Joe Scarborough simply cannot debate Rachel Maddow. Over and over he gets into a verbal fight with her on MSNBC and winds up retreating in a huff because he cannot match her facts. Then he acts all peeved like a kid who wants to take his ball and go home if he doesn't get his way.
So, this time Scarborough apparently walked off the show when Maddow ate his lunch again. Or as the kids would say, she pwned him! In the video below you'll see Scarborough complains that Maddow cut him off and that he doesn't do "Crossfire" -- except it's abundantly clear from the tape that he cut her off. You can rewind and watch it again. He cuts her off and then is indignant when she won't allow it:
I love how Rachel is taking these boys to school. It's so refreshing to have voice of sanity in these debates. She won't let them get away with their spin and outright false information anymore -- and it's driving them crazy.

1. You watch MSNBC, and complain about Fox? LOL
Mel at 11:33PM on Apr 18th 2008
2. So you like crass people like Rachel Maddow, but you thought it was terrible for ABC to lob a few tough character questions about Obama?
Boy -- consistency, thy name is Cenk.
You don't have to shout that you're a liberal. Your logic proves that you think with your left-leaning feelings.
Heath Griner at 11:34PM on Apr 18th 2008
3. wow - two whole comments already! must be a busy night for you huh cenk? maybe d'souza will lend you a few.

4. RACHEL MADDOW A GREAT MIND? WELL MAYBE IN A ROOMFUL OF CENKS.
IRONBLUEEYES at 12:18AM on Apr 19th 2008
5. Anybody care to respond to the actual POINT Maddow made, or shall we just continue to call her 'crass' and 'a great mind compared to Cenk'?
Notice a pattern here? Attack the one who made the point to distract from the fact you have no argument.

6. Joe is such a little twink. I'll bet his wife beats him up every night... then he crys.

7. Well, the truth is - I like both Rachel Maddow and Joe Scarborough. Joe at times is fair for a conservative. But Rachel is absolutely correct in what she is saying - that John McCain has been given a free pass by the media thus far. Rachel was correct to take him to task - Joe should have taken his medicine like a real man and moved on. He should not have acted so childish..
David S. at 1:42AM on Apr 19th 2008
8. OHH, you're absolutely right, Teacher.
I should focus on ideas and quit attacking the messenger ... like Cenk does, right?
I notice you didn't get too upset when your boy Cenk said that Scarborough "acts all peeved like a kid who wants to take his ball and go home if he doesn't get his way."
Teach, you're just as inconsistent as the person you're defending.

9. Rachel has a PHD in Political Science from Oxford University. She was a Rhodes Scholar. Whether you like her or not, joe was rude, probably sleep deprived from doing Morning Joe. He always sounds like he's pontificating. And she was right, he interrupted. Guess he cant take criticism. Sounded bitter.

10. Rachel Maddow is so in love with Obama that she cannot stand ANYBODY to say anything about him, even when it is the truth.
The minute anybody says anything about him she starts shaking her head! She is another one who, no matter what comes out about Obama, she continues to defend him.
I wonder why none of them can admit they made a mistake? It's once they made up their minds for him they are not changing it no matter what awful thing comes out about him!
S. Heath at 2:07AM on Apr 19th 2008
11. Joe is an insecure person with simplistic views and poor impulse control who gets his feathers ruffled easily on his own show when guests or co-hosts outshine him. He interrupts people so often that one staffer uses an air horn to honk at him each time and his co-hosts constantly complain about his rudeness. When co-host Mika wins a point, he either walks off the set or sarcastically tries to insult her. He gets away with this childish behavior because he's the host, although probably not for long as the show's ratings are horrible. I think Joe gets frustrated as he seems not to grasp the more subtle/thoughtful points in a discussion.

12. "Joe Scarborough Walks OF the set"! Shouldn't it be "OFF the set"? By the way why is it that you Turks never stop talking about the Ottoman empire? The question has nothing to do with your rant but it something I have always encountered with Turks. You could be talking about Brittney Spears or curing cancer and a Turk will somehow always bring in the "glory" of the Ottoman's. You guys are better than a sleeping pill.

13. Rachel is sharper than anyone the right can put up to argue its side of any issue. She is a skilled speaker and knows her facts. So, Heath Griner, let's see YOU outline why she is "crass" and can't hold her own in the discussion.
Joe IS a little twink, tho I'd call him a pussyboy. I don't think his wife beats him up every night, but I bet she does pull his pants down and put him OTK for a good spanking! He is just another bullyboy for the right, and you can witness that for yourself by watching 'Morning Joe' and his treatment of Mika and the other pussyboy, Willie.
Come to think of it, maybe mommy spanks Heath Griner as well. No wonder he digs Joe.

14. I don't mean to be condescending Rachel you ignorant naive foolish little woman who knows nothing about life in this mans world. To come across as though I am some elitist snob who suffers grandiose delusions about knowing what all in Scarborough Country are thinking and how they will vote and why but of course I shall do just that... For here in 2002 we Conservative knuckle draggers set the tone of the conversation and you silly Liberals just sit back and listen. We can bring up important issues like lapel pins and where candidates attended school in third grade. You can't talk about McCain not knowing who the enemy is in his Hundred Year War though. We can talk about critical matters like Reverends we think are downright un-American but don't you dare disparage that nice Patriotic Catholic Basher John Hagee. We can talk about Monica but you can't talk about Larry Craig and his wide stance. The wind is blowing in a whole new direction Joey. As a windbag you should know that.

15. I happen to enjoy listening to Rachel Maddow. I think she is bright & well-spoken &, as a woman, she isn't afraid to stand up to the men. And the men HATE being schooled by a woman (i.e., Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan). I don't care who she supports or what the topic, she gets to the point intelligently and succinctly.
I used to hate Scarborough Country when Joe was WAY TOO REPUBLICAN & didn't try to control it or, at the least, not pontificate his bias. Then he kind of mellowed,& he wasn't so hard to watch. Now, on Morning Joe, he is just an a$$hole. He is as bad, if not worse, as Dan Abrams with his constant interrupting & wanting to be right all the time & salacious comments to Jackie (weather) & other women. I cannot believe Mika & Willie tolerate him. They are great & deserve better. Joe is SO RUDE & insulting to Mika...she is the one that should be storming off the set.
I would like to see an Imus-like show with Mika & Willie & on-site guests (but minus misogyny, the 'cast of characters' like the 'impressionist' - &I use the word loosely - & that phony detective who thinks he is that old time comedian who always said the wrong words when he spoke). IMO, THAT's what is missing from the early morning. Something broad based with politicians, writers, performers, humor, current events, etc. I just may email MSNBC and suggest that!!!
Anyway, three cheers for Rachel Maddow!!! You go girl & keep on keeping on!!
