What the hell is Joe Scarborough trying do do this morning?

He is being really weird-I should say more weird than normal. He is very droopy dog, trying like hell to get guests to say ANYTHING bad about the president. Its all kind of pathetic. He's talking to Michael Lewis who just wrote this book about the President and trying like hell to lead him in to saying something like "he doesn't like talking to people he doesn't agree with" very weird. When Mr. Lewis said that the President is warm and likes talking to people Joe snapped "Well you are the first person out of EVERYONE I have talked to that said that."

Could it possibly be that Joe only has been talking to people who have been working to vote down everything the President has been trying to accomplish?

Be ready for lots of this. If there is a perception that this is no longer a horse race, people turn off, ad dollars are lost.

Don't ever forget that it is NOT about truth and accuracy. It is about money for the network owners.

where they found body parts in a storage unit being rented by the now disgraced medical examiner who declared Lori Klausutis death an accident, she was an intern working in his office, so he will be doing and saying some silly shit to try to keep everyones focus off of him. He's a paranoid murdering fool and it shows right now.
My wild guess that is

after all this one death he ruled on was due to her heart and a heart was found there and if that heart is hers then it might show that the heart is not what caused her death. Yeah I'd bet you couldn't stick a toothpick up ole joes ass right about now and I'd bet his heart is in the pit of his stomach to the point where he can't think straight, eat, drink or sleep. If I'm right he'll more than likely have a breakdown because of it. The way he acts on his show tells me that he is a pretty weak minded person and when cornered will likely do anything to try to save his ass.

around, just to give investigators a chance to nail him sometime in the future.

If you believe that, then you probably believe that Oswald didn't act alone when he shot JFK.

Scarborough:"the middle class is getting poorer and no one is blaming the president, something tells me it would be different if a Republican was in the white house." Then something about needing a president who can bring the country together.

Surely he doesn't mean Romney, whose first instinct in a foreign policy crisis was to bash Americans and generate divisiveness.

Joe should be focusing on the Republican Congress that has done everything in their playbooks to not cooperate with the President and make him a one-termer.

there are people you don't agree with and there are idiots, like romney.

I have found a lot of common ground with friends that are die hard conservatives, but I don't even make an effort with the birther, tea party crowd. You can't talk politics with them more than 2 minutes before you want to throat-punch them.

That's how HE is with everyone, not how the president is with anyone. Poor Joe is depressed that Willard is doing so poorly. I'm sure finding out the medical examiner on his murdered intern's case has been arrested isn't helping, either. Good.
