The Olbermann-ification of Joe Scarborough continues. For example, in this recent item, "Joe Knows: Dems can win on Iraq." Olbermann's MSNBC Scarborough writes nastily about Iraq, "You know what my biggest mistake was? Trusting the Bush Administration."
Scarborough has a right to say whatever he wishes, of course, just as we have a right not to watch. But what Joe, a former GOP Congressman, can't do anymore is say that he is any kind of Republican--except the kind of "useful idiot" Republican that flourishes in NYC, working for the MSM. In that case, Scarborough can expect to flourish, as his liberal masters trot him out and say, "See? Even 'conservative Republican' Joe Scarborough says that Republicans are no good." And Scarborough delivers that message, faithfully. It's a way for him to keep his show, despite low ratings. In the MSM world, sending the politically correct message is oftentimes more important than getting a big audience. And at MSNBC in particular, it's known that new network chief Dan Abrams is determined to move the network in a more Bush-bashing direction.
In the new Abrams era, "MSNBC" = "Mostly Seeking to Nail Bush Constantly."
