Rachel Maddow tried to point out the fallacies in Joe Scarborough's glowing, fact-free praise of John McCain on MSNBC's Race For The White House.
The Scar continues to spew this ridiculous media narrative that John McCain is a "maverick," completely disregarding the myriad of flip flops the aging Arizona senator has made over the past year. Rachel tries to put him in his place, reminding him that McCain has been pandering to the right on all the major issues including permanent tax cuts, immigration and torture, but all Scarborough does is tell her that she doesn't understand the Republican party. True dat, since she is the lone voice of reason and we all know that facts have a liberal bias. Scarborough loves to steamroll Mika Brzezkinski on his morning show, but as you'll see from this video, his bullying style gets him nowhere with Maddow.

Maddowized
I've gushed before about Rachel Maddow's coolness, so it comes as no surprise to see her fan club numbers exploding after her brilliantly smooth smack down of Joe Scarborough this past week. You can watch the video or read the transcript over on Crooks and Liars, or just watch below:

Scar uses his pulpit to spew the Republican storyline and talking points of the day. He typically frames the points with phrases like "what the people are telling me", "what the Republican base is telling me". Like the "base" calls him up and tells him what's on their mind. He's just an organ of his party and when Rachel called him out he got all pissy.
Joe was looking a little uncomfortable toward the end of that beating. Good to see that there are some folks worth listening to on cable news in the U.S.
