Morning Joe

Cable news people are phenomenally ridiculous.

I'm just now listening to Andrew Ross Sorkin and Mike Ross Barnicle suggesting that President Obama isn't "working" because he's delivered some speeches. Does he ever go to work?! Barnicle asked.

It's hilarious because I don't recall any such conversations on cable news when Bush was taking month-long vacations and going to bed at 9:30 every night.

These guys have access to the president's daily schedules, as well as a fleet of reporters who work inside the White House every day and claim to know all varieties of insidery information. So they ought to know that -- yes! -- the president works practically around the clock, and -- yes! -- part of the president's job is to deliver speeches and to appear on television.

Very serious.
