1. Overachiever Joe Scarborough Lecturing Paul Krugman on what to

do about the economy. We are truly in Bizarro world here. I love to hear Krugman speak about the economy, but he's got to be more selective about who he talks to. Whats next - Contessa Brewer?

Our country is being led to destruction by some really, really dumb Republicans, who are no smarter than their base, who all appear to be taking their marching orders from their media heroes. We hear complaints about Carline Kennedy not being up to the job of Senator, when 40% of the Senate is as dumb as a sack of doorknobs.

2. These guys take advice from Joe The Freakin' Plumber

They book him to speak at their events. WTF?

[Italyloveobama]

13. Yeee

I agree with you , next time Krugman next time should speak about
economy with the new top adviser and strategist of the RP Joe the
plumber.

[chill_wind]

3. Krugman: "We had Uncle Allen Greenspan" :-) "There was never bi-partisanship.

What we had was gridlock." (90's).

[Wetzelbill]

24. Paul is hilarious

He's kind of a sarcastic jerk, but when he says stuff like that I like it, lol. He's a little like Keith, he doesn't quite fit into the proper Beltway civility etiquette where when the emperor has no clothes nobody is supposed to point it out let alone be a smartass about it.

[chill_wind]

25. Has trouble suffering fools gladly. I'd like to see him

getting a lot more air-time at night (KO, Maddow).

[Chulanowa]

4. "A separation of powers"?

What the fuck is Scarborough going on about? Congress is 100% Legifuckinglsative...

[tclambert]

12. Pretty sure you meant Legifuckingslative.

Huh. Spell check doesn't like that either.

[bjobotts]

5. Joe Scarbutt is so ignorant I just can't stand to watch him. Ego maniac

[bjobotts]

6. Trying to prove to Krugman that he's smart...he knows stuff..not stupid like everyone says

[bjobotts]

7. Some good some bad and both sides do it...wrong.Your side wrecked America

[bjobotts]

8. Put the republicans in charge once and now can't get 'em out quick enough

[Richardo]

19. always appreciate a Fredo Corleone reference

:rofl:

[Wetzelbill]

21. Good catch!

That line was funny anyway, but now that I reread it as a Fredo reference it's a million times funnier.

:rofl:

[tblue37]

15. Which is why Mika's daddy told him he was so

ignorant it was embarrassing to listen to him.

[avaistheone1]

27. Scarborough is so ignorant, I don't understand how he has his own show.

This guy is totally out of touch and clueless. He is so proud of being an ignorant ass.
Pathetic.

[whistle]

9. Joe Scarborough showed himself as a Neanderthal on economic policy

[byronius]

10. 'Won't you just agree that we should just compromise our way?'

What an ignorant fool. Krugman, as usual, rocks.

[Think82]

11. ALTERNATIVE TITLE CONTEST: My entry: "Morning Schmuck"

Honestly, how can they keep this guy on MSNBC. He should be on Fox, touting all the great things he knows and learned from his 2 years in the tom delay - controlled House.

[stlsaxman]

16. "Morning Shmoe"

pardon my cannibalized yiddish.

[vaberella]

22. "Schmoe"/"Schmuck" it all works for me. He doesn't have a clue. n/t

[Lancer]

14. Joe puts his specs on only when he knows his guest is way smarter than he is.

Krugman is not God, but I don't trust too many other people to tell me what's really going on with the economy. The idea of ol' perfesser Joe Scarborough lecturing Krugman on anything is laughable. He thinks that -- what was it? Six lousy years in Congress? -- gives him the bona fides to be an economics expert and party elder. :barf:

[democracy1st]

17. Joe you just got ur ass kicked !

[RJ Connors]

18. Interesting, the only time the country was firing on all cylinders

was during the Clinton administration and now Joe is trying to claim that it was because of the Republicans in Congress that made the Clinton years work so well.

Now that is an example of true desperation. The reality is that the Republican party is intellectually and morally bankrupt and they simply do not have the constitution of character to face that fact. Until they find it in themselves to accomplish such, their party will remain completely vacant.

[iconicgnom]

20. yup, I thought that told the whole story.

[Wetzelbill]

23. That is exactly right, if I could rec what you just said I would

[Hassin Bin Sober]

26. Joe Scarborough:

The older he gets, the better he WAS.

[dbmk]

28. Recap:

"Us smart guys in the 90's got a lot of stuff done."
"Eehh, actually you got nothing done. Which worked perfectly at the time."
"Eeeeehh..hmmm..eeeeh...<epiphany>..Lets do that again! Whaddayasay?"
"Can't. Would ruin us."
"Oh, ok. But we were still fantastic back when I was in the game, don't you think?"
"Whatever, you stupid moron."

(Hassin Bin Sober: This was not a reply to you, sorry.)

[lumpy]

29. Well said.

LOL
