Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, November 10, 2008

This morning on Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough said "fuck you" live on the air when describing Rahm Emanuel's reported penchant for profanity. "The emails keep coming in," Scarborough said afterward. "I'm not worried about employment. I'm worried about going home to my wife."

It it was good enough to use on the floor of the Senate, how can it be not good enough for TV?

I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED! MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE HEARD THAT! I WANT MSNBC TO GIVE ME $$

I AM DEEPLY OFFENDED! MY CHILDREN COULD HAVE HEARD THAT! I WANT MSNBC TO GIVE ME $$

Based on the viewership I would say that should net you about $10.00. Maybe Joe is up for contract talks and sees the sinking ship.

Quick, quick, fine them $750,000!

The Fanatical Religious Right

When people run out of intelligent remarks, they revert to cussing and name calling. Libs usually can't put two sentences together without using the "F" word, but their favorite noun is the "N" word.

I was watching it this morning. LMAO. He didn't even realize that he said it. The others that were on with him almost fell out of their chairs and just kept on going.

The Fanatical Religious Right can go fuck themselves too.

CRISPEE

Dems have a 7% (and growing) lead on self identified Republicans, if there's writing on the wall it's that in a few short years Fox News won't have much of a viewer base to draw from on the current trajectory.

The other factor that keeps Fox News on top is DEMS are a lot busier doing things than sitting around watching pundits on TV.

So on one hand Dems have a growing lead in their viewer base on one cable network. Yet on the other hand these same growing viewers are to busy to watch the other cable network and they are doomed to fail? Have I got it right there Sparky?

Just curious about the reality of the current trajectory and how big the increase is on MSNBC. Seeing as their ratings are so pathetic a couple of new viewers would move the needle.

Scarborough is such a blow hard I hope they suspend him and keep him off the air for a while. That whole show sucks.

Hot off the wires. . .

MSNBC to Launch Fucking Joe

Just minutes after "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough dropped an F-bomb live on the air, MSNBC announced that it was re-launching the show to capitalize on its star's salty vocabulary.

"Starting on Tuesday, MSNBC's morning show will be known as Fucking Joe," said MSNBC spokesperson Carol Foyler. "We want to send the message that if you tune in to this show, you'll get a unique mix of breaking news and XXX-rated chat."

MSNBC's decision to reformat the show to accommodate Mr. Scarborough's weakness for expletives surprised many in the cable industry, especially since the show owes its origins to the cancellation of shock-jock Don Imus' ill-fated morning program.

But for Mr. Scarborough's part, the move to "porn up" his morning show came as no surprise.

"This move is a fucking home run and anyone who doesn't think so is a fucking cocksucker," Mr. Scarborough said, adding, "Fuck."

Around the cable industry, insiders expressed surprise that Mr. Scarborough had slipped into profanity while on the air.

"I never thought Joe Scarborough would be the first one to drop an F-bomb on that show," one observer said. "I thought it would be Andrea Mitchell."

Hearing Mika Brzezinski moaning about the "7-second delay" is one of those Great Moments of Television.

Hearing Mika Brezinski praise Sarah Palin made me lose all respect for her. A complete idiot.

"The other factor that keeps Fox News on top is DEMS are a lot busier doing things than sitting around watching pundits on TV."

I've often thought the growth of AM talk radio was because
1. AM radios are the cheapest
2. Most crackers don't have jobs

So, Joe had a Dick Cheney moment?

Funny as hell.

Hearing Mika Brzezinski moaning ...

Hubba hubba.

Funny. I hear far worse stuff from the damn skateboard brats down the street. Usually within hours of them returning from church.

I just had to repost this O'Reilly chestnut:

www.youtube.com"www.youtube.com/a">Video: FUCK IT!!! We'll do it LIVE! FUCK IT!!

VIDEO of Bill O'Reilly: "FUCK IT! We'll do it LIVE! FUCK IT!

He's such a microphone hog and an egotistical bastard. What really makes me sick is the way Mika sucks up to him. She spends the entire show saying, "Yeah. Um-huh. That's true. Well... But I, uh.

Fucking airhead. Then she's constantly side glancing back at the camera to see if she's on.

this is rich

and you people dont even get it that joe is a FUCKIN SELLOUT to getting his mug on tv

he hasnt been a real conservative for most of time that he was in public office and he started his media career off as a TOKEN on mahers piece of shit show

you folks will salute maher and get off on dising this guy

sometimes the liberal logic escapes even me

"Hearing Mika Brzezinski moaning ...

Down, boy...

and I went back and actually listened to what he said

and THIS IS news.........I thought you could use language like that as a quote or at least it was okay to be more candid with the words.

the headline makes it seem like he was pissed at someone...

and you "PROGRESSIVES" think that he should be canned because of this..............

it IS a cable show, isnt it

bill maher says MUCH worse and so does stewart.

they just blip stewart right after we here the F of the word and things like that

so is this a double standard from the left

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I CANT BELIEVE THAT

BL2

Regarding your #21 post.

You lost me. Where did I even mention Scarborough's name?

I said DEMS spend more productive time DOING things than sitting around watching pundits.

and you people dont even get it that joe is a FUCKIN SELLOUT to getting his mug on tv

We understand it. We just don't care about it, because he didn't sell us out. As far as Republicans on TV go, Scarborough's OK in my book because he occasionally throws his own side under the bus.

"and you "PROGRESSIVES" think that he should be canned because of this.............."

Not really, I just want those who get punished by the stupid rules the FCC made under Bush to be Republitards.

Who said he should be canned, BL2?

You keep making strawmen.

With Christmas approaching, woven baskets would be a better use of your time as they make more useful gifts.

"bill maher says MUCH worse and so does stewart."

But then they never pretended to believe words like "Fuck" are a big deal or that those who utter them deserve to be punished. That came from the right and its funny to see them now endanger their own careers because of policies they supported. If you voted for Bush then you voted for the FCC's very heavy fines for such language.

Joe was one of the few on the Microsoft Network who didn't throw Hil under the bus during the primary because he had tinglies up his leg about Obama.

I saw him admit not long ago that he had changed his political philosophy from his House days trying to get Clinton impeached.

He was onto the Republican Revulsion long before many others.

so is this a double standard from the left

I know you're not saying Scarborough, ostensibly a journalist on a news program, should be held to the same standard that comedians are held to, right?

Say what you want...the guy should not use that language on TV. A slap on the wrist and a fine are in order....he already apologized.

America, the big, tough country that's afraid of the word "fuck". Give me a break.

Because cable and satellite do not transmit using frequencies, but rather employ technology paid for by private industry, and because cable and satellite require subscription fees, legal experts have maintained that Congress and the FCC lack the authority to regulate them for indecency and obscenity. Moreover, cable and satellite companies consider their programs immune from FCC rules and fines.

Scarborough's OK in my book because he occasionally throws his own side under the bus.

which is exactly why he lost me...........I appreciate honesty in an argument but he also surrounds himself on this show with mostly liberal voices. now he COULD be thinking that his vlice is enough to counter thiers and I guess that would make him more important...after all, HIS name is in the title..
OR it could be that the network he is on, which is obviously liberal makes him use these guests..

But then they never pretended to believe words like "Fuck" are a big deal or that those who utter them deserve to be punished.

Dear 8lb 6oz sweet baby jesus,

Please send BLT a computer for christmas.

Cordially,

I appreciate honesty in an argument but he also surrounds himself on this show with mostly liberal voices.

He's got Pat Buchanan and Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy, and though Mika's not a Republican she got madder about Sarah Palin's treatment than anybody else on the air. Morning Joe is the most right-leaning program on the network.

It's an adult program! Come on! I am NOT a fan of Scarborough - he is a royal PITA in my opinion - but I saw the program and it was quite obvious he had NO idea what he had said until way after the fact. I think he honestly thought he said "the F-word" rather than actually saying the word. It was actually pretty funny, especially everyone's attempts to tell him what he had said. Again, this was an adult program, aimed at adults. Yes, he should not have said it. He said it. Move on for goodness sake.

Please send BLT a computer for christmas.

Cordially,

HC

We can invade any fuckin' country we want to.
We will bomb the fuck out of you.
We'll fuck up your Military when we get there.
We'll stand around and watch while you blow your countrymen the fuck up.
We'll send your wimmen's to some "Abu Grabass" like prison and fuck them.
We'll send your fuckin' ass to Guantanamo Bay-and then fuck you-just to humiliate you.
We'll fuck up our own economy doin' it.

But don't you DARE say the word "fuck" on the tv....
It makes the baby jeebus cry........

The word doesn't offend me, but I'm willing to admit the context was maybe not the most appropriate. He could have said F-you or some similar suggestion of the expression.

As George Carlin spins in his grave, I marvel about how the resident righties here just lack ANY understanding of what their so-called "libs" are really all about. herm

HERM

They call anyone who isn't 'one of them' a 'lib'.

Little do they know that maybe 10% of Democrats are 1960's style 'libs'.

But, it's a talking point for them to use ad nauseum.

Just as many of them consider themselves 'conservative' - little realizing that their definition of 'conservative' is far from what traditional 'conservatives' stood for. It had nothing to do with social wedge issues.

BL2 obviously has no clue what "marxism" is. Yet he can't shut up about it. Too funny.

AFTER the bottom-up revolution of the proletariat, and AFTER the resulting big socialist states NATURALLY break apart into small self-governed communes, THEN you can spout off about the effects of "marxism" on society. Read Karl's book and stop being a dramatic douche.

I love that republicans just eagerly helped create the biggest corporate welfare scheme in history with no end in sight, yet morons keep screaming "communist" every time Obama speaks about health care assistance.

Helping people pay for medical care so they can afford to stay in their homes, send kids to college, and buy goods and services = BAD Marxism!

Giving money to the worst and largest corporations with no strings attached so they can pay executive bonuses and still cut the health care of even the most senior pensioners, union members and executives and continue to lay people off and ship jobs overseas = Trickle-Down Capitalism!

I am waiting for one republican who supported giving any taxpayer money to ANY corporation. As a right winger I am not buying all this business about 'Systemic economic cllapse" by NOT giving out MY money to people who mismanaged their own, I don't care if it's AIG or "Peggy the mooch"..Does anyone know what the constitution says about "Kicking all the bums out by force"

Hahah! He said "fuck!"

Joe is going to have to kill another aide to release his frustration.

Kill away Joe. You got away with murdering the woman you were having an affair with once. You can do it again, shit-stain.

Big deal it's just another Freudian slit.

These excerpts from a longer piece get to the heart of the matter: Scarborough's role as a self-appointed protector of public morality and red-hot critic of people who say "Fuck" on television.

Joe Scarborough: Hoisted by his own sanctimonious petard

By Glenn Greenwald
. . .
I personally couldn't care any less about that. But Joe Scarborough, in the past, not only claimed to care about such things, but has been one of the most zealous crusaders against such awful filth on television.

Scarborough led the lynch mob over the 2004 Janet Jackson halftime show on CBS -- demanding that the FCC impose massive fines against CBS and MTV, among others -- and has railed against "rock stars" and entertainers who use, as he used to call it (before this morning), "the F word." Indeed, Scarborough even expressed outrage over the fact that the Government would even consider refraining from imposing substantial fines on ABC when Bono, on a live awards show, used the "F word"....

Scarborough collected hordes of outraged emails from his angry viewers over Janet Jackson and flew them to Washington DC to deliver them to Trent Lott and other right-wing officials, demanding government punishment against CBS, Viacom, MTV, and even the NFL...

Scarborough then even boasted to his guest that his upbringing was so fine that he was taught not to use such words:

Robert, I'm glad to hear that you don't use the words and you didn't use them growing up. All I'll say is, my mom put soap in my mouth more than once or twice.

Apparently, she didn't do it enough. On October 10, 2006, Scarborough hosted a whole segment mocking and attacking Barbra Streisand for using the same word during a concert when speaking about President Bush....
www.salon.com


Big fuckin' deal. This country is so fucking lame.

Oh, Joe, honey, get out your checkbook and the soap.

you 'mericuns are such pussies when it comes to this subject....just listen to the cbc or cbc radio on a sat aft...tis part of the regular fare.

I hope Joe never goes to England and turns on Brit tv after the watershed his fucking head will explode. Greenwald puts it best, it is not that Joe said it, it is that he is a 100% fucking hypocrite, if someone else had used the word he would have been all over them for fines and heaven knows what else, as it is he thinks it is just okay to apologize. Fuck this idiot got his panties in a wad over a half exposed tit for gawds sake what's the big deal, open a newspaper any given day of the week in the UK and you'll get an eye full of them (granted not the Times or the Telegraph) but as was so nicely said in "Nottinghill Gate"
"what is the big deal, they're breasts, they're for milk, 50% of the population has them"
"actually more than that, Meatloaf has a very nice pair"

Grow the fuck up people. (and by people I mean righty tighties like Scarborough)

Grow the fuck up people. (and by people I mean righty tighties like Scarborough)

I don't know how

Larry - not to put too fine a point on it but they are tits, they are for milk, 50re% of the world has them, most women in Europe flash em at topless beaches, and alot more at nude beaches, they are so not news.

PS) For all those women who have had boob jobs, congratulations, you have now deprived your future children of the most perfect food, nice job. Vain bitches. There was this absurd sculpture a couple of years back of Brittany Spears crouching to give birth "her breast full with milk" (so the sculpter said) well guess what, boob jobs mean your boobies are useless for mother natures actual purpose, nice job there assholes.

That's funny!

Who's he think he is? Bill Maher?

I saw the program and it was quite obvious he had NO idea what he had said until way after the fact.

You mean like most Rethugs don't realize what they are saying until AFTER the fact and then spend the rest of their lives defending it?

And Joe is using Ambien?

The Debauchery! The Debauchery! Rawwwwwk!

I love that republicans just eagerly helped create the biggest corporate welfare scheme in history with no end in sight, yet morons keep screaming "communist" every time Obama speaks about health care assistance.

kevin

reproducing this comment is all I really need to do
you said republicans just did this???

have you been listening at all to anything other than olberman or matthews..........so how do you reconcile this statement with the president elect having supported it and voting for it along with hundreds of democrats in congress?
no I am serious. HOW In the FUCK can you make this comment?
( used the word FUCK because of the suject...get it.....its a joke....or are you another liberal with no sense of humor)

Big deal it's just another Freudian slit.

#51 | Posted by furio at 2008

really?? wasnt he just making a quote......which is different than him throwing it out there on his own

Dear Morons on the left. He was reading and relaying a story and made a mistake. The liberals make mistakes every day when they wake up.

Cathy,

Try turning off Fox News girlfriend.
