Joe Scarborough and guest Elise Jordan ripping the Dems this morning!

[Atticus]

Their "R's" are really showing. "Democrats have revictimized Ford with their shoddy handling of this matter!" True colors, folks. Snakes may shed their old skins, but they're still snakes.

[Funtatlaguy]

1. They are just anti Trumpets. Still, very conservative southerners at heart.

[Ninga]

2. Just ugly assertions by those two. Although the guest in the green dress cut Joe off while he

was continuing his anti Dem rant.
It was a thing of beauty.

[LenaBaby61]

3. Their thuglican Yertle ....

And the rest of their thieving, complicit, treasonous, thuglican asses are mostly responsible for this MESS, And Dems NOT bothering to vote in mid-terms at all bear some blame also.

I don't watch Morning Joe because I still don't trust them as far as I can throw Flake, Collins, Murkowski, or Corker.

4. It's election time! Joe always turns to the dark side?

More pukes on the show. Both side do it crap. Best to just turn him off.

[malaise]

5. He will always be JoeScum

That simple

[Atticus]

6. Yes, it really is that simple. nt

[OnDoutside]

7. The same as yesterday then. The Art of Deflection. Shoot the messenger, distract from the GOP.

[katmondoo]

8. I turned him on this morning saw the line up and turned him off

Got up and made coffee and came to DU

[OnDoutside]

17. You've gained hours of your life back.

[Trust Buster]

9. In my opinion, this OP totally misrepresents this Morning Joe segment.

Yes, the dems were criticized for leaking this info at the last hour despite the fact that they promised confidentiality to the doctor. But, Joe and gang also criticized the Republicans for refusing to allow the FBI to have a few days to investigate this matter as the doctor has requested. This segment was actually the most comprehensive and balanced review of this ongoing political situation that I have seen thus far on television. Some believe that only criticism of Republicans should be allowed on television. That simply is not how the real world works.

Here is a link to the segment in question. Watch it and judge for yourself;

[Atticus]

10. Yeah, "Both sides do it" is a great argument. nt

[Trust Buster]

11. That is silly. That makes no sense.

[Atticus]

23. You are welcome to your opinion. Just as you believe my post "totally misrepresents"

the Morning Joe segment, in my opinion yours excuses false equivalency.

[FreepFryer]

12. I saw the segment live and I turned it off when Elise claimed the Democrats 'bungled' this. (n/t)

[Trust Buster]

13. I never want to turn on MSNBC and here just a one sided biased opinion. That is FOX.

The Morning Joe panel reviewed the whole process and offered valid criticism irrrespective of bias IMO. I do not turn on Morning Joe expecting to hear only good things about Dems and bad things about Republicans. Who would want that ? That is an unrealistic expectation IMO. They made fair assessments IMO.

[FreepFryer]

14. You're arguing ad absurdum. No one is saying Democrats are faultless or not subject to critique

Nevertheless, the slant in that segment was more than unbalanced - it was kinda vile.

[Trust Buster]

15. It was not unbalanced at all. The Morning Joe crew spent more time criticizing the Republicans

For refusing to allow the FBI to have a few days to investigate the matter than they did criticizing the Democrats for waiting to bring this info forward at this late hour in the process. Here, watch;

[FreepFryer]

18. You are rather insistent that your opinion is fact. It's not. Cheers. (n/t)

[Trust Buster]

21. Actually, if you took the time to calculate the time the show took in criticizing democrats vs.

Republicans as I did, you too would understand that my claim that the presentation was balanced is indeed a statistical fact.

[FreepFryer]

22. To quote a Republican, "There you go again!" (n/t)

[Rene]

16. I was so ticked off when I heard that Elise comment this AM.....what was that all about

I'm furious at her

[brooklynite]

19. Explain how the Democrats have not "mishandled the issue" if you believe their analysis was biased.

[DeminPennswoods]

20. The letter was sent with a request for confidentiality

That is the first and primary consideration. She also contacted the Washington Post's tip line. She put Eshoo and Feinstein in a tough position. She gave them potentially disqualifying information, but then didn't allow them to release it by requesting confidentiality.

I suppose in questioning, some Senators could have hinted they knew Kavanaugh had done something bad and caught him off-guard like Harris did with her questions about knowing anyone at Kasowicz' law firm.

Dems can't force her to do something she doesn't want to do. I'm sure what Dems are doing is their best to support her and her atty's decisions.
