Scarborough questions.
F9/11 is nowhere near me so I won't be able to take the trip until Friday. So here in the dark I'm watching Joe "what dead staffer?" Scarborough trashing it.

All great, and most good, lies contain truth, so as Joe Deadstaffer drones on about how Moore ridicules the troops in the field by cutting the film to seem as if they were "listening to heavy medal while killing Iraqi children." I'm curious what part of that lie is truthful?

2. I wonder if he's seen it
But with today's media, it may be asking too much.

3. I can't believe my grandma likes him.
The guy is an idiot along the lines of O'Rielly and Hannity. Yet she does not seem fazed by the dead staffer story.

5. Those Repug Dogs
Sure got game even with the most despicable history. Newt, Oxy-Rush, Scarborough etc. they smell like skunks yet they press with the need to feed their black hole egos.

4. The Roof Is On Fire ....
One soldier told of wiring his helmet so he could listen to heavy metal -- The Roof In On Fire -- while the city was burning.

6. how absurd
Scarborough is an idiot. There's a scene where some young troops are describing how they can put a CD in to a CD player inside the tank and the music will play inside the tank and through the speakers of their helmet. Some said that listening to music helped pump them up and get them ready for battles.

After a few minutes of them talking about this, one soldier holds up a disk that his group prefers to listen to and how they listen to one song in particular. Then you see a close up of just his face and he starts to sing: "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire (cut to footage of Iraq being bombed and the actual music of the song now playing in the background) we don't need no water, let the mother fucker burn (more footage of, well, war) burn mother fucker, BURN".

It never looked like those specific soldiers did the bombing that was shown once the song started.

Did Scarborough also describe the troops who looked scared? Angry? Those who were brave? Tired and Homesick? Confused? Overly confident? Those who looked no different from us when we go to work and do our jobs? Sure, the troops weren't always portrayed as perfect. This is because they were portrayed as human...young men and women in war...the good, the bad, and heaven forbid even the ugly.

7. He was terrible tonight, I had to turn it off
He blames Moore for allegedly saying that BUSH let the BinLadens fly out on Sept13th, when in fact CLARKE said that he approved the flights. This is supposed to discredit Moore. It only shows that the entire administration was too close to the Saudis! He never asked why Clarke, acting alone, would have approved this w/o Bush.

Scarborough should investigate that girl who died in his office in Pensacola a few years back! That's an amazing story.
