Did You Know - Republican Joe Scarborough

This is old news, but new to me. Seems like another Holier-than-thou Republican hypocrite has a checkered past.

(Please note - the portion of the article posted below is very heavily biased toward implicating Joe Scarborough in the young girl's death, but there is no real evidence that her death was the result of anything but a medical condition. I searched quite deep into Google and found nothing from an unbiased source on this issue still online.)

From Project from the Old American Century...

A young female employee of one of Florida's Congressmen had died unexpectedly in the Congressman's office. There were no witnesses to her death and the cause of death was not apparent. Klausutis' boss, Joe Scarborough had recently resigned from Congress prematurely and unexpectedly, amid rumors about his marital fidelity and soon after a divorce. He had also abruptly resigned as publisher of the Independent Florida Sun, claiming that resigning from Congress and as publisher was necessary to spend more time with his sons.
The results of the mandated autopsy, however, were deemed "inconclusive" by Dr. Michael Berkland.


Dr. Michael Berkland, it turns out, has a very interesting background himself. Recently relocated to Florida, it is a matter of public record that Dr. Berkland's medical license in the state of Missouri was revoked in 1998 as a result of Berkland reporting false information regarding brain tissue samples in a 1996 autopsy report. Berkland does not deny the charges.

It's also a matter of public record that he was suspended from his position as Medical Examiner in the State of Florida in July, 1999.
