"Are We Gonna Get It Done Or Are We Going To Pussy Foot?"

Again Chris Matthews turns in a masterful performance today on Morning Joe. What he did to Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski was just the epitome of Awesome Sauce! And he makes the point I have been making about Joe Scarborough and all of the rest of the undercover wingnuts. They want to come up with what sounds like a reasonable opposition to healthcare reform just to obscure the fact that they are really against it and don't want it to pass. That's what it boils down to. If you really want healthcare reform you don't go looking for problems that will stop you from getting it done. Its all a game that they hope to rope people into so that they can turn them against reform by fear mongering over something like the deficit or "Washington beauracrats". Its the same flavor of crazy but with a little more sugar. And I damn near stood up cheering when Tweety called them out for it.

And when he calls Stolkholm Mika out for pussyfooting that was the BEST!!! lol.

We can't afford to allow these people to play these types of games anymore. Its time to put them on the spot and make them justify their opposition and or expose them for the frauds that they are. Looks like Tweety might just be the one out their leading the pack on this issue.

Lets Get It Straight About Barney Franks

I know that Joe Scarborough and the FoxNews crowd are trying to smear Barney Franks based on a heavily edited clip of him engaging a conservative student at Harvard. Here is the unedited version so you can see for yourself exactly how it went down. I swear man the "news" nowadays is more scandalous than the tabloids.

Video Evidence

Here is the clip that I referenced earlier.



Thats why I will always have a love/hate relationship with Tweety

Blubbering Buffoon

I guess Morning Joe is good for something after all.

An Excellent Example of Villager Group Think

The irony is always rich on "Morning Joe".

Scarborough Unintentionally PWNS House Republicans

That's what happens when you bring a fact checker on your show and you are used to repeating Republican talking points. Politifact's Bill Adair was more than happy to set the record straight for the whole cast of Morning Joe about the Republican bullshit talking point about the "Pelosi field mice" provision that was supposedly in the stimulus bill. To prove that it was true Scar had a video of Republican Mike Pence making the claim on a cable news show. If you want to hear something funny just fast forward to 4:00 when Adair announces that its false. You can hear those idiots gasping and Mika screaming "WHAT?!".

But it gets better because Scarborough goes on to give a long ass convoluted story from one of his "inside sources" about how it was really true but the Democrats just used a good cover specifically for Pelosi. It looked like it hurt his heart when Adair told him he was wrong again. Notice the music started play AS SOON as Adair shot him down the second time. I have a feeling we won't be seeing Bill Adair on Morning Joe again for quite awhile.

P.S. How stupid does Mika sound at the end still saying that the provision shouldn't be in the bill? I am now convinced that she HAD to be adopted.

But What About Haircuts?

Just watching Morning Joe again today and listening to Scarborough harp about how President Obama is "naive" to try to limit the compensation of executives at financial institutions who take TARP money to $500,000 a year. According to old Scar, with an assist from Mikaborg, its necessary to pay Wall Street execs enormous bonuses even after they come to the government for a bailout. Now setting aside for a moment that this is a 180 from just yesterday when he was cheering the idea of cutting executive pay on when it was Claire McCaskill's idea, but doesn't anyone else remember all the talk about haircuts when it came to bailing out the Big 3 auto workers? I remember Mika and Scar vividly. "Ohhhh the union workers have to take a haircut to get this money". So a person making say $30 or $40 an hour actually making something in this country, THEY need to take a paycut. But some fatcat big wig who has lot people's money and has in many cases lied to their clients, THEY should continue getting paid out the ass in Mika and Scar's world. Do these people know ANY regular Americans at all? Their ears aren't tin at this point, they are aluminum.
