Joe Scarborough used to be an up-and-coming Conservative congressman, the darling of the Right, their Great White Hope for the future. I watch his show a great deal, and find myself agreeing very much with his views. He is a still a conservative, and I am still a liberal, but I don't reject conservative views outright and I don't reflexively defend all liberal positions (except against Tom, because its so much fun).

But Scarborough has been making a lot of sense lately (I watch his show a lot). Is he veering to the Left, am I veering to the Right, or has what is now considered the Center drifted off toward out and out loonybin fundowacko fascism?

By the way, what's the story with that dizzy blonde that co-hosts the show with him? I think Joe is showing great restraint by not slapping her around a bit.
