Senator Morning Joe
Is MSNBC a gene pool for potential future leaders of the Congress? Just a few months back there were reports off the cuff that Chris Matthews of Hardball was going to take a run for office and now we have reports coming in that Joe Scarborough of Morning Joe is going to run for the Senate. I found this little nugget of information over at Memeorandum and I do thank them for the tip!

Television host Joe Scarborough has a new radio show and is feeling good about the influence he's having on politics.
But the former congressman from Pensacola said he may run for office again, maybe even the U.S. Senate in 2010.
"I haven't closed it off," said Scarborough, a Republican who is scheduled to address the Manatee County Republican Party at its annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Feb. 20. "I've been getting some calls from some fundraisers in Florida."
Scarborough said he is also hearing from other U.S. senators who want him to run for the seat that Sen. Mel Martinez announced he is leaving next year.
He just needs to decide whether he could have as much influence on public policy as one of 100 senators as he does now on his MSNBC program "Morning Joe," he said. - Herald Tribune
Don’t get me wrong, in their own television news magazines both of these gentleman ask or state some provocative opinions that I sometimes agree with and other times throw a shoe at the television. Chris and Joe are both pretty head strong individuals and sometimes when people don’t agree with them they throw little tantrums right on the air. Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann are a good example during the Democrat Convention with Chris pretty much having a hissy fit on Keith over reporting emotions rather than facts. Joe Scarborough and former Secretary of State Zbigniew Brzezinski where the Z’ster had to tell Joe he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about concerning world diplomacy.
In the end, these two are a bunch of hot heads and that may sell on viewers but it will not sell in the halls of Congress.

AMEN AND AMEN!
Don’t get me started on Matthews!
I loved the Z-ster moment on “Morning Joke” when he took Joe to task for his blantant ignorance! LMAO!
No question that a three-hour morning news show holds more sway than a Republican vote in the Senate.
Personally, I would like to see the pouty-faced Scarborough and the pouty-faced Sean Hannity square off and try to out-whine each other. Now, that would be a show!
Scarborough is just enjoying his newfound favor among conservatives for ranting about Obama. Not too long ago, he was out of favor with the same folks for his verbal attacks on Republican spending.
I wouldn’t vote for the guy for the dog catcher’s assistant.
