NYT Reporter Explains Hourlong 'Morning Joe' Silence: 'I Didn't Flee'

[kpete]

"Did he say anything?" Scarborough wondered. "Not the entire time."

Brzezinski recalled Peters saying "one thing."

"It was really good though," Scarborough said in jest. "No, it was really good though, wasn't it?"

"No," Brzezinski said, sounding uncertain.

Scarborough eventually remembered that Peters "talked about John Boehner."
"I didn't flee the set, I assure you," he said in an email. "I came on the show, as I usually do, to talk about what's happening in Congress. I did that around 6:45 a.m. And I left the Ferguson discussion today to the others on the panel like (Washington Post columnist) Gene Robinson, who was able to capably and intelligently discuss it far better than I would have. One thing I've learned from doing TV: I've never regretted not opening my mouth. It's always the times when you do -- and shouldn't have -- that get you in trouble."

1. I never watch this lame ass show and I have no clue who Jeremy Peters even is

But somehow this is funny as hell to me.

If more people came on these crappy pundit fests and didn't say anything, it would be an improvement.

2. Dead Intern Joe actually shuts up long enough that others can speak?! (nt)
