...goes potty mouth on air...
Why bring up his intern?
Well for one, I don't think very many people know...but besides that, everything is relative...
Why don't you go ahead and say that she died from accidentally hitting her head on a desk, more than likely after sufering from the effects of an undiagnosed heart condition.
Just so people would know.
blah, blah, blah....if people cared about detail 50% wouldn't still believe that Saddam had links to Al-Queda....
That says a lot about you.
...says a lot about you too...
Absolutely.
There was a great deal of ambiguity over whether Lori had suffered past medical problems. Scarborough's press secretary, Miguel Serrano, made mention of health problems in Lori's past, but could not be more specific. In response, Fort Walton Beach Police Chief Steve Hogue is quoted as saying "That's part of our investigation, checking into her medical history." Associate Medical Examiner Dr. Michael Berkland said "She had a past medical history that was significant, but it remains to be seen whether that played a role in her death". Soon after a member of the immediate family rejected out of hand that Lori had any significant medical problems. She was, in fact, quite an athlete, having recently run an 8K with a very respectable time and she belonged to the Northwest Florida Track Club.
The results of the mandated autopsy, however, were deemed "inconclusive" by Dr. Berkland, who ordered more specific toxicology tests. In 2003, Scarbourgh joked about the incident with Don Imus on Imus's radio program.
Klausutis-a marathon runner, 28 years old and happily married-had been in great shape. Her "complicated health" began only on the night that she died, and its "history" surfaced primarily because of Joe's misinformation.
The nebulous circumstances surrounding Klausutis's death were further compounded during her body's postmortem exam. Michael Berkland, the medical examiner assigned to perform the autopsy, quickly released a statement to the press indicating that there were no signs of trauma to the body or any indication of foul play. Later, however, he admitted the body had "a scratch and a bruise."
Berkland, it must be noted, has a less than professional record. He was fired from his position as medical examiner in Missouri for making false statements and eventually lost the right to practice medicine in that state (see sidebar). Still, Berkland concluded in the final autopsy report that Klausutis's heart had failed. Moreover, by failing to officially close the investigation, long after they had ceased to interview witnesses, the police prevented the public from learning any facts about Klausutis's death.
Only when the autopsy report was released (and that occurred only because the editor in chief of the Northwest Florida Daily News Ralph Routon's editorial demanded its issuance) did those willing to exercise their rights under Florida's Sunshine Law learn the extent of Lori's injuries.
The autopsy report revealed that Lori had suffered two skull fractures and an additional wound. A 71/4-inch crack all but spanned the top of her head, from right temple to left.
As a likely consequence of that blow, blood poured in from a steadily pumping heart to form a fist-sized hematoma at the left temple. There were separate 11/2-inch eggshell fractures, essentially pulverizing the bone, deep inside the skull behind the right ear. The back of her head was bashed, and her lungs were filled with bloody foam, suggesting that she took a relatively long time to die.
In the final autopsy report, Berkland wrote off all those devastating injuries to heart failure. According to Berkland, Klausutis had fainted from a weak heart and hit her head on the desk, an unlikely scenario considering the massive damage to the victim's skull.
Showing an incredible lack of professionalism, the local press swallowed this story whole, even the seeming contradiction about a failing heart having been capable of pumping more than a half cup of blood to form the hematoma. Medical science suggests that, if Klausutis's heart was so weak that it failed to pump enough blood to her brain to maintain consciousness, that same heart would not pump enough blood to form the hematoma.
With Berkland's confusing-and medically improbable-scenario securely within the official case file, the case was closed. No more questions. No more answers.
So was there any update from that 2001 article?
In conclusion, you want to implicate Scarborough in his intern's death.
Nope....there are related links, but none that are still around, maybe archived, but the point remains that Lori Klausutis died under very unusual circumstances and the medical examiner who made the ruling was later disciplined for lying on medical reports in 2 states...
Not Scarborough, he was in Washington, but someone in his office....Quote:

Anyway, I was watching live when this happened yesterday and I didn't even blink. I realized the magnitude of everything once they all freaked out but before then it seemed normal to me.
so what exactly is the magnitude? I don't get what the big deal isQuote:

at least you get to watch heads explode, in my country we don't even have the technology to fake that properly :lolQuote:

Remember, you didn't provide anything in your first post.
All the details we need for what?
What exactly are you saying?
Wrong-o again. You go on these politically-motivated witchhunts, never bothering to disclose whatever facts you think support your position and then you offer limp-wristed chastizing for those who call you on your lack of factual support. It's one of my favorite traditions here in the Political Forum -- it's right up there with your relentless unwillingness to actually reveal a theory about 9/11 because you're concerned about the consequences of such a revelation.Quote:

I've stated over and over again that the reason I won't speculate on 911 is because I am waiting for a real investigation to be conducted, which may still be years away, but go ahead and cherry-pick what you want to hear...
I'm not trying to prove anything, all I'm saying is Joe Scarbrough likely got a pass on this controversial cover-up because he was a Republican in a red state...Quote:

How can he get a pass if there is nothing at all to link him to her death, which was ruled accidental, other than being her employer?
.....Well, because it did happen in his office for one, the Medical examiner who determined the cause of death has been fined in two states for lying on medical reports for two.....but keep acting like there's nothing there....Quote:

Oddly enough, that isn't the most preposterous thing he has posted here.
Joe didn't get a free pass. Move on!!
You have to admit there is something highly suspicious about this girl mysteriously dying in Joe's office and the medical examiner being fined in two states for lying on medical reports.......I hate to say it but usually when there is smoke there's fire with politicians. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Joe had more to do with her death than we know.
:lmao There's nothing highly suspicious about some incredibly weak circumstantial evidence.
