Hagel Hearing: Scarborough
So Contemptuous Of Ted Cruz,
Won´t Mention Him By Name

NewsBusters, by Mark Finkelstein

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/1/2013 10:51:57 AM

Sure, Chuck Hagel might have been a bumbling, stumbling mess at his confirmation hearing yesterday. But the real story was how awful were the Republicans who questioned him. That was the collective judgment of today´s Morning Joe panel. For example, so contemptuous was Joe Scarborough of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, that the Morning Joe host announced that he would not even mention him by name. "Clown show" was the panel´s operative phrase for the Republican performance. Andrea Mitchell, Mika Brzezinski,

Comments:
And I´m extremely contemptuous of Scarborough. Sen. Cruz is one of the few bright spots in Washington. They hate him because he is going to make a huge impact. They thought the Republicans´ questioning of Hagel was a clown show? Look in the mirror.

Joe, the deadwood, Andrea the brain dead ninny and Mika the blonde bimbo--what a CLOWN SHOW on MSNBC!! Atleast someone was asking questions, instead of kissing Hagel´s beeehind like his former colleagues among dRats were doing. This was the same kind of "scratch my back" mentality that resulted in Benghazi, Mali and now Turkey.

They are going after Cruz already. What conservatives need is about 25 politicians as vibrant, insightful and fearless as Cruz. They can´t isolate and destroy 25 politicians all at once. But they can isolate and destroy one fearless conservative politician.
The GOP won´t back Cruz like they wouldn´t back Palin or any other conservative.

Actually I was very impressed with Ted Cruz at the hearings..he looked like he might have a future in presidential politics.......

Cruz was brilliant in his questioning and Hagel refused to answer him. Hagel looked like a fool. MSNBC would rather trash Cruz than admit that Hagel is an idiot!

sad to see Joe sell his soul/integrity/honor for money. he is still quite the politician

Joe Scarborough is on a Morning Show on MSNBC which means that inluding the TOTUS, his cabinet, and all the Democrats in Congress there are approximately 792 people watching the show

I must disagree with Comrade Scarborough and his cohorts. The video evidence of Senator Cruz disemboweling ****uck Hagel was so impressive that I passed it along under the title, "Ted Cruz Crushes a Cockroach."

Here, I´ll share it with you, too:

The first line of #5´s post says it all. Ted Cruz is already like a 2x4 upside the head of these leftist fools. Thanx, Texas, for giving him to us.

[Does my memory serve me correctly? Didn´t a brilliant American patriot go to Texas to rally for Ted Cruz? And didn´t she and her husband Todd stop for Chik-fil-A on the way to the airport? I think we´re gonna be OK, folks. We´ve got lottsa live heroes/heroines...and others...to encourage us.]

The good Senator Cruz is the new Palin. Scarborough and MSNBC constantly demeaning him just an indication of the real threat he poses to them. Noticed yesterday that RNC folks, spinners for our side yesterday didn´t want to single out Cruz for the praise he deserved either. He is the brightest star we have now, IMHO.

I, too, like Cruz. And I expect a relentless series of attacks from the left, to try to eliminate him from presidential politics.
That´s the way the left operates.

It is not the libtards fault, they MUST go after Our New Senator Cruz.

Senator Cruz makes libtards look dumber-than-dirt, and they do not like looking dumber-than-dirt. Too bad they cannot see themselves like we see them.

Just one more example of why "morning joe" is beneath contempt.

Also, another addition to the mountain of reasons Scarbrain should never be listened to by anyone interested in furthering conservatism.

Senator Ted Cruz is doing what the other so-called conservative republicans are afraid to do-- he is telling it like it is!

Its nice to have someone who talks straight and isn´t wussified by all the compromised and cowed washington representatives. He has even inspired his cohort from Texas to find his pair after Washington Kay left town!

What is amazing to me is that the Palin naysayers at this site haven´t yet moved their vitriol to Ted Cruz. You know it´s coming.

Cruz earned his Bachelor of Arts from Princeton University and his J.D., magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School. He was an editor of the Harvard Law Review, an executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.

Cruz also served as a law clerk to William Rehnquist, Chief Justice of the United States, and J. Michael Luttig of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States.

Cruz has authored more than 80 briefs before the United States Supreme Court and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court.

The revelation that the government’s talking points in the wake of the Benghazi attacks were edited to reflect the concerns of a variety of federal agencies has sparked a firestorm of controversy in recent weeks. Some early reports on that email exchange created the erroneous impression that the White House was more deferential to the concerns of State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland, who sought to remove from those talking points a variety of references suggesting the Benghazi attack was the result of a coordinated act of terror. The actual interagency email exchange, released by the Obama administration on Wednesday,

DENVER — Colorado sheriffs upset with gun restrictions adopted in the aftermath of last year’s mass shootings filed a federal lawsuit Friday, challenging the regulations as unconstitutional. The lawsuit involves sheriffs from 54 of Colorado’s 64 counties, most representing rural, gun-friendly areas of the state. The sheriffs say the new state laws violate Second Amendment protections that guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. Opponents are criticizing the lawsuit as political maneuvering. The filing targets Colorado laws that limit the size of ammunition magazines and expand background checks. The regulations

WASHINGTON – Jay Devereaux hadn’t paid much attention to the daily drumbeat of partisan politics in D.C. He wasn’t a Washington nerd, and didn’t know who said what during congressional hearings -- nor did he care. But when news broke that the government was using taxpayer money to bail out Wall Street banks, he started paying attention and didn’t like what he was hearing. So the Florida father and information technology specialist decided to form a group, Unite in Action, to educate people in his area about the issues, he said.

First Lady Michelle Obama has expanded her anti-obesity campaign to museums, enlisting them to offer “healthy food options,” and change their menus. Mrs. Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative is now calling for museums, zoos, gardens, science and technology centers to “join the call to action,” to decrease obesity among children. The first lady is recruiting these institutions to join the “Let’s Move! Museums and Gardens” project because of their power to “influence real and sustained behavior change” on the eating habits of kids. “With their impressive reach and great potential for impact, museums and gardens can launch community

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing today, Rep. Aaron Schock, R-Ill., grilled outgoing IRS commissioner Steven Miller about the IRS targeting a pro-life group in Iowa. "Their question, specifically asked from the IRS to the Coalition for Life of Iowa: ‘Please detail the content of the members of your organization’s prayers,’" Schock declared. “Would that be an inappropriate question to a 501 c3 applicant?” asked Schock. “The content of one’s prayers?” “It pains me to say I can’t speak to that one either,” Miller replied. After Schock pressed him further, Miller explained that although

WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans, not resting with the Internal Revenue Service scandal, are moving to broaden the matter to an array of tax malfeasances and “intimidation tactics” they hope will ensnare the White House. Republican charges range from the clearly questionable to the seemingly specious, and they grow by the day. On Friday, lawmakers sought to tie the I.R.S. matter to the implementation of President Obama’s health care law, which will rely heavily on the agency. Whether they succeed holds significant ramifications for Mr. Obama,

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it wants as many as 20 percent of its workers to "telework," use an "alternative work schedule," or do both, in order to "reduce green house gas emissions," decrease "employee stress," and give these government workers more time for "planning and preparing healthy meals." So says one of the HHS "performance measures" detailed in an appendix to the department´s latest strategic plan. HHS´s performance measure "4.D.05" says: "Increase the percent employees on telework or on Alternative Work Schedule." Telework means working from home via phone and computer.

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.
