Neurologist Cranford confronted Scarborough, MSNBC daytime anchor: "ou're asking me if a CAT scan was done? How could you possibly be so stupid?"

On the March 28 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, host Joe Scarborough interviewed Dr. Ronald Cranford, one of the two neurologists selected by Michael Schiavo to examine Terri Schiavo pursuant to an October 2001 appellate court mandate. As part of that duty, Cranford "reviewed her medical records and personally conducted a neurological examination of Mrs. Schiavo," according to the June 2003 Florida appeals court review of that hearing.

Following is the transcript of the interview:

SCARBOROUGH: Now, the question on everybody's mind tonight is this: How is Terri Schiavo doing? You know, it's been 10 days. She is starting her 11th day now without food and water. Let's go back to Pinellas Park , where Lisa Daniels is standing by -- Lisa.

DANIELS: Well, Joe, at this point, we are going to delve into the medical aspect of the story. I want to bring in Dr. Ronald Cranford. He's a neurologist at Hennepin Medical Center in Minneapolis. And, Doctor, before we continue, I want our viewers to understand what your role was in the legal case. I understand that Michael Schiavo and his team asked you to examine his wife. Is that correct?.......

1. Joe Scarborough is truly one of the stupidest people on the planet.

So the question is, HOW could he be so stupid? Well, to being with, he's a Republican. Then, he thinks * is a great president and that we're in Iraq to fight terrorists.

3. Watched yesterday, twice - 'Dead Intern Joe' was losing his nut! LOL

I love having network feeds (sat dish) - when it's good, you can watch again!

The good doc apparently hasn't heard he's supposed to quiver & apologize abjectly, when incurring the wrath of DIJ & the ever-so-stoopid Lisa Daniels! I bet little Lisa wished she had stayed on daytime 'fluff & spray' newscasting after her spanking. DIJ was absolutely shocked that someone would holler right back, call HIM stupid, & refuse to be shouted down like his usual victims!

How come doctors like Kitty Frist end up in Congress & not guys like this one? I don't care if he was a dem or repub, he spoke plain & true!

It was friggin' uplifting to watch DIJ get his ass handed to him, like that! LOL

4. Oh, now I get it ....

... so according to Scarborough's logic, if your observations, which are in line with 6 out of 7 other medical experts, is in opposition to what "everybody knows", then you've been "bought off".

Got it.

What an asshat.

5. wow, everyone should read the full transcript

Joe & Lisa got their hats handed to them. Because they could not argue the facts, they launched ad hominem attacks. Very classy.

6. Joe never let the facts get in the way - he is consistent
