Joe Scarborough: Jon Stewart and The Daily Show are "Hacks for the Democratic Party"

Here's Joe Scarborough from earlier this morning on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" talking to Mika Brzezinski and CNBC's John Harwood about the New York Times article on Jon Stewart and other comedians' supposed difficulty making fun of Barack Obama…

Joe Scarborough: I don't want to hear anybody from The Daily Show or any of these other shows ever saying again, "We speak truth to power." Because you know what they do? They speak truth to Republicans. Republicans are funny. they've been idiots and jackasses over the past seven years. But, please, don't be subversive, because you're not. Because you're a hack. A hack for the Democratic Party, and you only tell jokes about one side.

Mika Brzezinski: No, this is not about being in the tank.

John Harwood: I don't think they're hacks for the Democratic Party.

Joe Scarborough: They're hacks.

Mika Brzezinski: You are unbelievable.

I know I should make a joke in here somewhere, but I just can't find anything funny to say about Joe Scarborough. He's not buffoonish in any way.
