Can't MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann Just Get Along?

Leedog It's apparent that Joe Scarborough and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC can't stand each other. They have
been making verbal attacks against each other, in a round-about way, for a couple years now. Keith has his show called Countdown, which airs weekdays in prime-time. Joe has his show called Morning Joe, which airs weekdays in the morning. Both shows are somewhat holding their own in the ratings, but having these two on opposite ends of the programing schedule is not some kind of fluke. It's reminds me on how when you separate two kids who are fighting and each one is sent to an opposite side of the room. There is no doubt that Keith Olbermann is the main liberal voice of MSNBC. Joe, on the other hand, is the minority voice (Former REP. Congressman) concerning GOP issues and concerns. Joe and his points of view are definitely out numbered at MSNBC.
In the past Presidential election, Joe was talking about McCain and how his campaign was starting to
gain momentum (this was after McCain said that fundamentals of the economy were strong). While Joe was speaking, Keith stated under his breath "Does someone have a shovel?" Obviously meaning Joe didn't know what he was talking about and was basically full of SHIT! Luckily, for entertainment purposes, Joe heard him and called him on it by saying "What did you say, I didn't hear you?" I was impressed on how Joe stood up for himself, but right there and then you had the feeling that the two men wanted to finish the discussion with their fists. I love it! Here's two stubborn news anchors, who have two different perspectives, on the same news channel, acting like school kids throwing insults at each other. Each one has disregarded professionalism for the opportunity to make the other person look like a fool.
Just When you thought maybe things have settled down, Joe mentioned in a recent interview that he felt embarrassed in how certain MSNBC news anchors were gleefully commenting on the Sanford disappearance story. I'm sure we all know who he was talking about. Going up against Lord Olbermann has proven to me that Joe Scarborough is a man who will stand up for what he believes in, even though the odds are against him. Olbermann has only proven that he is in total control and if you disagree with him your an idiot. keep it up fellas, your lack of professionalism is providing us with some good entertainment.

the difference between olbermann and scarborough usually comes down to facts. scarborough rarely has any and obermann rarely shows up without them.
Please,... If you go onto the many many blogs who have been boycotting both Joe and and Starbucks because of Joe, you will see how his audience is shrinking. He is obnoxious, self -serving and forever bringing up his years as congressman like it was a tic. He is also insulting and ovebearing to any guests he has on his show who disagree with him. His facts are never researched but made up to suit his right wing opinions. He is hoping he might be considered for a potential presidential candidate for the republican party. The Last Best Hope is part of his strategy. His best bet is to move to Faux news and take his team with him including racist Pat Buchanan, stupid Mika who just blew it with her "real americans" remark and baby boy Wille. I don't watch them anymore on the advice of so many who used to but refuse to let Joe ruin one more morning of their lives ... As for Keith I can't blame him for the shovel remark .. it's what the bloggers say about Joe everyday .. they all can't be wrong about Joe .. he rubs so many the wrong way.. I watched CNN this morning and the contrast of having a true professional juxtaposed with Joe truly reflects what a big overgrown frat boy he truly is ... No one wants to watch some old frat boy show off for 3 hours strait ...
Mika is worse than Joe, because she's basically just Joe's blonde cheerleader with no insight of her own. As a result, she laps-up Joe's conservatism and the show becomes overly chummy with little intellectual balance. Replace Mika with Lawrence O'Donnell, a vigorous liberal who could go toe-to-toe with Joe, and you'd have a sterling show.
