5. From Demopedia...
Edited on Thu Jan-20-05 05:37 PM by RobertSeattle
Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because "The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury."


On Edit: This all happened right around the Condit Affair - where a (D) was hung out to dry by the press and they nothing was made of the (R) event.

6. Because his aide was found dead in his office
when he was in Congress. Her death has never been explained. http://www.truthout.org/docs_01/01.05B.Klausutis.1.htm

11. Oh, I guess you didn't hear, well, remember Gary Condit?
Well, while all the 24 Hour Cable "news" channels where devoting 60% to 70% of there air time, destroying Condit's re-election chances, Joe "I killed my Florida Intern, and still got my own cable 'news' Show" Scarborough, had a bit of a scandal too. Good thing he worked for GWBush in the 2000 Florida Election, the Bushies took care of it for him. :smoke:

Does Anybody in the Press Care About Lori Klausutis?

A young female employee of one of Florida's Congressmen had died unexpectedly in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent. Klausutis' boss, Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress prematurely and unexpectedly, amid rumors about his marital fidelity and soon after a divorce. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun, claiming that resigning from Congress and as publisher was necessary to spend more time with his sons.

The results of the mandated autopsy, however, were deemed "inconclusive" by Dr. Michael Berkland
Dr. Michael Berkland, it turns out, has a very interesting background himself. Recently relocated to Florida, it is a matter of public record that Dr. Berkland's medical license in the state of Missouri was revoked in 1998 as a result of Berkland reporting false information regarding brain tissue samples in a 1996 autopsy report. Berkland does not deny the charges.

It's also a matter of public record that he was suspended from his position as Medical Examiner in the State of Florida in July, 1999

3. Because. Dammit an hour a day on cable tv just isn't enough
Methinks that Rush's star is not twinkling as brightly as before, and ole DeadGirl Joey has that appeal to the youngsters that media just loves... Rushhie may be on the way out..

12. Maybe somebody should warn the interns
working at the station - they might have some "heart conditions" that they're unaware of . . .

Kinda like the guy who flew all the way from Las Vegas to Pittsburgh PA just to commit suicide in Scaife's restroom . . .

15. It's funny how many "Heart Attacks" happen to "friends" of *
Lot's of "Blows to the head" and gunshot to the head "suicides" too.

"The List" is back on line.

But, I'm sure these are ALL just coincidental.:crazy:

16. MSNBC must be thrilled-
he barely shows up for work now for his one-hour show on their network. Bet he doesn't show up at all now--but it's not like that would be a bad thing. :evilgrin:
