Blowhard News for Friday.


Joe Scarborough, Condescending Twit
If you thought Joe Scarborough sending his court jester Willie Geist to
ask Big Tent bloggers if they eat Cheetos and blog from their mother’s basement was a d*ck move, watch how he treats David Shuster in this clip from “Morning Joe.” Has there ever been anyone more petty and condescending as he is here? I have to give props to Shuster; I would have gotten up and decked Joe if he ever talked to me like that.

SCARBOROUGH: What about your party? What’s your party? David Shuster, David, what’s your party?
SHUSTER: I have no party. I’m a complete independent.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh, you’re independent. Just like all..
SHUSTER: I’ll show you my voting card. I’ll show you how I’m registered later.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh…I feel so comforted by the fact that you’re an Independent. I bet everyone at MSNBC has “independent” on their voting cards. “Oh, we’re down the middle now.” Go ahead, David. No, no, go ahead. You’re an Independent David. Go ahead. Talk about my party. Go ahead.

McCain: Iraq is ‘A Peaceful And Stable Country Now’» Yesterday, Time Magazine published an interview with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) that it conducted aboard McCain’s campaign airplane. Reporters James Carney and Michael Scherer described McCain as “prickly” and “at times, abrasive” during the course of the interview. Carney and Scherer noted to McCain that the Iraqi government is calling for a deadline for U.S. troops to withdraw from Iraq even though McCain’s previously stated definition of “victory” — “a peaceful, stable, prosperous democratic state” — has not been achieved. The Arizona senator dismissed their characterization of the situation, saying that Iraq is “a peaceful and stable country now”: Q: Some members of the [Iraqi] government have made it clear in the last month or two that they might want to withdraw before complete stability, before totally secure borders, before some of the completeness of victory as you described. Is there any change, do you think there is some wiggle room there because what you described with Petraeus was an end point that was rather complete — a peaceful, stable country. MCCAIN: Its a peaceful and stable country now.
