarborough Country—July 6, 2005:
*Interview with NBC’s Ron Blome in Aruba.
*Bullying interview with John Merryweather, former Aruban diplomat.
*Interview with Linda Allison, aunt of Natalee Holloway.
*Interview with Paul Reynolds, uncle of Natalee Holloway. (The program was now half over.)
*Interview with Tim Miller, who is searching for Natalee Holloway in Aruba.
*Video clip of Steven Groene, speaking about his kidnapped daughter, Shasta Groene.
*Interview with “legal expert” Stacey Honowitz about the Shasta Groene matter.
*Interview with Bernie Goldberg about his latest liberal-bashing book.
*Live pictures of Hurricane Dennis.



That was it. More than half the program came from Aruba, where Scarborough has been rubbing his thighs every night since June 1. None of the program concerned hard news. But one night later, Scarborough closed his special edition by letting us know who’s been failing the country. Our question: Is there a way to be more phony? Has anyone ever achieved it?

2. His program is now 99.99% inane.
I rarely watch but did the other day for about a minute. He has sunk to even lower depths than before.

The ball? The Bush Regime threw it down it down the outhouse hole.

3. Let's see what the Repukes have been focusing on instead of "terrorism"
Iraq
Hillary Clinton
SCOTUS
Sharks
Schiavo (Terri & husband)
The Ten Commandments
Evil, anti-patriotic Dems
The flag burning amendment

Nope. Didn't hear Osama bin Laden's name once . . .
