I am a very big fan of Morning Joe on MSNBC. This might come as a big shock to some of you being that Joe Scarborough is a Republican but I think he's great and his show is money.
Claire Macaskill, Democratic Senator from Missouri, was on this morning to ask about her raucous town hall meeting yesterday. She said a couple of things that I thought were pretty fucking great. When asked what she thought about the hecklers she said,
Well, this is what I signed up for. People that can't take this shouldn't run for office. It's democracy in its purest form and that isn't always pretty. We had a few bad moments when people were shouting over each other but all in all it was a good meeting.
It actually was a good meeting and she made some pretty good points that silenced the loud mouths right quick. When she asked for a show of hands as to who was on Medicare, several people raised them. Then she asked how many of those people wanted to get rid of Medicare because it was run by the government, I didn't see a single hand go up.

Why were anti-bush protesters sequestered to "free speech zones" and harassed by law enforcement - but these assholes get to walk around armed and loaded?
well said, Andrea.
Why in the fuck do you like Joe Scarborough?
I have to admit he is my favorite right now. I don't agree with him politically but his show is a pretty balanced look at political affairs. He is equal in his criticism of both the left and the right and his new book is exactly the recipe for what ails the right at present.
If they would only listen....
He's not fucking equal...he was a McCain shill all throughout the election. He's a "mellow" mouthpiece for the right, Mark, and not to be trusted.
Thanks dick, M needed a lesson in just how much the left loves diversity.
