Morning Joe

Joe Scoldborough

You know what Joe Scarborough is really good at? Sitting back in his chair and passive-aggressively scolding his guests in a condescending, quiet voice.

Joe asked Ed Schultz if Ed thinks Dick Cheney wants another terrorist attack to happen in order to vindicate himself. Naturally, Ed said that he believes Cheney privately hopes for another attack.

Joe then proceeded for a good three or four minutes to lean back in his chair, stare at the desk and scold over and over, "I must say I'm stunned. I could never imagine thinking that a Democrat or a liberal ... I can't imagine that I would ever voice that opinion. ... I can't imagine thinking that of any political figure."

Then why did you ask, Joe? Ed already said a similar thing on his show. It's no secret. So we can only assume you asked the question in order to ambush and scold/shame Ed on your show where you have your panel of sycophants to back you up (and they did).

By the way, three cheers for Ed for having a pair.
