Joe "Dead Intern" Scarborough on "The Bush Haters' SOTU"
"Bush haters insist on their own version of the state of the union"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6845031/



As the President prepares for tonight's State of the Union Address, Americans are getting an up-close and personal view of his political enemies. It's an ugly sight.

Former President Jimmy Carter's response was even more pathetic. Carter, who has been predicting for months that catastrophe would surround the Iraqi elections, has once again shown an unparalleled ability to wind up on the wrong side of history. From the Soviet Union to North Korea, the 39th President has once again shamed all of us Georgia natives. But his greatest slap at the nascent democratic movement was not his insistence that the election be delayed or permanently postponed, but rather his refusal to offer immediate praise to those true "Minutemen" who dared to dip their finger in ink and cast their lot with liberty.

Forget what you've heard. Jimmy Carter is not only the worst president of the 20th Century. He may also go down as the worst ex-president of all time. Especially when you consider the deal he struck with North Korea may have provided the Stalinist regime with the cover needed to export nuclear technology to terrorist states like Libya. (See this morning's NYTimes cover story.)

President Bush's most vocal critics hate him so much that they would rather see freedom fail in Iraq than let the commander in chief's policies be viewed as successful at home. How sad it must be to be so driven by anger that you find yourself cheering for terrorists.

2. Reality is knocking on his empty head.
As long as it doesn't mess up his hair, he doesn't have a problem with it.

8. No money, just no investigation of the death of Lori Klausutis.
Someday, the cover will hopefully be gone, and he will be investigated and jailed.

5. The funny thing is JOE doesnt have a quote.
I listened and have read Jimmy Carters staments and I dont believe he has said anthing of the kind. He had expressed great concern for the conditions and legitimacy but nothing about catastrophe. I could be wrong but I dont think so.

7. Scarborough is an ASS!!!! His pathetic attempts at political and cultural
analysis are infantile and laughable. The only purpose he serves is to show us where MSNBC's sympathies lie, for they would surely have fired this bozo if he were any less conservative. And as for Bush, I pray each day that he fails miserably in his fascist attempts to destroy this country. That's not Bush bashing, Joe, that's simple and pure patriotism.

11. When are we going to define ourselves?
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 09:24 PM by Mountainman
He is only preaching to his chior. I wouldn't have even known he said something if it hadn't been for this post. Joe can go f..k himself for all I care.

He will never come close to being the great man Jimmy Carter is.
