Joe Scarborough is a lot like Mitt Romney.

They are both bullies. They both come unglued and start yelling when they are challanged. They both believe that loud makes them right. Both attempt to intimidate everyone around them. Both suck.

was that Palin proved herself to be such an idiot that he couldn't defend her being a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

Scarborough is the typical Republican white male. He is trying to bully Mika. She is making an important point about Mitt Romney's character and Joe is trying his best to dismiss it as silly. She is bringing up an issue about Romney's lying. It goes to his character which is troubling. Somebody needs to tell Joe it is not the only time Mitt has lied. And Joe Scarborough seemed to think lying was important when he tried to impeach President Clinton. Hypocrisy seems to run deep in the Republican Party.

She's being attacked by joe and mark Halperin because they say "she doesn't know" what women really care about. The way the men are bullying her this morning makes mw want to crack the TV.

You're absolutely right that joe's an asshole. He won't even let her -- the sole woman on the panel -- state how women feel. And Mika has steam coming out of her ears.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Scarborough

"On July 20, 2001, one of Scarborough's aides, Lori Klausutis, died after hitting her head on a desk when she fainted while alone in Scarborough's Fort Walton Beach, Florida, office.[23] According to Scarborough, soon after her death, allegations "spread all over the Internet" that he had been involved,[23][24] although there was no evidence of foul play. In 2003, he joked about the incident with Don Imus on Imus's radio program.[25] In 2004, it was the subject of a public spat between Scarborough and filmmaker Michael Moore."
