Instapundit pointed me to the Palmetto Scoop which is discussing a comment Joe Scarborough made about Fred Thompson's wife.

This comment caught my eye:

Where is the conservative outrage? Where is it? Where is Mitt Romney condemning Joe Scarborough? Where is Rudy Giuliani condemning Joe Scarborough? Where is John McCain condemning Joe Scarborough? Where is Hugh Hewitt condemning Joe Scarborough? And what of Craig Crawford diminishing the reputation of Congressional Quarterly with on air fantasties and perversions about Republican candidates’ wives?

I think the problem is that a tree fell in the forest and it didn't really make a sound. Seriously--who watches Joe Scarborough? I understand he's on MSNBC and he's a conservative, a recipe for chirping crickets as your audience.

So what did he say that is creating such a furor?

JOE SCARBOROUGH, host, "Morning Joe": Have you seen, um, have you seen Fred Thompson's wife?

CRAIG CRAWFORD, Congressional Quarterly: Oh, yeah!

SCARBOROUGH: You think she works the pole?

CRAWFORD: That's what Hollywood careers will do for you, I guess.

SCARBOROUGH: [Laughs] What do you mean?

CRAWFORD: You get wives like that.

SCARBOROUGH: I mean, look at that guy. God bless him, I love his voice, but I mean, you know, he ain't Robert Redford in 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.'

Frankly, I'm not at all certain what Scarborough is saying here. It sure sounds like he's wondering whether she's a stripper, which in an incredibly stupid thing to wonder. At very least, he owes Mrs. Thompson an apology. Fred should get one too.

I think Joe is spending to much time with misogynist Keith Olbermann.
