Joe Scarborough Thinks Only White Journalists Are Famous
On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, there was more dick on display than at Ron Jeremy’s Hall of Mirrors, as host Joe Scarborough excoriated Univision anchor Jorge Ramos for getting his uppity Mexican ass ejected from Donald Trump’s Iowa press conference Tuesday night. Apparently, Scarborough is as unfamiliar with the concept of respected non-white journalists, or of journalism in general.
In case you missed it, Trump began his presser by introducing Rick Perry ship-jumper Sam Clovis, and in between Clovis’ brief appearance and Trump’s retaking of the podium, Jorge Ramos tried to get a question in. Here’s how that went:
After several reporters pressed Trump for ejecting Ramos (the mysterious “security” guy who took Ramos out was Trump’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller), the candidate relented, and allowed Ramos to return, and actually spent a combined eight minutes or so trading blows with him:
Those reporters really saved Trump’s bacon, because by allowing Ramos to fire questions at him, Trump transformed the incident from a narrow win with his hardcore racist base into an exchange that instantly gave every white male Republican in the country a 95-story gold-plated boner. This will give him at least a five-point bump, guaranteed.
As one of those reporters put it, Jorge Ramos is one of the top journalists in the country, yet Joe Scarborough decided to repeatedly trash Ramos for trying to gain “15 minutes of fame” by grilling Trump, and a few minutes later, put an exclamation point on his contempt for the Univision anchor…READ MORE

Mika drives me nuts just sitting there batting her eyelashes and letting Joe say anything without follow up questions or statements.

Joe’s a blowhard, a bigot, and a misogynist, but I don’t have a clue what the hell is wrong with Mika. I can’t stand Joe long enough figure out her “major malfunction.”

She is paid well and all she has to do is let that blowhard spew his crap 3 hours a day 5 days a week. I don’t know how it doesn’t chip away at her, but it should.

She’s beholden to Old Joe for the job which now affords her the opportunity to maintain the bleached blonde locks and cloths that are too small for her.

Desperate to hold on to her now-fled youth…

As usual, Joe is betting his audience is ignorant of Ramos’s standing with the Hispanic audience. And relative audience size.
Memo to MSNBC: Joe just had his “Tucker Carlson meets Jon Stewart on Crossfire” moment. Fire him.

And Old Joe would be right since they’re as dumb as he is.
