Joe Scarborough said “fuck you” on tv this morning, which is funny and everything, but he’s also a giant hypocrite. The point he was making was that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s pick for White House Chief of Staff, has a habit of using the word “fuck,” which makes it even funnier.

Indeed, Scarborough even expressed outrage over the fact that the Government would even consider refraining from imposing substantial fines on ABC when Bono, on a live awards show, used the “F word.”

John Cole nails it:

It points out how twisted the inside the beltway priorities still are - these knuckleheads are talking off camera, all aghast that Emanuel has told people to fuck off, and think this is somehow a great sin. It is truly bizarre for a number of reasons, especially for folks who worship “average” and “ordinary” Americans. Average and ordinary Americans use profane language. Go to a sporting event. Watch a movie not made by Disney. Go to the mall. Spend thirty seconds within a hundred yards of any military unit anywhere (I remember some cadences we sang during PT that would make Andrew Dice Clay blush). Or a police department. Or a fire department. People swear. You may not like it, but it is what it is.

So fuck you.
