Newt Gingrich has an ego as big as all outdoors, or at least a big as Donald Trump’s. He’s a historian with only a nodding acquaintance with text book history and his own self-professed place in it. The other thing Newt has is a propensity for pissing people off. People like voters and political allies in his own party. While this isn’t an altogether useless skill in an election, it isn’t so great when a President has to work with people rather than through them. If cockroaches will survive nuclear holocaust Newt will be right there tossing garbage to them.Newt Gingrich has an ego as big as all outdoors, or at least a big as Donald... more

Conservative MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said on Sunday that former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s thumping of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in South Carolina Saturday showed that the Republican base was “revolting” against the party establishment.
During a round table discussion on NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd explained that Gingrich’s win was “about Mitt Romney.”
“He hasn’t made the sale to conservatives,” Todd observed. “And losing in South Carolina, he can’t dismiss it. This is the heart and soul of the conservative movement, the folks that show up at telephones, that knock on the doors — and he doesn’t have their support.”
“There’s no doubt about it,” Scarborough agreed. “The party base is revolting, but they are revolting against the Washington Republican establishment anointing Mitt Romney.”
“Just like Herman Cain was not about Herman Cain. It was a rejection of Mitt Romney. Rick Perry, a rejection of Mitt Romney. Michele Bachmann, a rejection of Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich wave one, a rejection of Mitt Romney. Now we have Newt Gingrich wave two, a rejection of Mitt Romney.”
Scarborough continued: “Mitt Romney could attack Newt for not being a conservative because Newt is not a conservative. Google it! We [Republicans] ran him out of Congress in 1998 because he sold us out on taxes, he sold us out on spending, he went to the floor and he sided with Democrats on his last speech, calling us the perfectionists caucus. He called us jihadists. He’s not a conservative, he’s an opportunist. But here is the problem: So is Mitt Romney.”

As if things weren’t already volatile in the world of political extreme, John Kerry (D-MA) threw gasoline into a combustible mix last night at a PCW house show.
Talking with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, Kerry said this…
And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it’s exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual.
It doesn’t deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what’s real, of who’s accountable, of who is not accountable, of who’s real, who isn’t, who’s serious, who isn’t?
Average Joe (Tea Party) responded in kind…
Dictionary definition of “free speech”: Liberty to express opinions and ideas without hindrance, and especially without fear of punishment. John Kerry’s definition of “free speech.” Liberty to express opinions and ideas THAT AGREE WITH OUR POSITIONS. They will be ostracized from society, they will be labeled a threat to national security, they will be called “unpatriotic”, “un-American”, “a terrorist” and “a racist” and they will be vilified until they succumb to the ONLY ACCEPTABLE POLITICAL VIEW – that of John F. Kerry. By the way, does the F stand for fascist?
That set off another pier six free for all between the Democrats and the Tea Party. Again, Charlie Blackwell and his Les Miserables joined the outnumbered Tea Party to even up the odds.
This battle isn’t going away any time soon.
Daniel-San’s (I) big win at CWC’s Golden Dreams show last weekend headlined a very active and interesting week in the land of political extreme.
Dominating the week was the PCW Debt Crisis. Tempers flared Monday night on PCW Extreme Political TV…
Mike Doyle (D-PA) and several Democrats stomp out to the ring with Aide de Camp Joe Biden (D) and says the agreement sucks.
The Tea Party, of course, took exception to this. Average Joe…
Average Joe fires back and blames both mainline parties for this!
After a commercial break, ‘Hardball’ Chris Matthews, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, the Angry Left Wing Bloggers (Markos Moutilsas, Paul Krugman, Eric Boehlert, and Arianna Huffington) are brawling with the Tea Party when…
‘Do You Hear the People Sing?’ from the musical Les Miserables begins to play and Independents Charlie Blackwell and “No Frills” Chris Escondido race out with Blackwell’s Les Miserables and clean house. Matthews, Markos, O’Donnell, Krugman, Boehlert, and Huffington are ejected from the ring.
*YOU’RE THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD!*
Then PCW King of Extreme Titleholder Keith Olbermann of Current TV and his FOK buddies Shannyn Moore, David Shuster, and Rachel Maddow attack Blackwell and Escondido.
So after all that, you’d think that everyone would have got all their frustrations and anger out of their system by the time PCW Politics Is War on P-SPAN aired Thursday night…
MSNBC’s Martin Brashir and psychologist and addiction expert Stanton Peele are in the ring psychoanalyzing the Tea Party. Peele compares the Tea Party to Norway’s mass murderer Anders Breivik and says they will lash out like Breivik did if they fail to attain that high.
Def Leppard’s ‘Tear It Down’ begins to play and the Extreme Equalizer, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, makes his way down to the ring. Bashir and Peele get grabbed by the neck. Then, kick to the stomach, twin chokeslams to the floor, and WTF flips both of them off.
Suave: “I love it when cultural bigots get theirs.”
Later in the show, Hollywood actor Matt Damon gets into the act…
The California Teachers Union: “Foul Pole” Andy Golatta (D), Malibu Dusty (D), and their pet governor on a leash Jerry Brown (D-CA), are in the ring with Damon. Damon declares incentives — like bonuses for good performance or ending tenure for bad ones — don’t work for teachers.
Average Joe and the Tea Party come out.
“First off, Matt. Here’s the difference between me and you. You support big teacher’s unions; I support teachers. And Mr. Damon, I encourage you, who as a rich celebrity is a corporation upon himself, to graciously offer to pay more of your income in taxes and set a good example for others like you to follow…”
Damon snaps and goes Jason Bourne on Average Joe. Golatta and Malibu Dusty attack NRA and McAvay. It looks bad for the Tea Party. Then CHUCK @#$#-ING NORRIS! comes out and decks Golatta with a roundhouse kick. Norris drops Malibu Dusty with a roundhouse kick. Norris turns to Damon, smiles, and blasts him with a thrust kick.
Later on, Mike Doyle (D-PA) tries to explain the remarks he made on PCW Extreme Political TV Monday night. Doyle says that he really didn’t call the Tea Party terrorists when he called them terrorists. Joe Biden, PCW CEO Barack Obama’s aide de camp, joins Doyle and assures everyone that Doyle is correct- they really weren’t calling the Tea Party terrorists when they called them terrorists.
Sarah Palin races down the aisle with a harpoon gun and Doyle and Biden take off running. Palin chases them around the ring several times before Doyle splits off and goes one way, Biden the other. Palin follows Biden and just as Biden reaches the back, she fires the harpoon gun at him…
“The Insanely Mad Hungarian” Alec Hrabosky (I) destroyed Jered Weaver of the LA Angels and Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers in a handicap match where Weaver and Verlander spent more time fighting each other instead of Hrabosky.
The speculation about Rick Perry (R-TX) jumping into the PCW CEO race continued to percolate and Texas Jack’s performance Thursday night did nothing to dispel that.
Texas Jack (R) w/Rick Perry (R-TX) vs. Jamie Walker (R) w/Jon Huntsman (R-UT)
Jack acts as if he totally wants to kill Walker and thus makes him suffer as much as possible. Perry even gets in on the fun when he stops Huntsman from throwing in the towel when Texas Jack puts Walker in the crossface. Then Jack starts spiking him in the head, and forces Walker to quit @ 7:52
Magnum PO’d (R) w/Robyn Masters defeated ‘Bureaucrat’ Andy Riley (D)
Finally, two former PCW Champions and a Hall of Famer return…
The crowd stands as PCW CEO Barack Obama appears. Behind Obama, Joe Biden peeks his head out and refuses to come out. Obama finally orders Biden out and the aide de camp reluctantly does. Palin’s harpoon sticks out of his ass.
Suave: “Well, there’s a visual I’ll never be able to get out of my mind.”
Obama gets on the mic and thanks everyone for the well wishes on his 50th birthday. He announces that he, in turn, has a surprise for all of us. A spotlight shines in the back and then the crowd explodes when former PCW Champion O’Beck Bahama makes his way to the ring.
Bahama thanks the crowd for the ovation and then wants to know what happened to the ‘change.’ Three years ago, Bahama says we were fighting for change and hope for more civility. He’s come back to PCW and things haven’t changed a whole lot. Then PCW Champion Yamamoto Tanaka, Harry Reid (D-NV) and Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Kevin Scott (R), Triple R (D), ‘The One Man Hollywood A-List’ Stone Chism (D), and PCW Television Champion Daniel-San (I) add their two cents.
Then Bahama responds…
Out walks PCW Hall of Famer and former PCW Champion ‘Not Just Unbearable, Not Just Intolerable, He is JUSTIN SUFFERABLE! Singapore cane in hand, Sufferable points it at Triple R, Stone Chism, and finally, Yamamoto Tanaka.
Sufferable is back as O’Beck Bahama’s manager. If Bahama is back in form then Tanaka, Scott, Triple R, and Daniel-San had better watch their back.As if things weren’t already volatile in the world of political extreme, John... more

On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this morning, host Joe Scarborough delivered a scathing rant against Glenn Beck. According to Scarborough, Glenn is “losing it before our eyes” and is “bad for the conservative movement.”
“He’s bad for the Republican party. He’s bad for Fox News. It’s that simple,” Scarborough said, referring specifically to Glenn’s recent work to uncover the socialists, progressives, and unions behind the unrest in Egypt and Wisconsin.
Guest commentator Pat Buchanan added that Republicans have a “responsibility and a duty” to make sure Beck isn’t speaking for conservatives.
Scarborough refers to a recent blog post by conservative writer Peter Wehner calling Glenn, “The most disturbing personality on cable television.” I talk to Pete from time to time and have a good deal of respect for his analysis most of the time. I found his most recent posts on Glenn, however, to be pretty shallow. It’s a popular sport to make dramatic denunciations of Beck themes without really engaging in a discussion of the arguments.
I’ve been involved in mainstream conservative thought and politics for 25 years and I can assure you that Wehner and Scarborough are mounting a very weak case. I’ve worked with many top conservative leaders and politicians. Glenn is about as thoughtful and sincere in his approach to political argument as anyone I’ve met. The depth and range of discussion around the Mercury and Blaze offices is the most interesting and electrifying of any place I’ve worked.
This weekend I’ll be posting a more thorough response to the Wehner/Scarborough arguments. For now, watch the clip and help kick start my weekend response in the comments!

Former Republican Congressman and current MSNBC personality Joe Scarborough used his latest Politico column to unload criticism on presumed presidential aspirant Sarah Palin, in the process telling conservatives that it’s high time to “man up” against the former Alaska Governor and her “dopey dream” of making it to the White House.
“Republicans have a problem,” Scarborough writes at Politico. “The most-talked-about figure in the GOP is a reality show star who cannot be elected.”
Palin has no business running for president, as she’s hinted she might – her resume is so thin ‘it makes the political biography of Barack Obama look more like Winston Churchill’s.’
He continued: “And yet the same leaders who fret that Sarah Palin could devastate their party in 2012 are too scared to say in public what they all complain about in private. Enough. It’s time for the GOP to man up.”
Joe Scarborough, who recently returned to MSNBC, had so much ammunition built up against Sarah Palin that he didn’t even find her latest embarrassing blunder – telling Glenn Beck that the U.S. must support its ‘North Korean allies’ – worth mentioning.

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she could beat President Barack Obama in 2012 and is “looking at the lay of the land” for a possible presidential campaign.
In the interview with ABC News’ Barbara Walters., Palin said she is undecided about whether to run. “I’m looking at the lay of the land now, and … trying to figure that out, if it’s a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it’s a good thing,” the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee said.
Sarah Palin isn’t running for President yet, but if she does, she says she’ll win. “I believe so,” the ex-Alaska Gov. said when she was asked if she thought she could beat Obama.
Though she lost the election to Barack Obama when paired with John McCain in 2008, Palin thinks she could win in a rematch.
“I’m looking at the lay of the land now, and…trying to figure that out, if it’s a good thing for the country, for the discourse, for my family, if it’s a good thing,” Palin told Walters, in an interview that will air Dec. 9 as part of “10 Most Fascinating People” year-end special.

Conservative Joe Scarborough gave right wing nuts a righteous spanking this morning. MSNBC's Joe Scarborough is angry with right wing radio and the right wing nuts listening.

At issue are remarks that Glenn Beck made on the vertigo-inducing AM funny farm known as Fox And Friends. Beck said that President Barack Obama had "over and over again" shown himself to be "a guy who has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture," later adding, "I'm not saying he doesn't like white people, I'm saying he has a problem ... This guy is, I believe, a racist."
Joe, wherever he was, had Twitter at the ready, which he used to blast out his own take on the matter: "Conservatives attacked the Dixie Chicks for saying much less about President Bush than what Beck said about President Obama."

MSNBC morning host Joe Scarborough absentmindedly let slip an expletive during Monday morning's broadcast.
"These are good decent steady men who don't go around flipping people off or screaming 'fuck you' at the top of their lungs," Scarborough said, (about the 2:30 point in the below video).
The host apparently was oblivious that he had let the word slip; he was praising Barack Obama and the president-elect's stable of campaign advisers, contrasting them with the bare-knuckled approach of incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
Notably, this isn't the first time Scarborough has let the expletive slip during a live broadcast. In 2006, Scarborough described his introduction from host Tucker Carlson as "pretty fucking awesome."

"Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough let the f-word slip at 8:13 EST Monday morning, talking about Rahm Emanuel's rumored-dirty mouth. Unaware at first he had said "fuck" instead of "f-word," Scarborough was soon set straight and spent much longer apologizing for the swear word.
Watch as he comes to realize he slipped up, begins to fear his wife's reaction, and starts apologizing. "Did I say the word?... My wife is going to kill me when I get home... I'm going to go get some soap."

What killed me the most about this election was the pundits. They were wrong on just about every level. If you'll remember they had Hillary matched up against Rudy G. at the onset and counted John McCain out a couple of times. And they completely ignored the eventual winner until after Iowa and they realized the error of their collective ways.
Among the wrongest of the wrong was Joe Scarborough. With is usual swagger and unjustified confidence he declared Sen. McCain campaigned dead, thought Mitt Romney would eventually pull it out after claiming Rudy would be the Republican winner. When Sen. Obama emerged he declared him a "flash in the pan" and decided the youth vote would not turn out because "they never do". In typical Joe fashion he gets a little too candid on air - through no fault of his own, of course. What killed me the most about this election was the pundits. They were wrong on just... more

When MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough appeared on the Colbert Report on Wednesday, Stephen Colbert immediately got him off balance by noting, "The last time you were here, you admitted that you took money from Jack Abramoff."
"What's with that!" yelled Scarborough. "This is all you have for me?"
"That was just the preamble of the question," Colbert explained. "I just wanted to know if you wanted to reveal anything about your relationship with William Ayers while you were here."
After Scarborough had denied having ever been involved in bomb-making, Colbert asked, more seriously, "No, but are you covering this whole thing, that Obama's buddy-buddy with Ayers?"
"We talked about it," Scarborough acknowledged, adding, "It is not relevant to where the story is right now."
"But that's why you talk about it, right?" asked Colbert. "You've got to talk about it even if it's not relevant."
"I don't think you understand," explained Scarborough. "We talk about it because it's not relevant."
"I've heard you guys say, like, 'We shouldn't be talking about this -- this is the McCain campaign making us connect the dots," insisted Colbert.
"You get it backwards," replied Scarborough. "You see, what we do is we talk about it for a very long time, and then we reveal -- after the ratings come in and it helps us out -- that we shouldn't be talking about it."
Colbert then asked, "How does McCain win this one, Joe? How does McCain bring it out of the pooper?"
"It's too late," Scarborough replied, as the audience cheered. "When there was peace and propersity you could talk about certain issues, but you can't at this point -- you have to talk about the economy."
"Look how MSNBC has changed you!" marveled Colbert.
"I know," admitted Scarborough ruefully.When MSNBC host and former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough appeared on the... more
