Can't quite put my finger on why, but Morning Joe was actually enjoyable today.

Check out Brian Sullivan's rant near the start of hour two when it gets posted.

1. I saw that! Glad you posted it...

didn't you just love the stunned look of the other panelists? He was on to talk about Geithner but had a righteous, if overblown, rant about today's Republican Party.

I also liked the debate between Donny Deutsch and Nicolle Wallace. She was trying really, really hard to explain why Benghazi "matters"...

2. Here's the Brian Sullivan rant on Youtube

Came out of nowhere. 'I don’t recognize the current GOP'
For just a moment I thought "too bad Scarborough isn't here to witness this" then I thought again "no, it's better this way. It's always better this way."

5. At the end Sullivan jokes that today's the last day he'll probably be on Morning Joe

I guarantee if Scarborough had been on set today that Sullivan would have been cut off immediately and Joe would have gone on a massive temper tantrum.

The fact that Sullivan was allowed to go on his rant is just more proof that Morning Joe would be a good show if Joe and Mika weren't the hosts. The show is so micro-managed by Joe's determination to shut down anything not a GOP talking point that it lacks any unpredictability.

3. I can't wait for the day they'll be Mourning Joe.

ie, when he gets his ass off of cable tv.

4. Didn't catch it, but I'm assuming it was Joe-less? nt

[Mike Daniels]

6. Joe-less and Mika-less, IOW the best version of Morning Joe n/t

7. And Mika-less, other than running some pre-recorded interview in the 3rd hour.
