"Morning Joe" [View all]

Am I the only one who, after many months, has quit MSNBC's "Morning Joe" solely because of Joe Scarborough?

The other regulars on the show get to the point, explain the background of what's being discussed, and generally provide useful background and commentary. Scarborough, on the other hand, is all about "Uh, Uh, well, . . . " Watch the faces of the others on the show, especially Mika -- they seem to be waiting for him to STFU.

Willie Geist should have his own show.
