Scarborough: NATIONAL DISGRACE

[tk2kewl]

[KyndCulture]

1. Scarborough??? holy shit! nt.

[bluestateguy]

2. What is he saying?

I'm watching Aaron Brown.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

3. Scarborough IS a national disgrace, or SAID that New Orleans situation

is a national disgrace? Or both? :shrug:

[bettyellen]

7. said it.... say people of all political persuasions are asking...

where are the politicians?
he couldn't bring himself to name * though.

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. He said this is a national disgrace

He is pissed.

[tk2kewl]

16. both

he said the federal response is a disgrace as is the LA response

[ribrepin]

4. Scarborough is socking it to them

The worm has turned. I don't think the center will hold.

[Chicago Democrat]

13. Just like a levee Bush is swept away...

Please Lord

[alcibiades_mystery]

5. I heard it...had to pick my jaw up offr the floor

Scarborough: We've been around here in Biloxi, and we haven't seen enough Federal agents or State agents or emergency personnel to even begin providing all these children, all these seniors with food and water, the basic necessities they need. I've seen a lot of hurricanes, and a lot of relief efforts, and what we're seeing here is nothing short of a national disgrace.

----/paraphrase----

From the horse's mouth.

[Mr_Spock]

12. Holy shit!! ...and that from a RW nut job who I hate.

Amazing, absolutely amazing. A Republican with a conscience who actually opens his eyes to "see evil"?

[ClusterFreak]

18. You know what happens when you lose the right-wing assholes, don't you?

You lose your base.

Too bad, so sad Dubbya.
:nopity:

[proud2BlibKansan]

6. Can you believe it?

But did you catch where he said "LOCAL" politicians have failed the victims?

[rodeodance]

9. so, it is to be the 'locals"?

[rodeodance]

11. then he said--so many have asked Where is the Fed gov.

[lancdem]

14. But calling it a national disgrace

drags Bush into this, too.

[ribrepin]

10. Just asked "where is the federal government?"

Reporter now saying the feds are coming.

[rodeodance]

15. no --he said 'so many are asking..."--he is not asking.

[rodeodance]

19. saying nbc hired security to protect the crew. "it is the city the politi

ans have forgotten"

[rodeodance]

25. a woman said (at Con.Center)--this is not about poor people, it is about

people. she was crying and carrying a baby.

[Maru Kitteh]

63. Correction, carrying a DYING baby.

:cry:

[YDogg]

21. At least he's saying it. n/t

[YDogg]

24. Oh jesus. That was my 666th post. n/t

[rodeodance]

26. yes, you are right.

[alcibiades_mystery]

40. No, he definitely put it on the feds as well

As for locals, he's slamming the locals in both Mississippi and Louisiana, so that's the former head of the RNC Haley Barbour and Blanco over in LA, a Republican and a Democrat. But he's laying it at the feet of the feds as well, for sure. Calls it "amateur hour."

[ribrepin]

62. self delete

[bagimin]

17. Believe it!

smokey joe.. "where da fuck is the national guard?"

[distantearlywarning]

20. I'm watching now and am pretty surprised.

Usually this guy is a RW piece of crap.

But tonight he's been fairly critical of the feds and the local govt. down there and he's letting a reporter talk about all kinds of awful things down there.

He said he was reporting from Biloxi, I think? Maybe that's why he's actually telling the truth about something - maybe he's seen the dead bodies and the rubble for himself. There's no way to get the truckloads of right-wing koolaid to the Gulf Coast right now so he's getting clean and sober.

[Robert Oak]

22. periodically he speaks truth

another time was on the trade deficit and economic issues.

A while ago and then I stopped watching.

[bettyellen]

23. called it "the city that politicians forgot"

[Catshrink]

30. He just compared the response to Katrina to the hurricanes in FLA

My jaw is still on the floor.

[rodeodance]

31. S. saying it is 'amature hours and has been amateur hour since this

started"--then contrasted it to FL which he said had 4 hurricans and things went well.

[KittyWampus]

50. things didn't go so well in Fla from what i heard.

[Roxy66]

27. He is going for the jugular

[Fleshdancer]

28. yet another person I can't believe I'm agreeing with

perhaps there is something to that apocalypse crap after all. :scared:

[YDogg]

29. "Completely different from the way last year's hurricanes ...

... were treated," said Scarborough (as closely as I can quote). He does sound pissed.

[rodeodance]

34. saying that AP said this afternoon that chaos had taken over but now the

troops have arrived (no chaos??).

[tk2kewl]

32. He said it is amateur hour

[seito]

I never thought I would see this day

Uncoated truth from Scarborough

[Rude Horner]

33. If you listen to him

He's really nailing it. Calling the response a national disgrace. Said that this was totally different than the response to the hurricanes in Florida last year.

Gee, having a brother as governor wouldn't have anything to do with that, would it?

[rodeodance]

36. asked Where are the relief workers (talking about across the Gulf in

general).

[rodeodance]

38. I head lots of good things about the Salvation Army last few days (not

anything about the Red Cross). it is the SA who has been serving lots of means all along the coast.

[alcibiades_mystery]

43. Not to mention an election year...

n/t

[Guaranteed]

35. Oh, no. Apparently, he was wrong!

Everything has just changed in the last hour or two.

They had video of a helicopter dropping off bottled water.

Everything's fine, now! :sarcasm:

[mzmolly]

37. Even Joe Scarborough was disgusted with the "government" reaction.

He also made a comparison to Florida which I hadn't even considered. Florida was prepared and responded quickly to those in need, N.O. was forgotten for four days while Bush vacationed. Sick.

[LisaL]

39. Yep. He said that it's nothing like it was in Florida.

Things were very weill organized down in Florida after 4 hurricanes.
Gee, I wonder why?

[rodeodance]

42. sure is bragging up the troops on the grounds--security has arrived.

[rodeodance]

44. ummS. asking if Fed gov was slow about getting the troops here.

[Horse with no Name]

41. The RW pundits are moving in for the kill

They are pumping their fans into a frenzy and then will deliver the Mayor and the Governor to the fire and Bush will walk away unscathed. It will be the Democratic leadership of Louisiana who failed.
Just watch.

[alcibiades_mystery]

45. Hard to do, since he's slamming the local response in Biloxi Mississippi

Will he also offer up Repiublican governor Haley Barbour, former head of the RNC? I hardly fucking think so. Doesn't hold water. He seems genuinely fucking pissed off, as all Americans should be. If anything, he's seen internals on this, and is giving the audience what it wants.

[Horse with no Name]

49. No. Haley Barbour tag-teamed on LK

Said that he "begged" these people to leave.
Talking points are in place.
Don't point fingers and you can bet your ass that Scarborough will NOT go against the talking points.
Ain't gonna happen. Hell hasn't frozen over yet.

[alcibiades_mystery]

54. We shall see...segment coming up

will report

[rodeodance]

46. yes, I fear that also. the fed may be slow but the gov was slower!!

[rodeodance]

47. here it comes--the gov not up to managing this relief effort.

[rodeodance]

48. but whow--Vitter -a REpug Sen saying Bush and his entire cabinate is

to blame also. whow!!!!!!!!

[rodeodance]

51. mayor saying Admin. not understanding what was going on in the city.

should have realized that when katrina came in we should have realized this was going to happen.

[rodeodance]

52. it is the former mayor saying this (of LA).

[rodeodance]

53. S. saying it was a disgraceful thing for Hassert to say!!

[rodeodance]

56. well, we have lots of top media now bashing bush and his cabinet. I

am beginning to think they are done for. first time i have said this.

[koopie57]

55. We turned on Scarborough

and he looked like he was going to cry. I had to get up and lift my husband's chin off the floor.

[rodeodance]

57. anderson Cooper did a good one tonight also.

[rodeodance]

58. good one--Since LA authoritie told their people to get 36 hours before

it hit, you can not turn around and say-we did not expect this.

[rodeodance]

59. lady who voted for Bush says she is disappointed in him.

[rodeodance]

60. man "we are the most powrful contry in the world" and we get no help"

[crispini]

61. Wow, Scarborough is saying this stuff?

Amazing.

[rodeodance]

65. S. people are dying cause they (relief agen) do NOT have things

under control.

[crispini]

64. Relief agencies: "We've got the situation under control."

WTF? :wtf:

[rodeodance]

66. S. wife is involved in relief efforts. doing work in MS.

[rodeodance]

67. so, it is S. who is bringing the relief since the Feds are not doing it.
