Former Congressman Joe Scarborough (R-Fla.) along with Mika Brzezinski, is the host of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, a show Time magazine calls "revolutionary" and the New York Times ranked as the top news show of 2008. Morning Joe features interviews with top newsmakers and politicians, in-depth analysis of the day’s biggest stories and is described by the New Yorker as "appallingly entertaining.”
Previously, Joe hosted "Scarborough Country" a primetime news show the San Francisco Chronicle called "must-see TV." In addition to his career in television Scarborough is also the author of the New York Times Best Seller "The Last Best Hope" Restoring Conservatism and America's Promise, a book that draws on the forgotten genius of conservatism to offer a road map for the movement and the country. Delivering a searing indictment of the political leaders who have led us astray, Scarborough inspires conservatives to reclaim their heritage by drawing upon the strength of the movement’s rich history.
Prior to his career in television, Joe was the publisher and editor of the award-winning newspaper "The Florida Sun."
He served as a member of Congress from 1994-2001. While in office, Joe was a member of the Judiciary Committee and the Armed Services Committee. He was a part of a small group of Republican congressmen the National Journal said possessed a surprising amount of power given their youth and lack of years in Congress.
His 2004 book "Rome Wasn't Burnt in a Day" predicted the collapse of the Republican majority and US economy due to his party's reckless spending.
