What Is He Smoking? Joe Scarborough Defends Bill O'Reilly: 'He Was In The Falklands!'

Frequent co-host Steve Ratner tired to summarize the issue, namely that O'Reilly had made specific claims about rescuing a bloodied CBS cameraman and witnessing the Argentine military fire "real bullets" into the crowd.

At certain points O'Reilly has appeared to suggest he was "in the Falklands" in a "war zone." (He has clarified he was in Buenos Aires the entire time, along with the rest of the CBS correspondents, and insisted his accounts of the war were accurate.)

Scarborough took on the location question directly.

"No he was in the Falklands," Scarborough said. "There were riots!"

"He was not in the Falklands," Ratner shot back, as other panelists began to talk over each other.

At the end of the show this morning, he implied that Mika has a crush on Netenyahoo. It really pissed her off and she smacked him with the papers she had in her hands as she walked off the set.

Once you learn how to decode her messages, she's quite clever.

so that this comes down to a matter of how you interpret it rather than focusing on distinguishing between "the Falklands" and "Buenos Aires" and "war zone" and "riot".
