I have always wanted Tucker in that slot. Morning Joe and Mika are pathetic. Willie is the only bright spot, but I can't hang on and wait for his few camera shots. A few minutes of this dribble and I am gone. (Usually fuming at Mika) Many of us have known about the female staffer for several years, but the powers that be at MSNBC appear to have blinders on regarding this scandal. Missy,

Infidelity, divorce, resignations and a dead woman staffer. Very disturbing stuff. The Radar piece linking to Joe’s ugly past is very disturbing.

Two truths come out of all of this: (1)the ratings stink, and (2)Morning Joe is here to stay. No matter how bad the ratings get, NBC (Nope. Not MSNBC. MSNBC isn't in charge anymore) has determined MSNBC is a loss leader, and they won't create any competition for The Today Show. Today is close to faltering on their run of being #1, and nothing can threaten that, no matter what the cost. They've even pulled national advertising (for Today) on several occasions to avoid Neilsen; that costs very big bucks! They know live news, docs, and reruns would do better; but they all would cut into the Today audience as well. MJ won't. You’re not alone in your opinion Missy.

It seem after every show I caught they did that same routine. Did they finally drop the bogus so have we heard if we are going to be back routine?

Live news just doesn't work against Fox and Friends. the other options failed miserably. Remember David Gregory imitating Imus? Mourning Joe is the queen of the pigs. Of course they could always mimic that successful weekend strategy and end live broadcasts from 6 to 9. DocBlocks anyone? MSNBC has limited options in filling the time slot.

I tried; I could honestly not watch for more than a minute! I loved Scarborough Country when it first started, but gradually stopped watching. And now this morning crew is just the worst, with the exception of Willie Geist, who is in fact funny. I can't believe MSNBC cannot do better. Tucker Carlson was much better in that morning slot, but I guess I'm alone with that opinion. You guys who have watched it are very brave. I tried; I could honestly not watch for more than a minute!

I gave it a fair shot but it lost me a few weeks ago with its endless chatter and awful interviews. I’ve said it before - Morning Joe stinks.
