HA! Mika smacks down Joe on Big Bird

Joe shows the Big Bird ad by the Obama Campaign and berates the campaign saying this is a serious time in the campaign and this is a serious issue. He says that is a ad that is too clever by half. He goes on to complete his thought by saying "Maybe now is not the time to do that". Mika snaps back saying "Maybe now is not the time to be talking about Big Bird". Joe is left speechless with his only retort "wow... whatever gets you through the night.".

Is Mika supposed to just chirp supportively as you dispense your sage wisdom?

The crew there seemed pretty pissed about it and appeared very uncomfortable because it sortof torpedoed their "rah rah Rmoney" spirit.
