White House: Scarborough 'A-Hole' For Mocking Nobel

White House: Scarborough 'A-Hole' For Mocking Nobel

By Mark Finkelstein (Bio | Archive)
October 9, 2009 - 07:26 ET

Update 12:35 | Lachlan Markay - DNC Communications Director likens GOP to terrorists

What a morning at Morning Joe! First, a "senior White House official" sent an email calling Joe Scarborough an "a-----e" for mocking Pres. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. A bit later, responding to Rush Limbaugh's depiction of Scarborough as a "neutered, chickified moderate," Scarborough repeatedly claimed that Pres. George W. Bush had Rush's "testicles in a blind trust."

Scarborough and Time's Mark Halperin—whom no one would accuse of being a right-wing hack—had some good-natured fun with the Nobel news. A laughing-out-loud Scarborough suggested among other things that Marisa Tomei was more deserving of her Academy Award. But the Messiah will not be mocked, and it wasn't long before NBC's Savannah Guthrie, on the set, announced that she had received an email from "a senior White House official" telling Joe to "stop being an a------e" [spelled out in the original, according to Savannah]. Mika Brzezinski tried to soft-pedal the insult, claiming the White House was "joking." Real side-splitter! Is this the new standard of civility from Dems so offended by "you lie"?

No Peace Prize is likely to be awarded to Scarborough or Rush Limbaugh anytime soon. War has broken out between the two. Scarborough initiated hostilities by criticizing Rush for reveling in PBO's Olympic failure. Rush returned fire yesterday, calling Scarborough a "neutered, chickified moderate." This morning, Scarborough repeatedly claimed that W had Rush's "testicles in a blind trust" for eight years. Joe asserted that he had early and often warned Republicans against profligate spending during the Bush years, while others stood by in support of the president.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Will Rush riposte? Tune in at 12!

Note: who was that "senior White House official" who sent the 'a-----e' email? My guess is Robert Gibbs, a frequent Morning Joe guest. We know Gibbs has been on the Nobel beat since early today, Morning Joe mentioning it was he who woke PBO at 6 AM with the news.

UPDATE

Another top Democratic official has thrown his hat in the ring and derided conservatives for mocking Obama's Nobel prize, this time likening the Republican party to "the terrorists" (via Ben Smith at POLITICO).

"The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas this morning - in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO. "Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize - an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride - unless of course you are the Republican Party.

"The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim," Woodhouse said.

I hope Rush goes to war. Frankly, a "war" between two media conservatives can only be fun. For one thing, no one is really going to get hurt by it. Pundits at war is like having Newark at war with Conan O'Brien. No one is really getting hurt, so have some fun. Be funnier in your putdowns than your opponent. The wittier and more sarcastic, the better. Just no one take it too seriously. In other words, let's have a good old fashioned brawl. Pull out all the stops.

As for the White House? Who cares? They're a pack of over-sensitive, wussy cowards anyway. The biggest bunch of crybabies ...

was just on Fox News. He said that what Barry really won was the Nobel-Not George Bush-Peace Prize. He listed the Nobel committee's idiocy, from Jimmy Carter's "Peace Prize" in 02 to Algore's Nobel to this brilliance from the leftards in Oslo.

Before the libs jump up and down, demanding we honor 0, please, let us know what he's done to deserve even being nominated for a Nobel, much less what he's actually done? Besides putting an education czar in who's a pedophile, a green jobs czar who's a commie, and basically, so much corruption, there's enough there for 5 administrations.

Rush is right again.

October 9, 2009 - 07:53 ET by Tenebrous

Rush is right again. Scarborough is a neutered, chickified moderate. So he points out the need to stop the insane spending? Wow. Even thinking liberals see the need for that one.

October 9, 2009 - 08:00 ET by nwahs

Why do radio conservatives gravitate to people's genitals? Mark Levin comments some is "hung like a thumb tack." Rush claims someone is "neutered." I think both are probably closet homosexual - or at least overly fascinated with male parts. Its getting pretty disgusting when conservatives cant disagree without shoving their nose up someone's crotch.

First, Scarborough (some remark about Rush's testicles being kept by W, which is a real strech) is on TV. Second, he's no conservative. If he were a politician, he'd be a "RINO," assuming he ran as a Republican.

I guess we need a different word for perceived "conservative commentators" that are in no way, shape or form actually conservative. How about Conservative As Promoted Only, or CAPO.

And spare us from Obama's false humility, if he was truely humble he would decline the Prize knowing that two weeks in office accomplishing nothing does not merit being recognized for anything. Only a self absorbed egomaniac would accept such an award under those circumstances. Really folks, it's getting to the point of embarrassment to be called an American Citizen.

October 9, 2009 - 08:13 ET by justbob223

The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama is a clear demonstration that the prize is officially meaningless. Consider the rogue's gallery of recipients in past years - Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore. Obama has done nothing worthy of a nomination, must less of the prize itself. I laughed out loud this morning when I heard the news because it is laughable.

Covering for Obama is NOT reporting the news, that's media bias called propaganda. What's news worthy is a Whitehouse official calling someone an a.....e in an attempt to get them NOT to criticize Obama. Since when is it the media's job to cover up the obvious absurdity of being award a prize for doing ZERO? SINCE WHEN? The point of the so called Fourth Estate is to hold public officials ACCOUNTABLE and that means putting questions to them to EXPLAIN their actions and words. Engaging in anything LESS than their self proclaimed mission IS BIAS.

What you think the job of the media is to kiss Obama's booboos to make them better? You think the job of the media is to spin everything positive for a Democrat politician? You know darn well they don't do that for the opposition party. Anything less than consistent behavior of the MSM is BIAS.

The world has honestly become a full fledged joke.

They just made a complete mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize.

agree

October 9, 2009 - 09:21 ET by Mike76

Yes, you are right. They're giving the Nobel Peace prize to a man who has done nothing but make a mess of things. It could be an attempt to "self-esteem up" Obama, who comes across to me as insecure and fragile, but also arrogant and self-centered. I bet he's feeling all puffed up over his new bling-bling.

It's seems to me like it's giving the kid who finishes last in a race a trophy, so he doesn't feel "bad about himself."

Well, it'll probably give the "Hope, change, Yes we can!" crowd a month to ooh and ahh the greatness that is Obama. But when it sinks in, I think it will probably make the Nobel Peace prize meaningless in many people's eyes, like you say

Do we seen a recent trend toward awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to left wing whack jobs? Why, I think we do.

Truly Deserving

October 9, 2009 - 09:08 ET by easygoer

My English friend who lives in Cardiff, Wales emailed this to me the other day:

In May 2008 Irena Sendler died. During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a plumbing/sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive'. She knew what the Nazi's plans for Jews were. Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, for larger kids. She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.. During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family. Most had been gassed. Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007 Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected. Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

If I were Limbaugh, I'd say "bring it, douche". Last I checked, "Dead Secretary" Scarborough was Limbaugh's lead-in show here in New York...yet delivering no ratings to that prized time slot.

Are these commentators and the WH is one big dogpile? I can't believe they feel free to email someone on the air and tell them to shut about something. This would so make me say more!

I'm not so sure Scarbarough

I'm not so sure Scarbarough is wrong about Limbaugh. Limbaugh seems to be a cheerleader for the GOP, but what I'm really curious about is if the Stalin Peace Prize will be re-instated, and maybe Ayers will win one of those.

Anyone remember "Cult of Personality" by Living Color?

"Neon lights, a nobel prize
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You dont have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
Im the smiling face on your t.v.
Im the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
Im the cult of personality" 'Cult of Personality'
