MSNBC host Joe Scarborough gave everybody a little something extra in their Morning Joe. The clip is below, and it is uncensored. You are warned.
I was very disappointed in Joe Scarborough when I saw this. I was expecting some kind of Howard Beale-style rant, beginning with David Shuster, and ending in "...and the horse he rode in on!"
Instead, It was an innocent slip-up, for which Joe profusely apologized as soon as he realized he had done it. In fact, he was smack in the middle of praising Obama's transition team. He immediately expressed chagrin that his wife would hear him, and sure enough, she sent him a text a few minutes later.
Don't feel bad, Joe. It happens to all of us. Years ago, when I managed a video store, I would remind the customers to make their final selections by announcing loudly, "We're closing up, now, folks!" Except that one, very crowded night when I didn't say "folks."

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
