During a Morning Joe appearance late last month, Chuck Todd, as we reported, described the congressional race on Staten Island as a "fight between mob families." Not a great idea for a guy who not long before saw his comment that Alison Lundergan Grimes had "disqualified herself" made into a Mitch McConnell ad.
Back on the show this morning, Todd offered an unqualified apology for his "mob families" hit, calling it "bad, wrong" and a "cheap slur." But that didn't stop Joe Scarborough from trying to turn it into a joke and make things about himself.

Chuck apologizes; Joe makes it into a joke. Ping to Today show list.
He apologizes for the truth?..............
They are just political operatives who pretend to work for communication companies.
They call them “newsreaders” in England.
These supposed ‘journalists’ we have here in this country are nothing more than equivocating ideologues that can lie when they want to. I used to think politicians were the lowest form of life. I replaced that with journalists quite a while back.
Chuck Todd trivia:
-His goatee was originally constructed in 1995 and is refurbished monthly with a dye job, trim and brushing each month at a high-end salon.
-Todd refers to it as ‘my little pal,’ takes with him to various speaking engagements and says he’s grateful for its presence as it tends to distract the viewer from the fact that Todd’s hair is thinning rapidly.
-The goatee has its own dressing room with HEPA filtered air, specially-catered GMO-free and cruelty-free beverages & food.
-The goatee is fond of music of its year of vintage and has the likes of Lenny Kravitz/Rock & Roll Is Dead, Guided By Voices/Tigerbomb, and Soundgarden/Supermotorfinger on its iPod.
98.5% of them are staggeringly insincere and transparently cynical.
How 'bout this instead: just OWN it, and STFU
Any truth to the rumor that Todd’s goatee is dating David Gregory’s hair?
Unfortunately they fell out over the Meet The Press gig as well as a long-simmering dispute over an endorsement deal on a flesh-toned spackling compound used in the makeup process.
Veteran Andrea Mitchell swooped in at the last minute to grab the contract as she is a heavy user of the product.
Really? What about the guy who said ‘You no vote, we know where you live, so watch it’? That sounds like classic mob talk to me.
This particular race is between a creepy criminal and an incompetent.
Its given name is 'Merkin'.
More amazing than the apology is/are the statement(s). The apology seems to always be the headline maker.
