[See NewsBusters for more.] A fiery Joe Scarborough on Tuesday denounced the media's double standard when it comes to investigating the scandal engulfing the Clinton Foundation's financial dealings. An angry Scarborough erupted "The Clintons have made $150 million over the past decade because of contacts they made during public service!" He described the typical journalist reaction as "Let's bow down before Bill and Hillary, because if we ask the same questions of them that we ask of every other politician, then oh, my God! We have crossed a line!"  Scarborough's outburst was a result of Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski's skeptical questioning of Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer. She read a quote from the writer's book in which he suggested, "There is nothing clearly illegal about these payments, but their source, size and timing raise questions." This led Brzezinski to complain, "Your book is questions. I just wonder how does that not be interpreted as clearly political? There's nothing here that's evidence of illegality."
