Joe Scarborough: Mitt Romney's Heckler Admission Was 'Mystifying'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/01/scarborough-mitt-romney-hecklers_n_1562320.html?ref=media

Joe Scarborough was completely baffled by Mitt Romney's recent admission that he had sent hecklers to interrupt an Obama campaign event, thoroughly mocking the candidate on Friday's "Morning Joe."

Romney supporters caused a huge scene at David Axelrod's press conference in Massachusetts on Thursday. Romney later defended the hecklers, saying that he felt entitled to send them into Obama events because he is heckled by Obama supporters, too.

On Friday, "Morning Joe" panel were dismayed by Romney's move. Mika Brzezinski called it "rude and childish," while Scarborough was more appalled by the fact that Romney copped to it. He said that he was "stunned" by the admission, which he called "mystifying."

"If i sent people to somebody else's rally, I wouldn't be talking about it on TV," Scarborough said, cracking up. "You want plausible deniability! Come on man!"

I don't watch them anymore, but thought this article was interesting. Plausible deniability, a subject that Morning Jerk knows an infinite amount about, n'est-ce pas?

He can't think on his feet. It's doubtful he can even think when he's on his back.

those hecklers were paid off by Mitt Robme and aren't really hard-core supporters?
