"I was like everyone else when Obama was elected - optimistic. Everything we had been saying about racial integration was vindicated, but he's incompetent. He will be defeated for re-election."

With such a long intellectual history, it's a pity no one taught him how to think. I understand many of the advances in scientific thought weren't here yet when he was growing up, but he doesn't have any excuses for not reading up on things when he still had his mind a decade ago.

His wording predicting Obama's defeat in 2012 implies maybe 80%-99% certainty, depending on how literally you interpret it. His crystal ball must be amazing. Contrast that with the odds at Intrade, which gives the Democrats almost 2 to 1 chances of winning that election, and gives Obama an 87% chance of winning his party's nomination.

Intrade is a political futures market, and it's considered more accurate than polls, etc. Meanwhile, know-nothings like Gore Vidal and Joe Scarborough continue assigning certitude to whatever pops into their addled minds.

I saw this guy get smacked down by Joe Scarborough on Morning Joe. Weiner is clueless on anything outside of his district.

Holy crap!

Did Joe Scarborough actually say something smart?

I think I just lost a bet somewhere.

Your video, Joe Scarborough Has a Lucid Moment on Iran, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

We have to earn the title "Civilized Nation" and it's what separates us from the 'bad guys.' The only way to earn it is by simply avoiding the disparaging idea that we're somehow better than you are because when we do something horrible it's OK,-but when you do it you're a terrorist.

President Obama, you're wrong about letting these bastards off the hook.

Joe Scarborough, get off my fucking videosift.

Even Cramer looks uncomfortable when Joe Scarborough goes off on his tirade.

Joe Scarborough has the GALL to call John Stewart an "ideologue"? Holy crap!

An answer to that question is given at the beginning of the complete segment

>> ^jrbedford:
Is there a reason he keeps calling him "chief"?

>> ^Ornthoron:
Although Scarborough technically got pwned here, I'm frightened that he may come out on top nonetheless. I'm talking about the comment at approx. 2:00, where he says that he looks forward to Brzezinski educating him and the american people. I believe he is trying to categorize Brzezinski as an Ivy League elitist who talks down to people. I hope it doesn't work.


I'm hopeful that after 25 years people are starting to realize that when Republicans attack smart people for being smart, you shouldn't sympathize with the attacker.

Not that Brzezinski should be anyone's primary or sole trusted voice on foreign policy, but people who think Joe Scarborough is some sort of policy expert or "common man" really needs to be tarred and feathered.

I couldn't agree with you more...

^OK, I had a feeling you were doing this. I assume this isn't intentional, but when your views are presented in quiz format, they tend to take on an air of condescension and invite angry retorts (as you've probably noticed by now). Stick to presenting your views in a normal, rational way, and people will respect you and listen to you. You have some very interesting ideas, but it's hard to see them through the presentation sometimes.
