Morning Joe

Scarborough, this morning, is all over Speaker Pelosi's press conference yesterday.

Back in 2002, when the establishment press could've made a real difference in preventing the invasion and preventing torture as a means to justify the war, they instead abandoned their post -- rather than making sure the war was the right thing to do, they engaged in endless discussions about who was patriotic or not while dealing in distractions and trivialities. In the wake of this narcolepsy lay a trillion taxpayer dollars and the bodies of thousands.

This is exactly what they're doing now. Again. Willingly. Following the lead of the Republicans who desperately need the Pelosi story to distract from the real news here: earthshattering information oozing from the cracks about how the Bushies used torture to fabricate their case for war and how Dick Cheney is at the heart of it all (no pun intended).

So good job, Scarborough. On the wrong side of an issue again -- and on the wrong side of history. Good job, Stretch, with your stupid "showdown smackdown" Meet the Press promo. Shame on all of you.
