MSNBC's Scarborough, Brzezinski feud January 19, 2008—MSNBC anchor and garage band guitarist Joe Scarborough is scheduled to participate Sunday in a “jam session” at Chuck Norris’s Texas ranch with presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Huckabee, who plays bass, is a frequent guest on Scarborough’s "Morning Joe" program. Camera-shy co-anchor Mika Brzezinski, known as a hard-nosed, objective journalist who maintains she owes none of her success to her father, former national security advisor for the Carter Administation Zbigniew Brzezinski, is said to be furious, believing Scarborough’s dalliance with Huckabee presents a conflict of interest that threatens the integrity of the show. “Our show has no integrity,” Scarborough is quoted as saying. “We replaced Don Imus, for crying out loud. I got a call after Don got s---canned and just started winging it, and that’s the way it’s been ever since. What’s the big deal? Besides, I’m a Republican, have been for years, was a Republican congressman. What exactly is it that Mika expects from me? Governor Huckabee and I have been friends for a long time. He invited me, I accepted, and I'm going. If Mika had any integrity, she would have changed her last name years ago.” (Posted 7:32 a.m. EST) (Updated 10:59 a.m. EST) |
