Joe Scarborough aka Joe Scarfarce (”Republican”) strikes again. He made a really bad remark about Fred Thompson’s wife. A transcript of the remarks is as follows:
JOE SCARBOROUGH, host, “Morning Joe”: Have you seen, um, have you seen Fred Thompson’s wife?
CRAIG CRAWFORD, Congressional Quarterly: Oh, yeah!
SCARBOROUGH: You think she works the pole?
CRAWFORD: That’s what Hollywood careers will do for you, I guess.
SCARBOROUGH: [Laughs] What do you mean?
CRAWFORD: You get wives like that.
SCARBOROUGH: I mean, look at that guy. God bless him, I love his voice, but I mean, you know, he ain’t Robert Redford in ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.’
CRAWFORD: Well, I’d like to see him get back into politics, ’cause I think he’s a lousy actor!
I’m not a big fan of “Republican” Joe Scarborough. In fact, I dislike remarks about any candidate’s spouse/child. I wonder if MSNBC will follow its “Don Imus” policy and fire Mr. Scarborough.
See what all the wifely fuss is about at Hedgehog Report.

Joe Scarborough is an idiot.

I’ll second that. Dave W. at Hedge just posted some other information about Thompson’s wife.

Wow. I’d love to see Joe Scarborough say that directly to Fred Thompson’s face….

Pretty shocking comment, if you ask me.

Yeah, Scarborough is and always has been idiotic. I really hope they don’t take him off the air though, for something so minor. Talk about a PC world.

[...] candidate Fred Thompson, and boy is he a lucky boy. For some reason she is getting dissed as too hot for Washington, but I think anyone who can so obviously relieve stress from the most powerful man in the world is [...]

There’s an update to this post. Scarfarce’s people are saying that his pole reference had to do with “some kind of women’s exercise in a gym?” I can’t stop laughing.

I wonder if Lisab can add any insight?

You think LisaB was a pole dancer? Hmmmmmm

Scarborough is an idiot, but Thompson’s wife is uber-hot! Good for him.
June 6th, 2007 at 9:43 am
Good one, McCain.

i think i’d probably need surgery before i could be a pole dancer …
but … i’d have no qualms about taking money from stupid men …
it has all the good parts of prostitution with none of the downsides
i would say that only men would actually pay to see someone of the opposite sex dance naked but i guess there are a few male strippers. i can’t imagine why … but there are

Fred Thompson referred to his “media critics” (ie Joe Scarfarce) as bozos last night on FNC.
On an aside note - I just googled Joe Scarfarce and there are 4 pages of hits. I should trade mark the name.
