And why did Giuliani go on Morning Joe today to trash Romney as "elitist" and "a man without a core, a man without a substance"?
Well, Rudy also reminded viewers that "I ran against him in '07…

December 14th, 2011 7:56 AM
Was someone asleep at the switch of Morning Joe's vaunted seven-second delay?
On Morning Joe today, Chuck Todd was seen flipping the bird as the show went to break and he waited to come onto the set. Hat tip reader Ray R.

Morning Joe: Obama Sees Our Democracy As 'Stumbling Block To His Great
December 12th, 2011 7:33 AM
Morning Joe remains the home of the overwhelming ratio of liberal to conservative guests. Even so, in recent weeks a narrative unflattering to Barack Obama has emerged around the table: Obama doesn't like his job. He doesn't particularly like people and is in the wrong line of work.
An even more damning appraisal was offered today: Obama doesn't think he has failed America. He thinks…
