"MORNING JOE" TO SARAH PALIN: WE KNOW R HISTRY!

All right, I saw the Glen Beck video clip where he asked Sarah Palin who her favorite Founding Father was. The question did give her pause and when she started to say, “they all were ...collectively”, he said “bull crap, who's your favorite” and then he let her go on with her answer. I admit, it's not the answer I would have liked to hear from her, but she did answer the question, qualified her answer by explaining her reasoning, “they all had to come together collectively as one body and so she admired them all”... and her favorite was George Washington. There is no disputing anything she said and her favorite may not be the same as another's, so why did the folks at MSNBC “Morning Joe” try to make Sarah Palin out to be an idiot?

In their attempt to once again to portray Palin as a dopey, uninformed female, Mika Brzezinski shows the entire viewing audience what a moron really is. After they rolled the clip, Joe Scarborough, Brzezinski, and Pat Buchanan began to comment. “Wow, uuh...ummm… Wow, I just need to, let me just process, okay,” Brzezinski remarked. As if she wasn't quite sure if Washington was a Founding Father. Then Scarborough asked Buchanan on his thoughts and he responded “well she did say George Washington and he was the father of our country” Later Buchanan said, “I would’ve gone with Hamilton, myself, Joe.” Shortly thereafter Brzezinski blurted out from off-camera, “Me, Linc...Lincoln, but okay.” All the time they are laughing and giggling like a group of high school kids in the cafeteria. You remember them, the elitists clicks that thumbed their nose at everyone who wasn't part of their group. We all new they were idiots then and their still idiots today and now they work in television.

Mika were you asleep during history class? Lincoln didn't take office as President until March,1861. All the Founding Fathers were dead and buried and dammed if 'Ole Abe' didn't come close to destroying all they built. Joe Scarborough must also be historically challenged because he didn't bat an eye after she said it. They just continued to laugh and giggle like they exposed another “gotcha” moment on Palin. Meanwhile the executives over at MSNBC are still trying to figure out why their ever shrinking ratings keep going south. Go figure.

Edisto Joe

NOTE: My reference to 'Ole Abe' nearly destroying it all is in reference to his poor choice of generals during the first years of the Civil War.  I am fully aware that by his sheer will to continue the conflict he is credited with saving the Union.
