My letter to Joe Scarborough

I'm getting sick and tired of being sick and tired of hearing you bully your co-hosts, especially Mica. You are so unbelievably condescending and you do not have the standing to be that condescending to anyone! That is why I refer to it as bullying and I'm quite sure this isn't the first time you've been accused of such. I flat cannot stand to watch this show over a few minutes at a time because of the HUGE cringe factor created by you. Many of us tune in just long enough to see if maybe you aren't going to be on that day and, if you are, we can be assured that you will be sitting there pontificating over something, which makes some throw stuff at their TVs, but most of us just go to CNN, Imus or Washington Journal. It may be a shock to you but you are not the only choice in the morning. There is no way Mica could ever say anything in any way to suit you so that you wouldn't feel compelled to interrupt her and correct her like she was a student of yours or something. I mean she does not stand a chance! If her goal of the day was to get by for an hour without you stepping all over her lines and interrupting her train of thought, she knows and WE know that would be impossible! Is it possible that maybe Mica's family and background intimidates you a touch? No reason for that as she is in over her head just like you. However, she should not have to deal with your sexist, condescending attitude. You should be ashamed and embarrassed about your behavior but I'm convinced that you have a huge chip on your shoulder of some kind and you are determined to be in the limelight at every minute no matter how rude or obnoxious you have to be to manage that! You are what we call un-embarrassable because you don't seem to have been raised to be embarrassed when caught acting out and you certainly were not taught to respect the thoughts of others. Observing your mother, bless her heart, when she was on your show while back, being totally incapable of even speaking or hardly even smiling, makes me very suspicious of your father, and I wonder if it is he that you take after and I also wonder how you were treated by him.

You know, even if Mica was a student of yours, which would be a joke, and I don't think she is, a good teacher would never make it so blatantly obvious that they were correcting someone in front of others. You relish over it! Unfortunately, you are nobody to learn anything from unless the goal is to learn arrogance and egotism! Get over yourself! Ratings are strange and yours could start going down any minute because I know I'm not that different from any other average person out here! The sad thing is that I used to take up for you in my household and claim you were one of the only Republican pundits I thought to at least try to break out of the "lock step" once in a while and get a breath of fresh air. My opinion of you has totally changed since you begged for and managed to get this show. I'm not alone. I read blogs just full of comments about you from others who feel just like my friends and I do. You still think you are that Republican guy who is fair minded but you have changed personalities since you got this show and it's not been a good thing. You now even carry this behavior with you when you guest on somebody else's show. You always seem to think that your opinion is superior to anyone else's and think you should be the star. Sorry, but want you to suggest that surely there is still time for you to get hold of yourself and maybe get some counseling or something to try and resolve your obvious problems allowing your inner child to insist on being out front and center all the time at the expense of anyone. We all expect you to break into an full fledged tantrum at any minute complete with kicking feet to go with that swelled up red face you get when anyone has the audacity to disagree with anything you have to say!

I am not a fan of Joe Scarborough. I turned off the television immediately after Countdown, except for a point in time where it seemed that Scarborough was attempting to shift to the left for audience ratings. When he moved to the morning, made no difference to me because I never watched Imus, anyway.A few times I've turned it on when I've been up early in the morning but it never stayed long on that channel.  I've always, like you, thought he was extremely rude and condescending to Mica, and it makes me cringe, on the distaff side, to see her in that position. So I turn away.

My particular answer to his show is just not to watch. Yesterday for some reason he was the moderator of Obama's speech on MSNBC so he was impossible to avoid. But otherwise, nothing makes anyone watch him on his show.
