After Joe Scarborough’s intra-squad snarking of Keith Olbermann yesterday morning, one might have expected a better-behaved Brew Crew today.
No such luck for Chris Matthews – Pat Buchanan had different plans.
In a discussion of the polling data in Virginia’s gubernatorial race, Joe asked Lawrence O’Donnell why the Democrat was doing so poorly in a state that President Obama won by a large margin last year:
JOE SCARBOROUGH: Why [crosstalk] Democrats doing better in Virginia a year after Obama’s historic victory?
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL: Because Obama is Obama! I mean, the notion that Obama going in and getting a historic win in a state like that, suggests that someone else can do it two years later is crazy to me.
JON MEACHAM: It’s not transferable.
O’DONNELL: Obama was the most magical political candidate we’ve seen in a long time.
SCARBOROUGH: Yes, and that’s exactly what Pat Buchanan said – “magical.” Yes, Pat.
PAT BUCHANAN [laughing]: Yeah, Joe. Yeah, made my leg tingle.
[laughter on the set]
SCARBOROUGH: I can’t believe he went there.
Two days in a row. This is, in a word: "Magical."

I'll skip the obvious "Magical"
November 3, 2009 - 14:38 ET by BlondeBut I'll add another....it's the Magical Mystery Tour over at Morning Joe's show.....perhaps they're slipping a little more than Mika's Skyye in their coffee.
I hope he fails, too.
Yeh, I was going there too
November 3, 2009 - 14:40 ET by Gat New YorkYeh, I was going there too with the "magical" but thought to just suggest it instead.
Did O'Donnel forget something?
November 3, 2009 - 15:26 ET by OxyConLike the fact that the last two Governors of Virginia were Democrats?
Larry, just like Chuck
November 3, 2009 - 15:36 ET by inquiringmindLarry, just like Chuck Todd a few days ago did not look happy as the Brew Crew busted on them. They can have some wing nuts on there but good for Joe and Pat for calling the "Larry" out.
→ Magic?

Under His Spell
November 3, 2009 - 15:49 ET by miss911ninjaSure he's magical. No doubt about it! His picture should be in the dictionary next to the definition. "Magic: the use of charms or spells believed to have supernatural power."
Nice to remember that spells can be broken!
He's magical, all right.
November 3, 2009 - 16:15 ET by HockeyKidHe's magical, all right. Just don't look behind the curtain.

In a state like that?
November 3, 2009 - 16:34 ET by smgxI was more curious what LAWRENCE O’DONNELL meant when he says...
LAWRENCE O’DONNELL:" Because Obama is Obama! I mean, the notion that Obama going in and getting a historic win in a state like that, suggests that someone else can do it two years later is crazy to me."
I think he was suggesting VA in a racist state?
Creepy Liar!
November 3, 2009 - 17:58 ET by TexndocMr Creepy Liar! looked none too amused at the tingle joke. He may pull a David Shuster and refuse to ever appear with Joe's morning crew again.
(Joe Scarborough might have found something to boost the ratings if he promises to keep inviting MSNBC's regulars in and making fun of them to their faces.)
I got a kick out of what
November 3, 2009 - 18:07 ET by bigtimerI got a kick out of what Pat said this morning...he had me laughing.
O'Donnell is just a pathetic hack...as always.

Rushis on with Levin right
November 3, 2009 - 18:46 ET by bigtimerRush is on with Levin right now...he's saying the race right now in NJ is neck and neck ...with Corzine just hair ahead, these are exit polls though...so we shall see...remember Kerry and his ordeal with the exit polls...heheee.
I sure hope that all the military vote is counted...it sure would help with the cheating from the likes of ACORN and crew.

November 3, 2009 - 18:52 ET by general companyHopefully they have encouraged enough folks to go vote that they send Corzine home

Oh man....you and me both...I hope with all my heart that Corzine is slaughtered in the end...hope springs eternal.
Btw...loved the Reagan words Levin did after Rush was done.

Absentee ballots will carry the night. Wish (hope) it weren't so.

Sad what the enemy within continue to get away with.

We will see
November 3, 2009 - 19:22 ET by general companyObama made 5 visits there and force his campain folks on Corzine. If it was a done deal, Obama wouldnt bother, he is too lazy.

gc... Yeah....I also
November 3, 2009 - 19:26 ET by bigtimergc...
Yeah....I also heard if Corzine didn't do as O's campaign people said, they would pull a Torricelli on him at the last minute.

"Barack, the Magic Negro
November 3, 2009 - 19:27 ET by ReaganRuled"Barack, the Magic Negro lives in DC .."
Is that the magic they speak of?
It may be more in tune with....

E.T. Hands
November 4, 2009 - 01:26 ET by miss911ninjaIch! The thought of those hands gives me the creeps because they're E.T. hands. Have you noticed? He has very slender wrists and long skinny fingers, with hardly any noticeable palm area in between. Maybe Michelle thinks he's got magic hands, but I would have run for the hills!
Get Pat Buchanan to Fox!!
November 6, 2009 - 22:27 ET by chuckkThe only way I can stand to watch Morning Joe is when Pat Buchanan is on. Please, Fox, buy the man a new Lincoln Navigator and a years' supply of Fancy Feast for his and Shelly's cats. Pat has shown so much patience by never once telling Mika B. to "shut up and go clean the kitchen while the men talk politics." His brilliance is wasted on MSNBC and John McLaughlin's alleged "Report." Pat never gets a word in when Eleanor Clift starts doing her karate chop and screeching "EXCUSE ME!" over and over.
chuckk... You are dead on
November 6, 2009 - 22:30 ET by bigtimerchuckk...
You are dead on the money with that.
Thank you...I'm so glad others that have been around and noticed all of this as well.
