Scarborough: Drinkin' the MSNBC Kool-Aid?

Scarborough has been a consistently anti-liberal voice on MSNBC for years. But here he is coming out against Republican senators who have complained about Harry Reid possibly keeping the Senate in session through January 4:
It’s offensive that people would use Christianity for political leverage with an argument that is so baseless that I got to say, my breath is taken away. Do we want to start with the most obvious one about who else is not going to be home on Christmas day? Troops in Afghanistan. ... The Republican Party has the upper hand in so many ways; in these areas they need to just shut their mouth. They’re embarrassing themselves.
A heartening statement in support of Harry Reid, as is this one from Faith in Public Life:
[The senators'] statements suggesting Christmas is a reason to delay action on a treaty aimed at reducing the threat of nuclear war is a misuse of the Christian holiday. If anything this time of year should be an encouragement for our leaders to work harder for peace on earth in response to God who wills peace for all.
