Pity Joe Scarborough

I don't like Joe Scarborough, or his MSNBC show Morning Joe.

He comes across as too much the standard-brand conservative moron, seems all too willing to let Patrick Buchanan camp out on set to spew his racist venom, and why Mika Brzezinski hasn't slapped the taste out of his mouth by now I have no idea.

But you get a bright flash, every now and then, that makes watching it priceless.

Yesterday or so ago, they ran a clip of a rally featuring Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan together.  The crowd was appropriately enthusiastic, and started chanting Ryan's name when he was introduced.

Mittens waved for silence and started chanting "Romney-Ryan, Romney-Ryan . . . "

The crowd's enthusiasm and participation faded, and fast.

Watch the reactions:

Poor Joe.

Bwahahahahaha!

The fun bit is Mika trying so hard not to smile, and Ed Rendell grinning like he just got laid.

If I didn't know any better, I would swear, hand on heart, that Mittens is trying to throw this election.
