An Aug. 19 NewsBusters post by Tim Graham goes on a fit of Heathering against Joe Scarborough for being, in the words of a GQ profile of him, “the conservative liberals suddenly think is swell.” Graham snarked:
GQ isn’t really paying attention if they think Scarborough is a calm voice of civility when earlier this week, he denounced Newt Gingrich for hours as a “political pyromaniac” over the Ground Zero mosque fight. He was coming unglued. He sounded like he was hitting the boss, Steve Capus, on speed-dial during the commercial breaks: “How’d you like that! Another breakthrough in civility!”
A puff piece in GQ is only the latest piece of evidence that Joe Scarborough is seeking to please the liberal media elite.
Graham — speaking as a member of the conservative media elite — has thus decreed that any real conservative can’t possibly be liked by liberals.
