happen and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Poor boy. Get better.


Scarborough is not so bad either.
Definitely not the worst.

He may not be the worst, but he's in the back of the line.

One can still feel sorry for him as a parent, but don't for a second think he's anything other than a noxious, rightwing asshole.

but who doubts for a second that if this were Chelsea Clinton or one of the Obama children, Morning HO wouldn't spend 15-30 minutes speculating on whether or not they had been pushed down the stairs?

I'm sorry, but that is the sad state of our "news" media these days.

.

WHAT are you talking about???? I watched the show...when did they talk about him possiblt being pushed?

The poster did not say that anyone on the show said the child was pushed. They just postulated that given the conspiracy theories that are floated all the time against the Clinton's/Obama's, that it would not be beyond the realm of possibility that something like that would be suggested if it was someone in the their families.

Welcome to DU

Scarborough famously made an ass out of himself by criticizing a captive soldier's father. Even his MSNBC colleagues called him out on it.

This post is unwarranted. A boy was hurt, his father is upset. End of Story. Best wishes to Master Scarborough (that's a proper English term, not a bond of slavery, btw).

PLEASE DO NOT POLITICIZE THIS!

The injured party is an ADULT male, not a young lad in British 'public' school, and we're Americans here.

When you call an adult male "Master" it suggests that you are enslaved.


We can hold more than one thought in our heads. We can hope for the speedy recovery of Mr. Scarborough's adult son while still acknowledging that Mr. Scarborough is a right wing asshole who most certainly WOULD "speculate" if the same dire thing happened to one of his political "enemies." He's done it before, after all.

One thing does not cancel out the other.

Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery to JS' son.

Head injuries are so scary. Whatever I think of Joe, he appears to be a good father and he must be going crazy right now.

Hope the little guy gets well soon!

He has a fractured skull. My heart goes out to him and the family. I hope he has a full recovery.

He has two older children from his first failed marriage, and two from his second failed marriage. The second set is still young.

It's from the film Fight Club.

Wish Andrew well and a full recovery, regardless what I think of his father.

Joe Scarborough’s son hospitalized after bad fall
By Daniel Halper and Natalie Musumeci September 23, 2016 | 9:12am

The 25-year-old son of MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough has been hospitalized with a traumatic head injury after taking a spill down a flight of stairs

Mika Brzezinski, Scarborough’s co-host on “Morning Joe,” confirmed the news about Scarborough’s son Andrew at the kick-off of the show at 6 a.m. Friday.

“His son Andrew had a horrible accident. Head injury, fractured skull… He fell down a flight of stairs,” said Brzezinski, adding that doctors “stabilized” Andrew who is recovering at Bellevue Hospital.

“It’s touch and go, but we’re stabilized, and,” said Brzezinski, letting out a huge sigh. “It’s a long night. And prayers for them.”

That is terrifying. I hope his recovery is complete and quick.

Poor Joe

Always hate to hear of a kid getting hurt, no matter who the parents are.

hope he has a speedy recovery.

of stairs while carrying his 3-month-old son. He knew he couldn't recover, so he hunched his arms and body around the baby, twisting so he fell backwards. That's all he remembers. He was unconscious and the first several hours at the hospital were terrifying; but, hopefully like Joe's son, he had no permanent effects from his traumatic head and other injuries. Rugby player, strong muscles.

I hear you - with that precious cargo you cannot protect yourself from the fall in a normal fashion - very glad he recovered

I guess the same will be said if you have a child that gets hurt. He will still have you as a parent.

Safe to say, we are all sorry to hear of the young man's injuries, but there's not much 'love lost' between the average "DU'er" ... and "Morning Joe", himself.

I wish him well too!

I hate hearing this, I hope he makes a full recovery.

Hope he makes a full recovery.

Young adults seem to have a much higher rate of head injuries around Joe than otherwise.

Not jumping to conclusions, just noting a suspicious pattern.

Or maybe the kid was drunk?
