Morning Joe Scarborough had a full blown political rally on his show yesterday for Appellation Trail adulterer Mark Sanford. Keep in mind that as a Florida congressman Scarborough voted for all 3 articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton for committing adultery.
Though Mr Scarborough is often attacked by the far Right extremists as being too liberal. In fact it seems he is presently getting threats from gun enthusiasts because he is one of the 88% of Americans for background checks. But he is also one of the few Republicans who rabidly support and promote torture. After all, he is a good Christian from the Florida Pan Handle. Where they shoot doctors in the back.
I watched the show in question and was saw nothing out of the ordinary. All guests are treated kindly and upbeat by everyone on the show. No shouting, no yelling, no disrespect! Well except by Joe Scarborough who shouts and yells and disrespects people all the time, but then it is his show. He really hates columnist Paul Krugman. Really REALLY REALLY hates Paul Krugman. Torture good, Krugman bad.
But all in all it was a good thing as it gave Colbert the excuse to campaign for his sister, Elizabeth Colbert Busch for that South Carolina congressional seat.
