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.
