OMG! Joe Scarborough just said, "if you are Jeb Bush and in the middle of

[JimmyJazz]

a hurricane, you know you're going to get help." :wow:

[clydefrand]

1. Wow! Is he turning around too? This is stunning.

[KaryninMiami]

11. I know- my jaw dropped at some of the things he's been saying.

Is it possible that Joe is turning a wee bit blue? Has he started to see the light? He's actually a pretty smart guy overall- I disagree with most things he says in a big way but at least he has the decency to research his point of view (as opposed to most Bush fans and neocons who simply spit out the party line bullshit).

Being from a hurricane state does have a way of making one especially sensitive to incompetence in this area- but his anti-Bush comments are truly blowing me away.

We can only hope.

2. Why does this surprise you?

[JimmyJazz]

9. because Joe Scarborough is a Republican who thought Bush

shit pink ice cream!

[Cha]

27. Yeah, that would be the

reason! :o

[txindy]

36. That has to be the most graphically descriptive, accurate summation ever

I may never be able to touch pink ice cream again, but it was worth it!

[Zenlitened]

44. LOL!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


:yourock:

[katinmn]

46. Ha! Good one.

[SammyWinstonJack]

3. OMG!

Opps! :rofl: Jr. ain't gonna like that one! :rofl:

[Maestro]

4. I still detest the man, but

the failures of the admin in regards to NOLA is so appalling that even the sheeples are jumping ship. Of course, hopefully, the utter failure that is this admin will come to light to those who previously were too drunk on kool-aid.

[JimmyJazz]

10. First Newt, now Joe. Could Sean possibly be far behind?

*yowza*

[chalky]

15. Oh, yeah. Far, Faaaaaaaar behind.

n/t

[JimmyJazz]

17. No shit. I was kidding. :-)

Sean will be the last man standing. :o

[Prodemsouth]

31. Bush will turn on himself before Sean. Bush: look at all that

happened on my watch, Sean, I just sucked.. Sean: You are spining Mr president..of I forgot that is Bill O'Slimy. (who will be another of the last rats to jump the ship).Claims he is an independent- when state records show he is registered as a Republican.

[Cobalt Violet]

42. Sean will need some serious deprogramming.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

49. No, Sean was an early prototype model created long before the

deprogramming switch type 23-A was introduced. Sean can only be scrapped or perhaps saved for useful spare parts. But since that model is considered of a very inferior quality, I doubt that they would recycle any of it's parts.

[hyphenate]

58. Naw.....

Mann and Phyllis will still be getting orgasms for him long after he's dead and buried.

[Cha]

29. I missed what ol' newt had

to say..was he banging on the bushwa concerning Katrina?

[JimmyJazz]

37. Here's a cut and paste of the quote from Newt:

Gingrich said the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina "puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years, because if we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack?"

[Moloch]

55. ugh...

I don't WANT hannity on our side....

I am thoroughly enjoying watching the rats desert a sinking ship though...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Hey, who are you, really...

And what have you done with the real Joe Scarborough?

Jeez, if Dead Intern Guy has turned, the Bushazoids are in deep kimchee.

[FreedomAngel82]

50. I agree

I think it'll be interesting to see him on Bill Maher Friday. I think then we'll see.

[DoYouEverWonder]

6. Hey this has nothing to do with Jeb

It was an election year last year.

[bridgit]

7. sure, and you'll get his brother george standing right beside...

him handing out bottles of water :eyes: it's a 2-fer deal

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Joe is doing okay this week

He isn't drinking the koolaid. I wonder what gives?

[Emit]

14. I think it's because he was actually reporting from the ground

Wasn't he reporting live from there for a while there? I know Cooper, Geraldo and Shep Smith were, and when these guys are there in person, it must make a difference in what they say. Puts a different perspective on things maybe.

[fujiyama]

22. It's probably seeing starving children

and dead bodies all over the place...and not seeing any FEMA workers or any aid coming in.

I've noticed with those reporters on the scene, it has been a situation impossible to spin.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

12. I bet bush threw his shoe at the TV

:rofl:

Nah, I changed my mind, I bet he threw the TV at KKKarl!

[leftchick]

13. omg. Did his heart grow two sizes this week?

:wow:

[JimmyJazz]

16. If I hadn't heard it with my own little ears, I would never

have believed it! :7

[Media_Lies_Daily]

19. That makes it about the size of a quarter....but it's a start!

[leftchick]

35. LOL!

I thought after I posted I should have said it started from the size of a grain of rice so he still has a way to go!

:)

[Rainscents]

21. Maybe he drank too much hot coco! Coco make you feel relex and

calm...

[peekaloo]

18. he should have added "during an election year".

[JimmyJazz]

20. the accusation of the equivalent of political nepotism isn't enough?

Baby steps. Joe has to take baby steps. :)

[peekaloo]

28. that's true. Ol' Squinty would probably trip over something if he

attempted too big a stride.

:D

[NewJeffCT]

23. If Bush has lost Joe "Newt Gingrich is too liberal" Scarborough...

then, he could be in trouble.

Scarborough will sometimes call it like he sees it - after the first debate with Kerry, he basically said it was a disaster for Bush. Which, of course, it was.

Of course, by debate 3, he was back to giving Bush a B/J.

[AX10]

30. True.

[Darkhawk32]

24. I don't trust anything these people say... they're covering up for the

2006 elections. They're just trying to smooth things over by playing nice. Don't worry, they'll be back to being their old fucktard lying asshole selves soon enough.

[JimmyJazz]

32. How is he trying to smooth things over by being extremely critical of

the Bush Administration? He basically accused George Bush of providing favors to his brother, Jeb. That's some serious fightin' words, if you ask me. I can't believe his core viewers are going to be thrilled to hear that opinion.

on edit: spelling

[Darkhawk32]

39. By, for now, making * a sacrificial lamb to save the rest of the GOP. n/t

[gp]

25. havent seen him say that, so i dont know the context, but

to me it seems as if he's saying that Jeb Bush would have made things done immediately, and be seen as a strong leader in a time of crisis, unlike Mayor Nagin who was clueless...

according to joe of course

Am I wrong? :shrug:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

33. Um no, more like 'if you're the president's bro, your state is gonna get

taken care of, especially when it's central to the Repub electoral strategy'.

Not too complicated I think.

[JimmyJazz]

34. Within the context, he was extremely critical of the Bush

Administration and basically stated that had GWB's brother been the one making the request for help, it would have arrived in a much more timely manner! Seriously. In context, it was a total SLAM of GWB.

[gp]

45. Nice, thanks for the clarification :-)

[Cha]

26. No, he did not!..

Really? Whoa! Sounds like a Dean comment! :)

[bobbieinok]

38. isn't there a thread today that all Joe wants to talk abt is 'looters'

[JimmyJazz]

41. I've been watching all night and he hasn't mentioned "looters"

even once. Don't get me wrong. I'm no fan. I'm just saying that what he said was pretty damned critical of the Bush Administration - maybe there is hope for him after all.

[tlsmith1963]

40. Today I Was Thinking...

...about the San Diego "firestorm" of a few years ago. I was stuck in it one night. The place I was working at was surrounded by fires, & we could not get out. Every road we tried, we were turned back. We finally had to go back to the workplace, & we stayed there all night, worrying that the fire was going to come over the mountain & down into the valley where we were. When the firestorm happened it was too soon after 9/11 & everyone gave Bush a pass. Now I wonder if he deliberately didn't help us, also. The fires lasted a lot longer than they should have. It didn't seem like the people who were supposed to run things were running them very well. I keep thinking about how Bush probably could have cared less about us, too. I could have died, my family members could have died, & he wouldn't have cared, just like he doesn't care about the people of NO. America needs to wake up. Bush could care less what happens to us. He needs to be forced out of office, & he needs to take his fascist friends with him. The America I am seeing these days is *not* the America I want to live in.

[Catherine Vincent]

43. I thought he said it as a slam to the governor of Louisiana.

[JimmyJazz]

48. I saw it as the opposite. If you want to criticize the governor of LA,

you don't do it by invoking the name of Jeb Bush. He was NOT praising the leadership of Jeb at all. If he was praising Jeb, he would have provided examples of how effective Jeb is as a leader, but JS didn't do that. With venom in his tone, he said slammed GWB for his inaction in this case and basically said that because it didn't involve his brother's state, nothing was done until it was too late.

[skooooo]

47. True True!

[gatorboy]

51. Jeb didn't have to worry though.

FEMA was more then happy to go down and help him out right away.

[JimmyJazz]

53. That was EXACTLY Joe's point. Isn't it a bit of a coincidence that the

brother of the President gets whatever HE wants in a crisis!

[Catchawave]

52. Did he mention "during an election" too :)

[Greylyn58]

54. I heard that too and had to change the channel

That was just too much for me to take. I wanted to :puke: at that point.

Really disgusted me. I think I yelled at the tv, too. I've done that more than once over the last several days. My neighbors probably think I've lost it.

[AlCzervik]

56. holy shit, up is down and black is white, the world is changing

moybe.

[hyphenate]

57. I said that a couple of days ago

Florida got A-1 help with all of their hurricanes--it's not that they didn't deserve the help, they did, but let's face it, if your last name is Bush, you get prime service.

[philarq]

59. actually this was more a jab at local response

he implied that florida was prepared and no one else was

[JimmyJazz]

62. I beg to differ. He clearly stated that if you are the brother of the

President, your state gets preferential treatment. Near the top of this thread, someone posted a video clip. This was clearly a slam against the Bush Administration.

[Independent_Liberal]

60. Holy shit!

I'm stunned! Stunned I tell you!
