Scarborough to Coleman: "It's Over, Norm. It's Over."

[moneshaduh]

you will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins

[Atombombmother]

Republicans are ridiculous. I guess being litigous is ok if you are trying to hold up a Senate seat.

[strateshootah]

REPUBLICANS: Ya lost!!....Get Over It!!!!

[pacmantab]

Oh....you mean like when your lost in 2000? Where was your "get over it" mentality then??!

It's not over till its over...sorry.....

[ageofconsent1]

first he was a shitty comedian, now hes going to be a shitty senator

[rebjiii]

dollar to donuts...gov tim pawlenty would have already certified the senate election, if it were N. coleman ahead by 312 votes....Pawlenty is another GOP hypocrite.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

Coleman needs to do a "Daily Affirmation" and admit: he's not good enough, he's not smart enough, and dog-gone-it, people don't like him.

[cberquist]

You know it has gone on far too long when Joe Scarborough is the voice of reason.

[KingDrudge]

See, some Repubs do have common sense(sometimes).

[irishamrep]

this filthy four eyed freak will fit in with the other degenerate libs in washington! THEIVES first the chimp and now the FREAK!

[SapientiaEtFortuna]

The jewish guy won.

Suprised?

[kagetoh]

And the other Jewish guy lost. Oops, you're retarded.

[willybee103]

Hey retard. They are both jews. So yeah, a jew will definately win.

[uniquemetal]

Its over, roll over Coleman LOL, hey the Republican far right monkeys are just having another bad bad day.........

you see, the flying monkey right wings of the republican who follow Rush Hannity Levin, Beck, Coulter are just a small minority now..........drinking tea, dirinking tea and chewing tobacco out of their right cheek...........

Welcome to the real world, without Sarah Palin's ( you betcha ! and lipstick ) LOL LOL

[AngryUSCitizen1]

love it lmfaooo

[DillonX]

Coleman: The fat lady has sung!

[duhCider]

Norm ........isn't.

[steyzon80]

Fuck you Joe Scarborough! You're a sell out! NBC took you to a Liberal/ Progessive REEDUCATION CAMP and brain washed you and Pat Buchanan. You used to get it. Now you're just another mouth piece for the Liberals.

TRAITOR!!! You're not Conservative any more.

[concordat]

So let me get this straight...

Seeing the writing on the wall = Traitor.

[jtrevor99]

Looks like it's time for me to move out of Minnesota.

[hobnailrose]

here's your hat, there's the door. you know what to do.

[milkgodnl]

When Scarborough sez its over Norm .. it is definitely over ..

[trushinogul]

Actually, by the first tally he won, so its perfectly fair for him to resist the ruling.

[concordat]

No its not, the first tally was within the margin of error, which by law required a recount.

[Alexscottmurad]

What??? are you confusing the actual election with a private poll???? didn't know there was a margin of error on actually counted ballots (if there is we have a serious problem). But it's fair to say that both these guys obstructed the seating of a senator and used cheap ways to do it. Both are to blame for the conflict.

[GradStud28]

Actually, it is required by Minnesota state law that when an election is within a certain very low percentage (as it was in this case) a recount be performed. This means that neither candidate could have declined a recount after the November election (unless they simply wanted to bow out of the race). Unfortunately, when you're talking about 3 million or so votes, yes there are errors that occur, and questions of procedure also come into play. But these have been handled professionally in MN.

[concordat]

Maybe not a "margin of error," but the recount starts as dictated by law when the results are within a certain percentage.

If you think Franken is equally to blame, then... well you haven't been following this story for months like I have.

[RonFella]

MSNBC = Pravda

[SATANSbankers]

Republicans are a Joke, and Democrats aren't much better. Time for a Revolution.

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Yeah man, let's burn everything down AWESOME!

[patrioticheart]

Who should we hope in the VERY end comes away with this one... maybe let's look at who's more educated..

Or should we look at who has more experience writing porn?

Or who has more experience in political office?

Or should we look at who said "I'm interested in politics for all the wrong reasons -- I'm interested in the sport, the entertainment value of it."

Hmmmm..

[Donyvi]

It's also not fair to make a hasty decision when it's this close

[concordat]

Hasty decision? You are aware this has been on ongoing process for almost six months now, right?

[Donyvi]

Yes, hasty, if they stop in the middle of the process of ascertaining who won the election, it would be hasty. Don't get me wrong, I want Franken to come out on top, but I don't want the decision to be made on a whim, like "meh, screw this, lets just say Franken won."

[concordat]

The court case is over though. The only thing left to do is wait ten days till Coleman files his appeal, which will probably be rejected in a few hours since they already let him exhaust every argument he had in the previous case.

[Donyvi]

Ah, ok, thanks.

[icancount2one]

Funny how the roles reverse depending which party won. Too bad for the Repukes there was no court intervention to stop the recount.

[GradStud28]

The recount was required by Minnesota state law. No court is going to intervene to see that the law is not carried out. (When the Supreme Court did this in 2000, recognizing how bad their ruling was, they said that their decision should not set precedent.) We can only speculate what would have happened here in Minn. if the tables were turned. I doubt it would have come this far. Sen. Franken grew up here in Minn. and we just don't behave this way. Apparently crooked New York attorneys do.

[mhasy1965]

Socialism doesn't work teenyboppers and twentysomethings! But you wouldn't know that being zombies of this countries public school monopoly that has brainwashed you! And you think you're rebels! Poor dependent little welfare staters who think they care more then everybody else!

[3richardwilliams]

@sberg81 - you're wrong.

[sberg81]

No Joe, you're over. I'm sick and tired of you masquerading as a conservative. GET LOST! Coleman won with over 700 votes, then mysteriously loses by a couple hundred? He has every right to appeal. Something stinks here besides your ratings.

[laleeloolelo]

You said: "Coleman won with over 700 votes, then mysteriously loses by a couple hundred?"

Uh Berg, you do know that was the UNOFFICIAL RESULT don't you?

Hence why there was recount because the margin is so small.

[Irishlager5]

Did they count those votes they found in the back of that car or the county where they had more votes than registered voter or the county where votes got counted twice??? Sorry for that I almost went back to my old self. I dont believe in left/right anymore besides local and thats debatable. I just hate Franken. What a useless fuck he is.

[xtrontruth]

Seat Senator Franken.

[DillonX]

Mr. Coleman: What part of "It's over!" don't you understand?

[k166a]

Scarborough's an idiot.

At least he got this one right.

[Greg78X]

Grats ACORN

[concordat]

ffffffcking acorn registering them poors and coloreds to vote!!! i can't believe it!

[wyzguy333]

Joe......you're funny.......Don't you know it's not over until Glenn Beck and Ted Nugent count every single vote themselves........Joe Joe Joe.

[hassleoffa]

Nugent would shoot the ballots

[jqjacobs]

What he said!

[ananiasacts]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[WKaliberr]

Go Go Franken!!

[lrn2wlk4life]

scripted snarky at its best. that is why they call MSNBC "more snotty nonsense by chicks"

[adseipsum]

FILIBUSTER PROOF BITCHES

[wntoply6]

i find coleman absolutely hilarious. this idiot talks about democratic spending, yet i wonder, for his own particular ego how much in taxes he is costing both his state and the country in legal costs.

i'll bet this "christian"republican lying hypocrite doesn't give one fucking shit about the money he is costing his state.

his ego is much more important than helping the poor or sick.

typical of hypocritical "christian"republican bastard liars!

[rickamabob13]

Three words for you Norm Coleman:

SENATOR AL FRANKEN!!!!

[burntonion05]

Repubs = sour grapes

Get ova it fools. The whole world is laughing at you fools. Why can't you Repubs just pull yourselves up by your bootstraps? lolololololol

[Landstander1]

It's been obvious Franken won since the recount. Despite that, Coleman had every legal right to contest that, and the court listened every step (and it was a fair, transparent process that could be viewed online for the most part).

But Joe Scarborough is right, for once; this court ruling is pretty much the final straw. Coleman is going to keep obstructing for the sake of keeping Franken out of the Senate as long as possible. If Pawlenty doesn't sign the certificate, he's officially a tool.

[slimydick23]

That's what we're taught about democracy... EVERY VOTE COUNTS... but when it's close and a republican doesn't win, then it's automatically flawed? The fact is, winning by one vote is the same as winning by one million.

Norm Coleman quit disrespecting the people of Minnesota and CONCEDE.

[Taino187]

But if they could "just keep digging" around mayyyyyyyybe just maybe some more votes could pop-up from somewhere, under a matteress, in some storage locker, in some time capsule, in Al Capones vault, just somewhere!

ha ha ha!

Its sad this is still on going, i thought this BS had been settled already.

[smathis98]

As we say in Maine, O-V-A-H Over! Go away!

[pacmantab]

God, he's worse than Franken!

Well, if Suart Smalley is indeed seated, then Minnesota will have one dubious distinction: Having the two ugliest Senators in the country...LOL

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Norm Coleman is way uglier

[DillonX]

It's like a love relationship sometimes.

You want to hit someone over the head -- IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER!

[achampag]

omg are we still on this?

[ver506]

Every so often, Scarborough redeems himself....

[Product1999]

Scarborough never redeems himself.....its just this story is stale now and he can't spin it...so he goes with the truth.

[Steadno]

swej

[valgehiir]

she is on some good downers. Xanax would be my guess..

[nordrassil1]

LOL she is so amazing.

[volumedealer1]

What the fuck is Joe talking about?

Coleman is a scumbag.

[azas1949]

What is Mika's purpose on this program?

[valgehiir]

to sit. sometimes try to say something .. but mostly to sit

[dogstar7]

Ah, male bonding in the morning...sigh.

Too bad that bitch keeps interrupting with the news, eh Joe? Who's momma's alpha dog? Yes you are!

As for Franken/Coleman; was there REALLY any doubt among reasoning adults?

I for one am getting tired of being patient with children. As a People, we don't have time for this partisan nonsense anymore. Indulging GOP petulance is a drag on our National Recovery: It's hitting us in the wallet!

[MishaBKLYN]

Mika to Joe: "Does Lady Mika hav-ta smack a hoe?!!"

[Kni7es]

One of these days Mika is going to turn around and smack him for interrupting her. I think that's the only reason some of us watch Morning Joe. Kinda like how some NASCAR fans just watch hoping to see a crash, Morning Joe viewers tune in so that they can be there the day that Mika gets fed up and smacks Joe Scarborough's bitch-ass down.

Anyone else with me on this?

[taoofmichael]

Totally. Mika, with the way she caters to Scarborough, always looks like a dumb blond, ala Victoria Jackson. BTW, have you seen HER lately, she has lost her mind completely.

But yes, the smack is long overdue.

[Kni7es]

I think she only comes off as a dumb blond because she puts up with Joe's stupid shit and thus looks like she's condoning it.

And I haven't gotten a chance recently to watch myself, so you'll have to tell me exactly how she is losing her mind.

[taoofmichael]

Check out The Young Turks thing on Victoria Jackson. You have to see it yourself to believe it.

[pokemanz]

That shit is annoying. Like some broken housewife. Shut that guy up sometimes, Mika.

[digamejh]

Don't bother, Kni7es.

You know if it ever happens, it'll be on TPMTV!

[oldtownkid]

Coleman is gonna drag this thing for a few more months, for as long as possible. That guy is so selfish it's unbelieaveble. He knows he lost but he wants to sabotage the winning party. That's what's all about, and he doesn't care if he hurts MN while at it.

[Z200a]

you're right. And did you hear that Sen. John Cornyn (R-Wingnuttia) recently said they would filibuster ANY attempt to seat Franken, even if Coleman exhausts all of his legal options?

[SimonPeter168]

scarborogh goin pretty casual today

no suits on mornin joe!

[Aspartame69]

Yep even the conservative propagansists are feeling the cold wind of change. Its good to see their reptilian brains working overtime to survive :)

[taoofmichael]

Oh yeah!! Joe is watching the ratings!! The American people are over watching mindless conservative spin. They are turning the channel. Joe is watching out for his own ass -- now he's the big "truth teller." We'll see how long this lasts.

[RZetlin]

Must be wacky world today.

Joe is providing the voice of reason.

[RepresentativeEAB]

My goodness, Joe suprised me with that.

[Richardgwm]

Coleman doesn't care about the people of Minnesota.

[TedinLasVegas]

Wow. Minnesota elected a hateful, wannabe comedian to the US Senate.

How embarrassing for them. I think if I were from Minnesota, I'd claim to be from Wisconsin. What a bunch of losers.

[HabitualNightOwl]

Minnesota should be embarrassed to have Michelle Bachmann as a representative.

[micahgee]

she sucks!!!

[pacmantab]

You wish! LOL

[DoctorMeh]

Well, when the other choice is a bag of hammers..

[wntoply6]

well just how hateful is a man who believes in equal rights ted? just how hateful is a man who believes in helping the poor? just how hateful is a man who believes in making medical coverage available for everyone? tell me ted, how hateful is a man like that compared to a man who wants to limit equal rights to only those who believe as he does, who doesn't give a shit about the poor, who only worries about tax relief for the rich & who is only worried about his own medical coverage? FUCK YOU!

[TedinLasVegas]

And why do you think that people like Norm Coleman and I "hate" equal rights, the poor, etc.?

Because you are an uneducated fool and a tool of the left.

To question a man's heart like that is to show your own weakness and foolishness.

[laleeloolelo]

You said: "To question a man's heart like that is to show your own weakness and foolishness."

Uh Ted, who questioned Coleman's "heart"?

We just think this situation is ironic considering the 2000 Florida bruhaha.

[TedinLasVegas]

I was responding to an entry that said that Coleman "hates equality", "the poor", etc.

Interesting comment, 2000 Florida bruhaha. You, of course, are referring to Gore's illegal attempt at stealing the election. FL law required the recount to occur in ALL 57 counties of the state, not just 3 and parts of another. FL also required that a recount be complete by 11/20 and Gore tried to go past that point.

Gore broke the law on two counts, it was an illegal recount.

[laleeloolelo]

Well Ted, the difference between Gore and Coleman as of this moment at least is that at least Gore (eventually) conceded.

[TedinLasVegas]

Well, there is THAT.

I'd still be embarrased if I were from Minnesota, a half-wit comedian for a Senator?

Well, then again; the head moron in the Senate - Harry Reid - is my Senator and I'm embarrassed about that.

[patrioticheart]

A lot of us ARE embarrassed! Stewart Smalley is a joke... and a unfunny one at that.

Well, it looks like Franken will walk away with this thing but let's not all forget that Coleman won originally... who knows what the REAL outcome should have been..

[concordat]

So you're saying counting all the votes is cheating. Nice to know where you stand.

[patrioticheart]

Nope. I'm saying the vote count has gone back a forth multiple times.. with questions of officials hiding ballots and miscounts. No one will ever no what the real count is.

Don't put word in my mouth and don't think so simply - it makes you look stupid.

[concordat]

You said "Coleman won originally," referring to his vote count before all the votes were counted. You seemed to place weight on this meaningless fact

[patrioticheart]

Fine, replace "Coleman won originally" to "the vote count was in Coleman's favor originally."

That doesn't change anything.

[GradStud28]

That's not true. Only after the recount did the results move from Coleman's favor to Franken's. Since then Franken has remained in the lead.

There have been no officials hiding ballots; I don't know where you heard this, it's a lie. And after canvassing and thorough investigation of difficult-to-count ballots there are no "miscounts". How do you do not trust the judgement of honest, non-partisan polling staff at the local level, and honest, bi-partisan public officials at the state level?

[SkidMarkNews]

Well what more could you expect from a state that put a wrestler in for their governor? They like to elect entertainers, not real people. At least SNL won't have to hire anyone to parody this guy. What a joke democrats are turning into - literally.

[TedinLasVegas]

Good point.

[patrioticheart]

I am from MN and I agree. It is ridiculous.

[djdeath12]

democrats a joke fuck me the hole american, no wait skip that, the hole politics games is turning into a joke

[illyrian4life]

it has been a joke for a long time

[concordat]

And yet Republicans hold up Ronald Reagan as their messiah.

[SkidMarkNews]

You mean that President that ended the cold war? The one that brought down the Berlin wall? The one that got our Iran hostages back in his first week in office? You mean that guy? Or are you talking about the one that actually cut Taxes during a recession to bring us out of it?  Oh wait same guy... Yep we like that guy!

[concordat]

Ronald Reagan was an evil shithead who thought trees caused pollution and supported apartheid. And he RESTARTED the Cold War, Perestroika was already in process and tensioned had cooled considerably before he started antagonizing the Soviet Union for no goddamned reason.

He also legitimized the neo-conservative movement, and as a result his influence led to George W. Bush's disastrous presidency.

[TedinLasVegas]

"Restarted the Cold War"?????

Only an idiot would think that it ended prior to 1989. The soviets never abided by the agreements they made with us; what makes you think it ended BEFORE 1989?

Tensions cooled only because we had morons in charge in the 70s who weren't paying attention; kinda like now!

I wish Bush had been a conservative, then we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

[concordat]

Ahahahaha

"I wish Bush had been a conservative"

oh my god are you serious? ahaha

[TedinLasVegas]

Well, conservatives stand for the proposition that smaller, less-intrusive government is better.

Did Bush ever, actually, try to shrink the power and cost of government?

NO, he was a "compassionate" conservative - a Liberal.

And, as always, liberalism leads to catastrophe.

[concordat]

Yeah man, keep on projecting conservative failures on the left. It'll never stop being hilariously pathetic.

[sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

Timewarp.

[concordat]

Let's see what else did he do...

He tripled the national debt, crushed worker's rights, made massive tax cuts to the rich, killed the attempts to shift the US over to the metric system, supported death squads throughout Central America, and he supported Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war.

He was also a horrible actor, whereas Franken is a decent comedian and satirist.

[kenzaburo]

Obama did all that already?

[concordat]

Wow, I didn't know Obama was a time traveler!

[SpunkLance]

He's not working as a "tool"- many Minnesotans themselves (from any party) are feeling Norm is a bit of a sore loser.

Scarborough is probably just amplifying that feeling.

[wntoply6]

speak on tedinvegas. all you do is show your total stupidity.

why is it you're able to question franken's heart: "Wow. Minnesota elected a hateful, wannabe comedian to the US Senate" -tedinlasvegas, but i can't question coleman's.

to quote you directly: "To question a man's heart like that is to show your own weakness and foolishness"

look who's weak & foolish now you god damned "christian"repubican. try to remember what the hell you type before you criticize it youself stupid idiot!

[TedinLasVegas]

Well, the man did - many times - say hateful things about good people; I'd say that makes him a hateful man.

I've seen his "comedy" too; extremely hateful and not at all funny.

Please explain how a Christian can be damned by God. It is an oxymoronic statement.

[wntoply6]

please tell your bullshit to michelle backmann. the two of you idiots make a pair. ignorant, yet too stupid to realize it.

like i said, go tell other stupid idiots like you your bullshit. your logic is laughable and an insult to those who achieve an F grade in grade school.

you're typical of the intelligence of "christian"repubicans.

[wntoply6]

again you continue to amaze me with your stupidity. i have not said one word ted, NOT ONE WORD about christians.

what "good people" are you talking about? you mean "christians" who are intolerant, bigoted, ingnorant and hateful? those to me they are NOT good people, but maybe to you, they are. but then you an ignorant "christian"republican who's intelligence is just above that of a frog.

[concordat]

You're not going to change his mind by insulting him.

[wntoply6]

oh, no matter what i do or say i won't convince him.  i'm just having fun with him.

[BayAreaLen]

Go Franken! Stuart in the senate! :)

[pacmantab]

God help us all!

[OhioDemocrat]

Smartest thing Joe's said in years!

[tetropods]

FINALLY!!!

[XMADDMARSX]

its over 4 all republicans if they dont shape up!!!

[uncletomthall]

Good for Minnesota. Way to go, Al.

[TiTSxxMcGEE]

oh one more thing.....

god i hate u joe

[integral]

Gee, Joe plays the "voice of reason" role.

Out of character.

[MISSBEBEBLUE]

totally.

[safco82]

Norm you lost get over it

[FullOfFail]

Bout time!!!
