Joe Scarborough: Jon Stewart and The Daily Show are "Hacks for the Democratic Party"

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

Here's Joe Scarborough from earlier this morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" talking to Mika Brzezinski and CNBC's John Harwood about the New York Times article on Jon Stewart and other comedians' supposed difficulty making fun of Barack Obama...

Joe Scarborough: I don't want to hear anybody from The Daily Show or any of these other shows ever saying again, "We speak truth to power." Because you know what they do? They speak truth to Republicans. Republicans are funny. they've been idiots and jackasses over the past seven years. But, please, don't be subversive, because you're not. Because you're a hack. A hack for the Democratic Party, and you only tell jokes about one side.

Mika Brzezinski: No, this is not about being in the tank.

John Harwood: I don't think they're hacks for the Democratic Party.

Joe Scarborough: They're hacks.

Mika Brzezinski: You are unbelievable.

I know I should make a joke in here somewhere, but I just can't find anything funny to say about Joe Scarborough. He's not buffoonish in any way.

LAST COMMENT:

When I saw that BS on msn.com this morning I actually went and Wiki'd Joe Scarborough since I didn't know the name of the dumbass that pushed his opinion to the top of the show. For the most part I'd prefer NPR and PBS for them just giving the facts and not the BS that all major news outlets give to the public on a daily basis on top of the news. It's all for ratings and they just have a loud mouth Rush type on with Mika trying to make him see the other side of the coin. Just MSNBC trying to appeal to multiple audiences where as Fox and CNN are generally seen as right and left. I actually posted a comment on The Morning Joe to tell him to go look at the old videos when Clinton was in the White House and see that TDS is a equal opportunity satire show.

Tim Russert on Saturday Night Live, Conan O'Brien

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

I woke up this morning still thinking about the shocking, and untimely death of the man who first got me excited about politics with his white board back in 2000.  Tomorrow is Father's Day (it happens to be my first as a dad) and I know this will be difficult on his son and his father, especially after last year when he wrote that incredibly moving book to his dad.  

So this morning I decided to cheer myself up by watching some of the absolutely brilliant Darrell Hammond impressions of Russert.  They were kind of difficult to find on their website, In fact, I could only find this one. Please post links if you can find more.  

 

Make sure you tune into NBC tomorrow morning for Tom Brokaw's tribute to Russert on Meet the Press.

UPDATE: I've posted Conan O'Brien's touching tribute from last night below the fold.
