what did you think of Gov. Ned Lamont on Morning Joe today?

I like Ned and I thought his comments about our Rainy Day Fund were excellent. I thought he was being a little too cute when he asked Joe to come back and live in CT again but overall, he presented CT in a very positive light, given the time he had.

“After reports that married MSNBC anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski have been mysteriously broadcasting their show from Florida — sources speculated that the location is to benefit Scarborough’s tax situation.

The “Morning Joe” anchors have been reportedly on a home set in Jupiter, Fla., but using Washington, DC, backdrops.
Sources said the reason for the locale was a “tax dodge” — albeit a completely legal one — since Scarborough has a home in Florida and would need to spend a certain amount of the time there for any tax benefit.

“Mika just goes along for the ride,” a source said.”

Considering he has a home studio I wonder why he is frequently absent from the show.

I've never liked him and wish him an early retirement.

I hope he will get primaried.

That being said Mourning Joe is worse.

I still believe he killed his intern.

He will always be a murderer in my eyes. I never watch his show for that reason alone.
