Morning Joe

Morning Joe

The morning zoo is desperately looking for a downside to the president winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Scarborough, for one, just said that the president has only made a speech "read off a teleprompter" and "he gets an award for that?" Wow. Teleprompters. Very Hannity of him.

When asked whether the Nobel Peace Prize will negate the Copenhagen thing, White House correspondent Savannah Guthrie replied, "Well. I don't know." I don't know? The Nobel Prize doesn't supersede a ridiculous story about the Olympics? Please. The last sitting president to be selected was Woodrow Wilson. The only prize George W. Bush received was yanked out of a box of Froot Loops.

Adding... If you're just now plugging into the tubes, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
