Guess "Morning Joe" is off my list

I used to watch Morning Joe from time to time but I think I'll quit.

Apparently Joe Scarborough abruptly and strangely resigned from Congressional office six months after his re-election, in June of 2001. He had divorced his wife of thirteen years only a short time before. (after running as a "family values" conservative) On July 20, 2001, a couple who made an appointment to meet with him about a green card came into his office at 8 am and discovered the body of one of his interns, Lori Klausutis. There was no apparent cause of death, and the autopsy ruled she had hit her head on the desk and died after passing out due to a heart condition. This finding was quite controversial for many reasons.

A few months later, he married another former staffer, in October of 2001.

Today I read that the doctor who gave that controversial finding has been arrested for storing (selling?) body parts in a rental unit. He had lost his license twice before, once related to falsifying an autopsy. Does this mean Joe Scarborough had her killed? No. But it definitely is a news story worth reporting on.

At the very least people should seriously think twice about giving this guy the time of day.
