It seems that they’re having a spat over at MSNBC. From Mark Finkelstein:
JOE SCARBOROUGH: I will let you know that “my party,” my party, loathes me, much more than your party, the Democratic party, loathes me.
DAVID SHUSTER: Well that’s a whole ‘nother issue, but the fact of the matter is –
SCARBOROUGH: No, it’s not another issue, because you said –
SHUSTER: The party you served with in Congress have repeatedly suggested, they have ridiculed –
SCARBOROUGH: What about your party? What’s your party? David Shuster, David: what’s your party?
SHUSTER: I have no party. I’m a complete independent.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh, you’re independent. Just like all –
SHUSTER: I’ll show you my voting card. I’ll show you how I’m registered later.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh, I feel so comforted by the fact that you’re an independent. I bet everyone at MSNBC has “independent” on their voting cards. “Oh, we’re down the middle now.” Go ahead, David. No, no, go ahead. You’re an independent David. Go ahead. Talk about my party. Go ahead.
SHUSTER: Are you done?
SCARBOROUGH: No, I’m not done, when the fact is that I’m about as down-the-middle as anybody on television on any network, and you come in with a cheap shot, calling up “your party.”
(A bit later, Scarborough jabbed Shuster over his tardiness.)
SCARBOROUGH: Do you never watch this show?
MIKA BRZEZINSKI: He’s on this show!
SCARBOROUGH: You must be asleep. Oh, that’s right. You usually sleep through the show.
BRZEZINSKI: Sto-o-p-p-p.
SCARBOROUGH: Because you didn’t show up three times in a row! Three times you slept through your alarm and didn’t come on this show.
SHUSTER [to fellow panelists]: That’s how the argument works.
I’m afraid Shuster won that round, but it will be up to Keefums to keep order at the leftist, little cable network.
