Man did Joe Scarborough drink himself a heavy dose of Cheney
Kool-Aid before this Monday's show. After hearing Liz toss
out the idea of her daddy running in 2012 on Fox News Sunday
the day before, Scarborough argues that Cheney running would
be a wonderful idea and that no one could take him on in a
debate.

Jonathan Alter points out that the Bush administration was
not exactly popular with the American public but that
doesn't seem to phase Scarborough one bit. He wants Cheney
out there fear mongering for the GOP and says at much at the
end of the clip.
Rough transcript:
Scarborough: By the way I'm glad she did that because I
have been pressing, by the way the buttons for like a couple
of months-Cheney 2012.
Brzezinski: (laughter)
Scarborough: What's so funny?
Brzezinski: Ah...just the thought...makes me a little
tired. That's all I'm going to say.
Scarborough: Tired in a way like you're going to be so
excited and you can almost sense the confetti falling in
your hair? I know you're excited about it too.
Meacham: But you know what? Dick Cheney running for
President would be a principled experienced way of having
the debates that we're having in sort of a fake way I think
with Palin. He has a strong point of view.
Scarborough: You know Dick Cheney also; Dick Cheney has
from time to time been turned into a cartoon character over
the last decade... And remember he was turned into a cartoon
character back in 2000, and everybody thought Joe Lieberman
was going to mop him up in the 2000 debate. Didn't
happen...Dick Cheney...all I'm going to say is. And I will
guarantee you--I would make this guarantee--it would never
happen, but if you had Dick Cheney sitting here and Barack
Obama sitting here debating foreign policy, debating Gitmo,
debating bringing terrorists into New York City, politically
that would not end well, Jonathan Alter for Barack Obama.
Alter: Oh I think he'd hold his own okay. That Dick
Cheney's the most deceptively ambitious guy we've seen.
Remember when he was running Bush's search in 2000? "Oh I'm
not interested in being Vice President", but he ends up Vice
President. Then he has this whole independent operation,
basically his own White House as Vice President, all the
time saying "I'm the first Vice President in history who
hasn't wanted to be President" so...
Brzezinski: Yeah.
Alter: ...I'm above politics, you know, you can't go
after me because I don't have any ambitions.
Scarborough: Yeah exactly. (crosstalk)
Halperin: There's an emerging profile of the kind of
Republican who I think, whom Barack Obama might be
vulnerable in reelection. Cheney has a lot of his elements.
First and foremost experience making the argument we let
this guy in and he wasn't up to the job, this is an adult
who's ready to come back in. Dick Cheney's not the right
person though to be that... (crosstalk)
Scarborough: Hold on for a second though. I know that
there was a problem, you're right. There is a problem with
over the past ten years a lot of people have problems with
Dick Cheney, but you look at him. He's always been fiscally
conservative. I'm talking about let's get the Darth Vader
mask over for a second. Here's a guy, he's got the
Republican strengths on, on foreign policy issues he drives
progressives crazy, but remember when he went out talking
about Gitmo and some of these other issues he was sitting at
19% because he'd stayed quiet, let the press define him. Now
his approval rating is above, it's in the 30's.
Halperin: And he could get Rachel Maddow's endorsement
because he's pro-gay marriage.
Scarborough: And he's pro-gay marriage.
Brzezinski: There you go.
Scarborough: Exactly.
Meacham: But let's be clear. He designed, forged and put
on the Darth Vader mask. I mean this is an image to some
extent that he has cultivated particularly since the
inauguration and my point is let's, if he wants to continue
to weigh in on these questions, let's get him in the arena
and adjudicate this in the public debate.
Scarborough: I would have loved to see any
administration official, and any administration official sit
down for 90 minutes no commercials across the table with
Dick Cheney where they don't have certain people in the
press putting the Darth Vader mask on him and I would like
to see how any one of them would hold up. I would guess if
you took a flash poll afterwards it would not be good for
the Democratic official taking him on.
Halperin: And Biden would whoop his butt.
Scarborough: Yeah. (crosstalk)
Alter: Look the idea of his being a fiscal conservative
after that administration... (crosstalk).
Scarborough: I was talking about when he was in was,
when he was in the House.
Alter: Yeah, when he's associated with that
administration and it was not exactly one of the more
popular administrations...
Scarborough: No... well listen. I understand--I'm just
saying, I'm trying to give the other side, because again
these are the type of guys that sneak up on people in
Washington...
Brezezinski: That's true.
Scarborough: ...and everybody again turns him into a
cartoon character, but when he gets out and gets his say
there are more than a few independents out there that go
"Okay you know what, that guy makes a lot more sense than
the guy saying let's bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to New
York City.
Brezezinski: Then you look at the polls of the country
because incumbents right now are facing a very tough line...
Scarborough: I'm just saying I'm afraid of Khalid Sheikh
Mohammed so work your fear magic on me Dick Cheney.
