for months he's been insulting MSNBC at least once a week. This morning he has the gall to discuss MSNBC's business:

JOE: He works for MSNBC. That was always the worst. Not any more, though, because things have changed. Thank you, Andy. That was the past, this is the now. Thank you, very much.

yes, he even clasped his hands together when he thanked Lack. And as usual, Mika giggles and says nothing.

And his Twitter today:

I thanked Andy Lack this morning for bringing a great news sensibility to the network. He & Phil are great at what they do and we're lucky.
