Joe Scarborough to Chris Matthews: You Sure Didn't Seem To Think These Issues Were "So Complicated" When Bush Was President

Eh, a lot of blather but it is nice to hear Mika and Chris Matthews called out. They're now saying that all these questions about war and security and surveillance and the Constitution are oh-so-complicated; Scarborough wants to know where the complications were during the Bush presidency, when the world was a much, much more black and white sort of place.

I like when he warns them to be careful what they say because he has tape of their previous statements from 2005-2008.

If you want to watch it, you can pick it up from about 4:00 to hear Mika and Matthews get slapped.

Before that, Chris Matthews introduces what sounds to me like a New Racial Slur -- "government." He's got this new jazz that even saying the word "government" is some kind of code-word that Respectable People do not say. At the current moment his theory behind the alleged "government" slur seems half-baked, but I imagine after a few rounds of Inspiration he'll have a whole theory as to how saying the word "government" is an "ethnic attack."
