Joe Scum is apoplectic...

[PCIntern]

the Prez does not have 'personal relationships' with foreign leaders...like Joe's hero, Bill Clinton did!!! Gag me with a spoon...

Joe is now a great Internationalist!!! WTF!!?

He's really angry with Mika...abusively so...he's a prick.

[Graybeard]

1. He got my blood pressure up too.

Just 10 min. into the show and I was ready to put my foot through the screen. So....click....flipped over to Current and some reality from Bill Press.

[potone]

4. Good idea.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[monmouth]

11. I did exactly the same thing. Joe was truly a petulant child this morning. Off!...n/t

[K Gardner]

17. I just turned it off. He was like.. MANIC this morning. I do find it funny that NO ONE is

talking about Mitt "kick the ball down the road with Palestine/Israel", Romney's foreign policy.

He was really and truly verbally abusive to Mika this morning.

[nenagh]

2. Mika finally got to say..'are you saying he (Obama) is weak on foreign policy?'

I thought she might walk off the set...

Horrible...

[Cosmocat]

14. This is a VERY estabished thing

Joe CONSISTENTLY talks and jokes over her to not allow her to effectively relay the news if it in any way is negative to Rs or positive to Ds. And, the fan boys all laugh and giggle with him.

If any of them had a sack, and were willing to lose their cushy little gig, they for ONCE would say, STFU and let her speak.

[Graybeard]

33. Barnicle was an Imus butt-boy.

Mike Barnicle was a regular on the Imus Show and

he laughed at all of the racist and sexist jokes.

[potone]

3. I agree.

I am glad that you started this thread because I also felt disgusted by him. He won't let Mika get a word in edgewise-- nor will the other male guests on the show--until the subject is teenage pregnancy; then she is allowed to say something because she has daughters that age. The way all those men treat her is a disgrace, but Joe is by far the worst. I don't know why she doesn't quit that job; she could do better. Joe is a jerk; even when he has a good point to make, which occasionally he does, he is so aggressive and condescending about it that it is hard to listen to him.

[Union Scribe]

5. Is this their new feeble talking point?

I'm seeing it pop up more and more.

[amandabeech]

6. They're talking about a story in today's New York Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/25/us/politics/arab-spring-proves-a-harsh-test-for-obamas-diplomatic-skill.html?hp

It is an interesting read. The piece makes a case for the importance of personal relationships in Middle East diplomacy. Perhaps this is an area where the President could improve the situation in his second term, which I have no doubt he will receive.

[amandabeech]

7. Jesus Cristo on a Popsicle stick, he has the Shrub's poodle on.

I can't stand Tony Blair, even when he's predicting that Assad will go soon.

[MFM008]

8. yes

"He's really angry with Mika...abusively so...he's a prick."

JUST what I was thinking. They all seem to pat her head and send her to bed. Scarbore is especially condescending

[corkhead]

9. Sounds better than listening to Inskeep & NPR spend all morning doing the "Weekend at Bernie's"

keeping that stiff Rmoney propped up all morning

good gawd, they are sounding more and more like Fox News Radio every day.

[amandabeech]

10. The Big Dog himself, followed by Jeb Bush coming up next.

Interesting lineup this a.m.

However, Joe acted like his usual assholic self for the first hour.

He acts like a tired 3 year old who needs his nap.

[PearliePoo2]

12. Wasn't Joe Scar one of the hypocritical, ReThug pukes who impeached Clinton?

Wonder if Scar would like his personal and sexual relationships scrutinized to such a degree?

[Cosmocat]

13. THAT WAS MY THOUGHT

all this bs about personal relationships and how great Clinton was with it ...

That is why the dipshit Rs in the House spent 10s of millions of tax payer dollars and convened dozens of official investigations into him before bringing up articles or impeachment on him ...

THAT is what all that work on relationships got Clinton ...

They hated him with a passion at the time, just the same as President Obama.

And, 16 years from how, when they are doing the same bullshit to a democratic president they will be running around saying how they wished her or she was a good guy, like Obama was.

[tech3149]

15. I unfortunately woke up to Jebbie spewing trash about teacher evaluation

I couldn't shut it off fast enough.

[Cali_Democrat]

16. I think the replay is on now?

Trainwreck so far. Very cringe-worthy.

[PCIntern]

18. He's a first-class shithead...

creepy. I actually walked into my office and heard it again on the replay. Just what I needed.

[leftynyc]

19. I saw that before I left for the office

I was thinking if he had forged a relationship with anyone in the mid-east, they would be saying he was cozying up to Muslims. He simply cannot win with the right so ignoring them is the only rational thing to do.

[tavernier]

20. Mika was brought up with good manners.

She does try to state her opinions, bless her, but she doesn't stand a chance against Joe who was obviously brought up to believe that he is always right and that bullying women is the cool thing to do. And his butt boys are too afraid of losing their place in line for kissing rights to step in and tell him to STFU.

[Indpndnt]

21. Not at all surprising that a young woman ended up dead in his office, is it?

Nobody who knew him was probably that shocked, only when he resigned. Tool. It's just hard to tell if he's unraveling because the ME from that investigation has been arrested with incriminating 'material' or if Willard's campaign spiral depresses him that much. Or both.

[City Lights]

22. Did Joe threaten to backhand her again?

Why is that classless jagbag still hosting his own teevee show?

[vaberella]

24. Basically...if I remember correctly he said

"When you want to jump in, make sure you know what you're talking about." She put on a sweet smile and went into her Stepford wife imitation.

[City Lights]

26. Joe should make sure he is following his own rules before lecturing others.

I cannot stand him.

[vaberella]

27. Ditto. n/t

[CTyankee]

28. And when he referred to the "girls" on "The View." Mika tried to say "They're women..." but

it got lost in the jabber.

I imagine that Joe is getting an earful on his Twitter feed for the last hour or so.

[City Lights]

30. He is such a condescending, beady-eyed prick. eom

[vaberella]

23. I almost broke my PC in anger. And that Mika. n/t

[ellie]

25. So what is new?

I don't watch this trainwreck, but from everyone's descriptions of it, it always sounds like he is going to stroke out.

[JoePhilly]

29. Morning Joe should be called "Shut up Mika".

[tavernier]

31. I just borrowed your line

in my comment to MSNBC - Morning Joe. Thanks!

[JoePhilly]

34. np ... I swiped it from the Stephanie Miller show ... lol.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

32. I thought the worst thing was Joe repeating that 'ambassador's body dragged through the streets' BS.

[kentuck]

35. Desperation...

Looking for anything that might stick... like Jimmy Carter...doesn't have personal relationships, etc...

[Cary]

38. I think that explains it

Not to defend Scar here, because I shared the same reaction to him this morning as most posters here. I saw Mika make an interesting face at someone on the set and one of the thoughts I had was that they should give the show over to Mika. However I don't find Scar to be the most odious and irrational. At times he actually makes sense.

This time, not so much. And who was the guy who claimed that President Obama gives speeches as if that was the end and not the means, and then gets on planes?

I seriously doubt that this is true.

[Zoeisright]

36. Fuck off, Morning Joke. And by the way,

what about that dead intern in your office?

[Dawson Leery]

37. Dead Intern Joe never showed respect for the duly twice elected William Jefferson Clinton.

Don't try to b.s us now.

[WilliamPitt]

39. Why the fuck do you bother watching that?

Seriously.
