A memo to Joe Scarborough:
Can you make up your mind? Who are the "neo-cons" and who are the "real conservatives"? You spent a lot of time defending Dick Cheney this morning but was he not one of the "neo-cons"? Was he not the leader of the "neo-cons"? How can you blame everything that went wrong with your Party on the "neo-cons" and still defend Dick Cheney?

Or are you only defending him on the "torture" issue? Or do you prefer to call it "enhanced interrogation techniques"? Are you certain you want to defend this issue? You do recall that the Congress, along with Pelosi and Harman, passed a law outlawing these "techniques", don't you? President Bush signed it into law. But then, he used a signing statement to say that he did not have to go along with parts he did not agree with.

If you were captured by a terrorist group and taken to Pakistan and they offered you a choice of being hung from the ceiling with your feet barely touching the concrete floor or being "waterboarded", which would you choose? Would you talk? If your arms became numb after the first hour and your feet and legs started swelling up, would you call that torture? After two days and there was no feeling in your body at all, what would you call that? Then if they covered up your head and started pouring water down your nose, would you try to hold your breath so you did not have to breathe in the water? How long can you hold your breath? If your lungs started filling with water after about three minutes, would you talk? Would you tell the world that you are full of crap and that you lie you ass off every morning on television?

2. Thanks for the advice.
I will consider it. However, you do realize that Scarborough and Buchanan define the talking points of the day for the right-wingers, don't you? Or do you not wish to know?

3. nah fuck them K
Let them say what they will-they HAVE no power because the adults are in charge now so we can relax a little until at least December anyway. We started going on hour long walks in the park after morning coffee.

It is important that we respond to Scarborough and Buchanan. We should not ignore them.

5. He kept saying history would be kind to the dickster.
Ha, we'll see. Mika the plastic handpuppet kept agreeing as usual. Not sure how this show stays on te air. It is completely right-wing and completely out of touch with reality.

7. Write to MSNBC and Ask -
Why they don't get a morning show that people want to watch?

I can't stand Joe Scar and I won't watch him. He is just Sean Hannity's "Mini-me".
I <b>would</b> watch a good progressive morning show.

Send MSNBC a message here:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28437928/

or You can also mail a letter to:

NBC News
30 Rockefeller Plaza
New York, N.Y. 10112
