Ha! Joe Scarborough looks like he got the beat down!

With my eyes closed, listening to the first 10 minutes of the show, I didn't even think Joe was on the air this morning. Then a meek, polite little voice - what?? Oh my god! Mika is doing more talking and directing the show.

That idiot must have gotten a beat down from the execs for snapping his fingers at Mika like a dog yesterday.

We'll see how long it lasts.

(and for those of you who dont like the show...and think no one should watch it...save your snarky comments)

The public simply doesn't put up with that rude misogyny anymore. They also don't put up with homophobia either.

It looks like we have a voice now. Yesterday she apologized because he threw a tantrum, but today he's the one who is contrite because a lot of people emailed the show.

This morning he looks miserable. Beaten down, cowering with his tail between his legs.

I'd like to see him replaced by someone like
Ron Reagan.

Yesterday he was going off about the lack of women in Obama's cabinet by bullying his female co-host. The irony.

She looked pissed, and I don't blame her.

Watched it just now on a link.

Cringe-worthy.

It did appear as though the guys sitting around were looking at him and Mika like, "Oh, no, he didn't!!"
