Scarborough Lies About Obama: ‘We Have A President Who Has Never Received A Paycheck’

This morning on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough ranted about President Obama’s economic plans (even though 56 percent of Americans approve). His latest talking point: that Obama “has never received a paycheck” in his entire life:

SCARBOROUGH: Think about this: We have a president who has never received a paycheck. … This guy — think about it — he’s running Detroit, he’s running Wall Street, he’s gonna run other sectors of our economy. Andrew, he’s never received a check from a profit-making business in his entire life. Not one check. … Think about the radicalism of that!

5. Joey the Joke is a finished fool
De is getting extremely afraid that his girlfriend Mica is going to leave him for someone that has a brain.

She is drinking something extra in that cup every morning to handle him.


MSNBC could really blow CNN out of the water with a replacement for Joe.

Can someone please tell me why MSNBC tolerates this fool?

14. That is the truth...
Between the two of them, I think brain power may be in the negative numbers.

10. I hear (from someone who works there) that they are begining to
wish they hadn't extended his contract to 2011. Too bad, they are going to lose a lot of business.

20. Maybe they can buy him out
so he can live as a mean person forever and we don't have to look at him.

6. I would never watch "MJ" but I saw the clip.
Someone should pump up Joe's blow up, blond sex toy. Don't they have interns? Joe went on one of his "smart people shouldn't be president" rants and his bobble head doll just sat there as usual.

Are they really going to replace him? I can't wait!

7. Scarborough nearly drove me to throw a brick through the television this a.m.
His rant about Obama never having gotten a paycheck from a business, never having run a business, etc. , etc., etc. was astounding. As I recall, it was our MBA president who was such a raving success with businesses such as Arbusto Oil that got us into this freaking mess in the first place. I hope Ed tears Scarborough a new one.

13. I've got a hunch
that we eventually will see them both doing the morning show. Now that would be entertaining.

16. That would be so cool!
Meeka is reduced to doing clips about the F?@$-me pumps that she wears under the "news" desk.

That, the new boobs and dye job and she seems to be auditioning to be one of Hef's new "Girls Next Door"

22. Last night Ed called out
Newt Gingrich for agreeing with Cheney that Obama is making some choices that put America at greater risk for attack. Probably tonight he'll call out Scarborogh, I am absolutely loving it. I hope he doesn't stop with those two but keeps going after all of those RW tools, he mentioned Senator Cornyn someone I really hope he can get on his TV program. Hopefully he will be able to goad a few more of them into appearing for a head to head, should be fun to watch.
