'Morning Joe' for Pat


Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory joined the crew of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" for a few minutes this morning to talk about federal stimulus money and McCrory's flight yesterday with the "Miracle on the Hudson" crew from US Airways.

McCrory, the Republican nominee for governor last year, said the stimulus money was sold as building the nation's infrastructure but only a fraction of it has been used that way.

"Roosevelt built dams. Eisenhower built highways," McCrory said during his 7:30 a.m. appearance. "We're filling potholes."

The US Airways crew that safely landed their crippled aircraft in the Hudson River in January reunited for the same New York to Charlotte flight Thursday and McCrory was among the passengers.

Neo, really? Defending Mark Foley and attacking some director is your "tat?"

Well played.

As for Polanski, I'm kind of 'old school.' The only 13 year old that should be forced to have sex against her will is our Lord and Savior's mum, the Virgin Mary. Because that's just wholesome when you base a religion on statutory rape.

Oh giggles.... I really don't think you want to play tit-for-tat on Republican v Democrat scandals do you? May I remind you of Kennedy, Dodd, Franks, Rangel, Pelosi, Feinstein, Conyers, Kilpatrick, Jefferson, et al?

btw - if Foley's inappropriate e-mails with young adults all over the age of 18 of which there was absolutely no "action" is what you got..

How do you feel about all the liberal support for Roman Polanski?

Re: 'Morning Blow' to Joe's Mistress' head (Pat McCrory sez hey)

"Guy that killed a staffer" ? Jesus you're nuts.

Right cmitchz. Joe Scarborough resigned from Congress because 26 year old staffers always die of "heart attacks" in his office with 7 and a half inch gashes on the back of their head.

What's nuts is if Joe had a D by his name you'd know what I was talking about and be organizing "remember Lori Klausutis!" rallies outside the Morning Joe studios, but big bad Joe has an R by his name so he's on the TeeVee now, just like Newt, Ollie and all your other family value heroes.

Mark Foley was never in your party, right? Yup. I'm the crazy one.

I think Mayor Pat talking to a guy that killed a staffer he was sleeping with and Pat Buchanan only helps Charlotte, and I don't get all the rebuke from real citizens mad he went on the equivalent of Al Jazerra for Wall Street?

I mean duh?

This has to be good for Charlotte! And that Pat guy.
