In Praise of Joe Scarborough
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” is the creation of Joe Scarborough, a former GOP congressman from Florida’s “panhandle,” a Southern Baptist, a graduate of the University of Alabama, an attorney and married to Mika Brzezinski, his third wife.
Joe appears on his own talk show and is representative of many former Congressmen in his down-to-earth mannerism.
This week Joe’s programming revealed the depth of his political “conservative” politics, something I had begun to question. Each day this week, the last part of Morning Joe has featured discussions with historians Thomas Ricks and Joseph Ellis.
The topics: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and the “Founding Fathers.”
How refreshing for MSNBC to feature this discussion and thank you Joe Scarborough!
