An important point missed on Joey Scar's Torture Party hate fest this morning...

I posted a brief synopsis of what happened this morning as Dead Intern Joe and Rudy Guilliani miserably failed in their attempt to gang up on and smack-down Bob Shrum.

Here is the link...

Now here is what is fascinating to me, and hopefully Joey Scar will be dragged before some hearings soon, too. As always, at least several times per show, Joey Scar can't resist the urge to bloviate about his days in Congress, and how he knew everything and he was a great leader. But I think he might have stepped in it this time, at least, if we can bring his words to the attention of the proper authorities. While trying to smack-down Shrum, Joe made the argument that he KNEW what was in the still-classified CIA torture memos, because he "knows people." He insisted "the truth will come out," he was certain of it, because he had inside information.

Now wait a minute...Joey Scar is just a talk-show host. He's not a Congressman anymore. He's a nobody, legally speaking. How the hell does Joe Scarborough have inside information on still-classified government documents? He claimed to have a friend in the CIA...so someone is leaking classified information to a talk show host? To what end? Doesn't this make Joe Scar some sort of accessory to a crime or something? Doesn't he need to come clean about who is "friend" is that is leaking classified government secrets to the media?

After all, isn't America's security at stake here? And Joey Scar is cavalierly bragging about his "inside information" on national television! I think I need to CC a copy of these posts to some people who might want to look into what Joe knows and from whom he got his scoop. Could be interesting.

1. I have stated that the press knew all the time about the torture and sat on the story.

And sat on the story to protect whom?

2. I don't follow these talking idiots' shows, but perhaps a note to KO or Rachel would help.

I was going to recommend an email campaign to whatever station Joe is on, asking them why he's blathering about classified security documents, but doubt they'd respond at all.

The methamphetimine primitive, who's been in trouble before, and who like Pedro Picasso, can't spell:

3. I'd send a complaint to Pennetta and the DOJ, criminal division and the FBI, and ask them to consider investigating his claims that someone in the CIA is leaking classified information to him.

Include the particulars about the date and time of his show (a link if it is on line or even a recorded copy on CD).

Yes, he is the media and can keep his sources secret, but those sources will dry up fast if they find out that his mouthing off has put them in danger of being discovered and prosecuted for the leaks.

9. he's a talk show host, not a journalist. i don't recall any bloviators getting a pass on confidential informants. of course, investigative reporters are few and far between nowadays and the corporate media rules . . .

10. He can claim he is a journalist 

"cable news host" - just like Charlie Gibson, Diane Sawyer, Matt Lauer and the rest of the news program crowd claim to be journalists.

4. K & R --- If There Is Someone At The CIA Leaking Classified Info To Talk Show Hosts......we need to find out who that is. Put Joe the Scar before Congress to get him to fess up. If he refuses to divulge the leaker - put Joe the Scar in jail till he does. This is outrageous. It's time we put a stop to this crap and people like Joe the Scar that claim to have all the answers. Put up or shut up Joe. Maybe Keith should offer Joe money to give up the CIA leaker - just like Keith is offering Hannity money to get waterboarded. Maybe that would silence Joe the Scar.

If he would add to that CC a copy of DUmmy mythsaje's stupid video, he could blow the top off the whole rotten mess.

Thanks.  If I had even stooped down to have thought of what Pedro did, I would have immediately dismissed it for being really stupid.  If I did it everyday like Pedro does, I'd strongly consider getting an appointment with my doctor for a check-up.  Pedro, OTOH, comes up with this foolishness everyday and then merrily passes it on to others as though it was some type of brilliant revelation.  I always get a laugh for what passes as "fascinating" in Pedro's pea-sized head.

Well, one of the things that gets me about Pedro Picasso is that he's too television-reliant.

He appears to get all of his information from the boob-tube.

It's been a long time now, but I once read somewhere that a 30-minute news telecast, say Walter Cronkite on the CBS Evening News, had only 22 minutes of news.  And that 22 minutes of news would barely fill a single column and a quarter, of the New York Times.

Talk about "news lite."

Pedro Picasso's a college graduate; surely he can read.

And as we all know, the daily and weekly pressed is jammed nearly unanimously full of reporters and columnists who think like Pedro Picasso does, and so certainly Pedro Picasso would find them comfortable to read.

Among his other attributes, I'm getting a rather, uh, strong impression that Pedro Picasso is just plain lazy.  It's easier to lay on the couch and watch television, than it is to read a newspaper or newsmagazine.

Typical lazy primitive.

Uhh, I wouldn't be so sure about that if some of my classmates are anything to go by.

But see, Pedro Picasso, who's 50 years old, comes from a different time, when reading was required.

You got that right, Coach! I remember having to read a book and get up in front of the class for book reports. I don't think they require you to read anymore. let alone furnish "book reports" for the class!
