Did anyone else just watch that somewhat surrealistic "snowball fight" on Morning Joe?

It was extraordinary in its oddness...I can't quite describe how I felt after watching it. It was positively weird...I would suppose that they'll post it on their website. It seemed to go on forever and was vaguely mesmerizing.

...in front of a green screen. Truly strange. Notice how Joe and Mika were throwing AT the camera? Like, right in the viewer's face. Take that!

I must admit, I couldn't avert my eyes from the bad-ness.

Watching grinning apes pretend to have fun with fake sets must be a great way to start your day.

I've seen "morning shows" aplenty, and they're all pretty much the same joyless capering one expects from people paid to smile like a carnival dummy at six in the morning.

despite the fact that it is pegged as the "liberal network", they have a CONSERVATIVE, former Republican, headlining his own show for three hours every morning, five days a week.

Where is the "Fox" equivalent? What, they have a liberal on as a "guest", and if they don't toe the line and sound like a clown on acid, they get cut?
