Joe Scarborough and the way back machine

October 24, 2008 4:18 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

On MSNBC this morning, the host, putting the current economic woes in perspective, claimed "unemployment was higher throughout most of Clinton's administration." 

Most? As Chris Edelson at The Seminal notes, if by "most" Scarborough meant unemployment was higher during 19 of the 97 months Clinton was in office, than yeah, that would be accurate.

      Scarborough teams up with Buchanan and uses the 3 hour a day, five days a week program to shill for republicans and push their talking points.

      I honestly think he gets email from the rnc to tell him what points to push that morning and to demagog about in his ongoing rants about the evils of Obama.

       Scarborough seems to be applying for a job at Fox News.
