Joe Scarborough goes all David Mamet on live-television.
The reactions are priceless. I imagine this is what Mike Barnicle looked like when he was caught plagiarizing.

I had the TV on just in time to miss that comment, but just in time to hear Mika say she’s texting Joe’s wife now, trying to smooth things over for him! What a tool!!! I’m trying to think of the right descriptive word for her…sugary suckup?
Desperate for ratings much?
BWAAHHHHAAAHHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
These neocon asshats are LOSING IT!
BWAAHHHHAAAHHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
Adios Muthafucka!
So what? Joe’s wife has connections with the FCC? She should be the least of his worries at this point.
Goodbye joe
YOU GOTTA GO
me oh my oh
And take that whole crew with you.
Joe is questioning that he actually said the word Fuck?
When we have it on tape?
Lie first work out the mechanics of the lie later? The guy just said it, its on tape that Shaggy song

Kind of denial only works with somebody that
the GOP lost that Magic after no WMD were found in Iraq.
If his wife is gonna kill him, they should sell tickets!
I’m in.
Mika stays.
Maaybe Joe knows that he is going to be canceled for low ratings and he wants to go out swearing so he can claim its swearing and not low ratings that got him axed.
MSNBC should arrange for it to be broadcast as a pay per view event as a fundraiser for the homelessness created by the GOP.
Pumpkin Catapults $10 gets you a shot at Joe. $20 you get a dead skunk to launch at him.
I thought it was spelled p-o-t-t-y.
If the FCC sue’d Janet Jackson for her “wardrobe malfunction” what about Joe?
That’s a family show.
digg
I’m with you on that. Then, when she sits in for Gregory, she tries to act like she has some real knowledge and insight into foreign affairs and politics. She’s been relentless in defending/supporting Palen, who her father has to have told her is a complete (but dangerous) airhead.
Will be interesting to see if KO or Rachel Maddow runs a continuous loop of Joe Scar loosing it on live tv.
Not that I will miss Joe the Potty Mouth, but he is actually a fairly mild jerk compared to others on the air.
Mika to Joe:
Just a friendly reminder folks: In the comments here at FDL, please do not suggest or wish violence on anyone — even if in jest.
Thanks!
Well, genital warts are pretty mild when compared with cancer but I’ll take neither.
Joe is one of the movers and shakers in the dumbing down of America movement.
My little impressionable kids watch that show!!!!!!!!!! I’m outraged.
Oooooo….THAT’s going to leave a mark. Can’t stand that guy.
I’m up way earlier than usual for appointments today and now, I am wide awake.
TCU, lol at “It Wasn’t Me.”
It’s on tape and the dolt says a few times “IF I SAID IT.” Well yeah Joe, YOU DID SAY it. Let’s see how he weasels out of it.
Kind of OT.
Is Barnacle the way he spells his name???
And people are really called Barnacle???
Priceless!
I haven’t seen her much lately at all. Does she actually try to act like she isn’t dumb as dogshit and who’s only job is to fetch coffee and the paper for Joe? she defends palin? what’s her defense? that “nobody says anything when Biden says stupid shit”?
Bill The Sailor. I think palin pointed him out at the same rally as Tito the Plumber.
Mouth meet brain ……..brain ……… hello brain is anyone there?
I knew that Skankboro would lose it one day. He is so obsessed with Rahm, he has been beside himself for days. Those wingnuts who think they are powerful eventually overplay their hand, and today was Skanboro’s day. Let’s see what MSNBC does….he is in the Good old boys club over there, Gregory’s BFF.
I don’t have MSNBC on my TV so I was surprised to see Joe looking so botoxed. Not a line in sight on that mug. And they make fun of Nancy Pelosi. Same old pot and kettle thing, it looks to me.
Big deal, the F-bomb. Just one more hypocrisy of daily life.
Hey, didja hear about all them dead civilians in Iraq? Wow, somebody sure messed up there!
Talk about something that matters.
Yes, she tries to get a crafty look and says something which is common knowledge as if she has real insight and has caught somebody out. It’s a little reminiscent of Bush emphasizing a word he learned the meaning of that day and everyone else has known since junior high. It was almost intolerable the other day when she was siding with Pat Buchanon in worshipping Palen, and acting like Lawrence O’Donnel was insane for condemning McCain for putting the nation at risk by selecting her.
It’s actually “Barnicle”, I corrected it.
I’m at work and can’t watch streaming video; can someone tell me what the clip says?
There probably are no rules against being a filthy mealy-mouthed asshat on cable…if only I could have a turn.
I looked it up on the google toobz, and confusion reigns…
“It’s not News, it’s MSNBC!”
Much like whether it is “poddy” or “potty”. I guess it’s the latter.
I admit, I haven’t had to spell it much before.
heh. Joe’s been absolutely blowing steam out of his ears ever since learning (well after the rest of us did) that Rahm was gonna be COS.
I figure he’s been muttering “Fuck Rahm Emmanuel! Fuck Obama for naming fucking Rahm fucking Emmanuell” to himself for a few days now. Fuck them both both and the motherfucking horses they fucking rode in on !
“Fuck! Fuckety-fuck-fuck-fuck!”
So I don’t really see that it’s a big surprise that a big F-bomb slipped out and that he didn’t even realize it.
I *do* see it as funny as all get-out, though.
To the extent that he isn’t already, Joe will be absolutely straight-jacket-ready bonkers before Obama’s first four years are over.
I think potty came from pot, like sh*t pot, but most people don’t pronounce the hard t’s, so it sounds like poddy.
The Urban Dictionary defines “poddy” as:
So I guess both are correct when referring to JoeScar.
I just heard on Bill Press’s show that the Skankboro is now gone. Don’t know if it is true, but it would be HILLARIOUS if this did him in…LMAO…oh those obsessed wingnuts, they overdue it everytime
I think it says alot when a person says the word fuck and doesn’t even realize it. One must be so comfortable with saying it to let it slip out unintentionally. How could that be an acceptable manner of speaking for anyone?
I meant overplay…sorry I am laughing so hard!
How could that be an acceptable manner of speaking for anyone?
Well – *I* certainly wouldn’t know the answer to that…
(whistling innocently)
Fortunately for ol’ Joe, the FCC still doesn’t regulate cable TV. The advertisers and local cable providers do, however. See what commercials appear on Joe’s show and write the sponsors saying that you’ll never buy any of their fucking products again because your precious little toddler heard Uncle Joe say the word and now the kid is a foul-mouthed little brat!
We’ll spend some time in detention hall talking only about the absolutely serious and morbid events in the world. Or maybe we’ll just watch local news to see a few child abuse or accidental death cases. That will make up for the momentary silliness.
Could someone please ask JoeScar precisely which MSNBC talking head is most deserving of his “too dumb to breathe” charge now?
(I’m thinking that he isn’t gonna be able to point at Olbermann any more)
MSNBC is cable. It is not a free broadcast network like the big 4. You have to pay for cable, therefore it does not fall into the FCCs criteria for most censoring standards. Most cable stations like that still censor shows before 9pm, but it is that their discretion! For a period of about 5 years, the FCC went overboard on censoring what is and what can be used over the airwaves. A court case was won that limited them again as to what they can fine and what is a violation. Like I said though, most stations on cable tend to censor that kind of stuff before 9pm.
I agree, both he and Mika Mouse have been on the rail Emanuel trip since he was named.
I usually watch a couple of minutes in the morning and today it seemed like they were told that this is the last week of the show and they’re going out with a bang.
I didn’t see this particular event, but while I was watching I saw Joe talk about Mika and her Ambien and Vodka coffee’s on a couple of occaisons.
Jane’s new post up: The Case Against Lieberman
I thought it was Irish. Like Paddy.
digg it.
and reddit
Ah…well that could be.
i like the part where he says ‘IF’ i said it….huh? people falling apart around you? huh?
i thought ‘potty mouth’ comes from ‘toilet/potty’..
it’s probably on here somewhere, but i’m not diggin’…origin of idioms Q&A

I had to watch this on tape because I would never watch Joe’s awful morning show, who would.
Hey MSNBC, I can’t tell you how much I’d enjoy waking up every morning to Catherine Crier’s face doing the morning show — HINT, HINT. She’s even an admitted Republican so you wouldn’t have to feel all dirty for putting her on the air. However, unlike Joe, she has a brain, she’s polite, truly witty at times, and best of all, and this may infuriate others at MSNBC, she is fair.
Joe Sucks!
I was watching when it happened.
It will be one of those events, like the moon landing, that people will remember where they were when they saw it.
Didn’t old Darth Cheney tell Leahy to “go F*ck yourself” on the floor of the Senate?
Why should Scarborough lose his job? Not that I’m a fan of his but doesn’t this weaken our argument that the FCC should be a bit more, er, tolerant of language?
I’d rather see Coulter be banned from the public airwaves for her hate speech.
Obviously, this is way late, but I hope someone notes Ingraham’s unrelenting stuff that seems incredibly distorted and always contemptuous/put-down/not helpful. I’d love to see her replaced very soon.
Joe’s saying “fuck you” on air — and not realizing it — is just his sliding down the slippery slope of profanities he regularly uses on Morning Joe. Every week he litters his comments with words such as “damn,” “hell,” “Jesus,” “ass,” “crap,” and “bullshit” — language which is just as offensive to many people, not just those with children watching.
This is the same ‘law and order’ Joe Scarborough who mounted a vigorous public campaign for stricter FCC decency regulations after the Janet Jackson mishap. It’s a fine idea to give Joe a little of his own right-wing medicine by filing an FCC complaint (google: FCC complaint).
