Joe Scarborough and the rest of the Morning Joe crew actually had my sympathy this morning. Amidst all the infighting at MSNBC, including demands for Joe's head in Olbermann-friendly circles, one could sense that the panel was on its best behavior. During the opening hour, a subdued David Shuster—who had openly fought with Joe just two days ago—was there, but just barely. Scarborough himself could not have been more enthusiastic in his praise for yesterday's DNC proceedings, from Bill's speech to the historic fact of the nomination of an African-American.
But if my impulse is to cut the Morning Joe folks some slack today, I have to draw the line at the whopper Joe got off at 6:45 AM, in which he claimed that Biden's presence on the ticket will help reassure gun owners that Obama won't take their weapons.

Let's hear what Joe had to say, then compare it with Biden's record on gun ownership. As you'll see, the contrast couldn't be more stark.

She lost her base, the Blacks!
Her and Bill had always counted on them being in their hip pocket, but that was over.
If the Blacks do not feel the Hillary supporters have supported Obama (and they won't), she will might well feel that backlash in New York if she runs again.
There is nothing left for them to do now but watch the train wreck of Obama/Biden and hope to regain control of the Party.
LOL ... typo’s notwithstanding ... I think you get my point.
I was going to sit it out until the Prince of Darkness named him. I loathe Biden. He's a true believer.
Thanks. I had not thought of that.
