Holy, holy crap. If you thought last night's blow up between Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews/Keith Olbermann was explosive, you didn't see today's Morning Joe, where Scarborough all but tore into his colleage David Shuster. While Mika B. unsuccessfully played referee, Joe and David's sparring over John McCain (around the 4:00 mark) only hinted at a deeper disconnect: The two guys hate each other. Read into Joe's complaining about David "sleeping through" and skipping three recent Morning Joe appearances as you will, but according to one control room source, "producers couldn't believe it. Some know these two don't get along, but it was awkward even for us. I watched [the clip back] later and it was even worse the second time."
Of course, this is just a long list of internal MSNBC feuding. Scarborough has aimed his ire at Keith Olbermann (later excused as an attack on Anderson Cooper, though nobody believed it). And more interesting, Scarborough appeared excited when he turned to David Gregory on remote — since these two hate each other as well.

If you thought that was crazy as bat ish, you should have seen Scarborough "make up" with Shuster where while "hugging it out" with Shuster he gave Shuster two hard fists to the center of his back. He hit Shuster pretty damn hard because you could heard the pounds coming through loud and clear. Ouch. I think I someone should send Shuster a ice pack and Scarborough a sedative.
Come on now, Joe was a POW…
Wasn't he?
No?
Not even any service?
Nada?
Zip?
Bupkis?
Well, that tells the tale.
Kudos to Schuster!!!
Watching the antics of Scarborough, Matthews, Schuster and Olbermann yesterday and today I'm beginning to believe NBC/MSNBC would best be advised to pipe thorazine through the broadcast booth before airtime.
I've noticed Joe moderating his views over the past few years…guess it's hard to be an apologist for this administration day in and day out. But his comments on leaving right now is typical of the Republican argument. No one is saying leave today…just that we need to leave. Sad fact is, there will be more bloodshed when we leave…we can delay it for 100 years as McCain has opined, but the day we do leave, there will be a civil war in Iraq.
Which is why we should never have invaded Iraq in the 1st place. Many of us knew that the only reason why Iraq was able to exist was that there was a ruthless secular dictator in place to keep the peace. Otherwise, the state would have disintegrated a long time ago.
I HATE Keith Olbertwat…
Scarborough's comments remind you of someone with something to hide, fighting the urge to say what they truly believe but too scared of the consequences. But one thing is clear, Joe is jealous of Obama and his success.
Joe, get over it: you never were the head of your class

what does that have to do with any of this…dunb_ss
Innocent Bystander
way to go with taking comments out of context
Oberman probably has a position on his show for you (we can delay it for 100 years as McCain has opined)
More of the same.
Liberals hate Conservatives
Conservatives hate Liberals
Where are we going with this?
I mean…I'm a conservative republican but I don't hate liberals. I think they're wrong on some things. But that's no reason to hate someone.
We need to work together. This divisiveness is ridiculous.
Obama Bin Biden = Terrorists of the Unborn.
Joe S is a class A asshole… Why doesnt he just move to FOX with the other idiots and get over the fact that his party is a bunch of morons who have destroyed this country forever!
I watched the "Morning Joe" program today and Mr. Scarborough seemed bothered by this election and the media’s coverage of it. As the person said above, I believe Joe would be happier at Fox News especially if continues to let his co-workers get to him. His demeanor seems to be getting in the way of his presentation.
