James Carville really smacked Joe Scarborough today on Morning Joe!

[CTyankee]

He pointed out the truth: the Keystone Pipeline will create only 35 permanent jobs and since Obamacare health care costs have come down and borrowing costs are low, something we all know...he started to say more but Joe literally shut down the interview. Nothing stings harder than the truth!

Actually, he was being confronted by his panelists too. It was a contentious morning and Joe looked a bit "besieged" on the set. Mika simpered. Steve Rattner pushed back, too. I just wish he had said "Get rid of the tax cap on SS. Problem solved." But Jim Demint said that people on Medicare "paid" for their benefits so that is a "real entitlement." But that mossback should be slapped over the inference that poor people on Medicaid aren't "entitled." But he held his tongue and didn't really go there.

Are people on his show finally getting some spine? Lots of other, more minor pushbacks too.

All in all, an enjoyable watch today...

1. Thanks

for watching so I don't have to.

2. just another indication that the repubs are running scared...and some

Dems are fighting back. The "tone" has definitely changed

I like to get the big picture...and I know I won't get it listening to just one side.

Also, it's such fun to watch the repukes slide down and slink off to a corner...

3. The point is coming where republicans will start sounding like better Democrats than Democrats

and becoming "staunch advocates" for the working class. It will be lies, all of it.

Democrats, unfortunately, will be confounded, tongue-tied, and speechless in the face of it; ceding their ground to the republicans.

5. DINO's gotta go. Obama's resetting the tone. Dems better get on board.

4. Joe tries to affect reasonableness and centrism, but he cannot tolerate effective dissent.

6. I wish Mika would hit him more. Sometimes she smacks his arm but I think she

lower her aim...

[merrily]

7. She's supposed to look as though she disagrees with him. She doesn't.

Would viewers of Fox put up with a show of two hours of drive time by Maddow?

We are way too easy.

8. When I remember I switch to MJ at the 8:30 hour to check out who the "guest"

host is. Today it was Joy Behar. I love her so I left it on.

The topic was candidates who chime in re the topic of children's inoculations.

Joy said - hey it's only Rep who are running for Pres

Mika said - no no no that's not right, it's both parties

Cut Way to Joe off set wearing a head set - Barack Obama said in 2008 that it was inconclusive, so,he is as guilty as the rest

Joy said it doesn't matter - he change his view - name one Dem running for Pres who said that!

Big mouth Joe - it does't matter they all do it!

Ninga said - this is why MJ sucks and good-bye

9. Is Joe running for president?

At least once a week Joe mentions that people in the GOP, big shots ask him to run for president. He says it every 4 years. He said it last week. He is due to mention in weds or thurs this week.
His guests usually stare at him like he's deranged.

10. Who knows what goes on in that massively egotistical brain of his...

he just rants and rants...
