MSNBC‘s Joe Scarborough went after the two reporters arrested in Ferguson, MO because they didn’t just “move along.” At least he also said, “I am sure, that I am just the worst person in the world for saying this.”

There is a lot of unanswered questions here, but I do know this. When a police officer asks you to pick up—I’ve been in places where police officers said, “All right, you know what? This is cordoned off, you guys need to move along.” You know what I do? I go, “Yes, sir,” or “Yes, ma’am.” I don’t sit there and have a debate and film the police officer, unless I want to get on TV and have people talk about me the next day.

    One of the reporters smacked Morning Schmoe’s ass down:

    “You know what I do? I go, “Yes, sir,” or “Yes, ma’am.” I don’t sit there and have a debate and film the police officer…”-Joe Scarborough
    Proving that even Joe himself knows that he’s not a journalist.

      Beat me to the punch. Oh well, great minds.

      Of course he isn’t. That’s why he’s not on the scene, and instead sitting in a studio speculating about how useless he’d be on the scene.

    Joe Scarborough is nothing more than an armchair quarterback. Since he’ll never be asked to on-site report, he’s gonna do the next best thing – trash the reporters already there.

    He reminds me of old geezer John Bolton. Since he’s got one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel, the government would never ask him to serve in any war. So it just stands to reason he’s gonna warhawk on any media outlet that will give him a platform.
