MSNBC hosts mock pregnant transgender man Thomas Beatie

Joe Scarborough and company, on MSNBC's Morning Joe, are simultaneously shocked and amused by the story of pregnant transman Thomas Beatie.

Originally thinking the story was a hoax, they decided to report on it since Oprah "legitimized" it on Thursday, as co-host Willie Geist puts it. A clip explaining the artificial insemination process, involving a syringe obtained from a veterinarian, particularly disturbs Scarborough.

That particular moron has real moron credentials, he was in Congress. 

Scarborough was regarded as a reliable conservative, receiving a 95 percent lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union.[5]. He signed the Contract with America, and was part of the 1994 Republican takeover of the House, led by Newt Gingrich.

Oh yeah, that's a source.


Scarborough sponsored a bill to force the U.S. to withdraw from the United Nations after a four year transition[6] and voted to make the Corporation for Public Broadcasting "self-sufficient"[7] by eliminating federal funding. He also voted for the "Medicare Preservation act of 1995",[8] which cut the projected growth Medicare by $270 billion over ten years, and against the "Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996"[9] which raised the minimum wage to $5.

Scarborough is a weird man.

I wish he'd get pregnant.  The old fashioned way.

Great, so my tax dollars were paying his salary to say this drivel!  >:(
