Joe Scarborough has apologized for comparing Fred Thompson’s wife to a stripper and implying that was a trophy. Sort of. Offensive stuff.

From Palmetto Scoop:

In what has to be one of the WORST apologizes of all time, MSNBC Joe Scarborough ATTEMPTED to make amens - through a series of condescending laughs and ridicule by his co-hosts - on Friday’s Morning Joe for his comment suggesting soon-to-be-presidential candidate Fred Thompson’s wife “works the poll.” After nearly five painful minutes downplaying the comment as little more than a harmless exercise segue, Scarborough finally muttered a not-so-heartfelt “I apologize” to the Thompsons.

They have vid, with “popup” editorial snark; well done.

It was not an apology; rather, it was a finger thrust in the air at “a few bloggers” who raised a stink. Thompson supporters all, he surmised.

Joe Scarborough has been spending a bit too much time with Olbermann. Perhaps he wants a spot on Monday Night Football. Scarborough is defiant, foolish, and a vacuous implement of the lefties. It’s really too bad about that Class of ‘94. So much promise.
