Politico editor-in-chief John Harris wins the award today for most painful TV moment.
He appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe earlier today to discuss the regular Playbook feature. Midway through his segment, however, he insisted that Maine Governor Paul LePage had regularly appeared on the show. Except that he had never appeared on the show. She and co-host Joe Scarborough took several moments to properly ridicule Harris. “The real question is whether Mr. Harris even watches Morning Joe,” cracked Scarborough. Mika Brzezinski: “Never, never, never, never, never.” Harris then made a joke that really didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
“I always set my alarm early, even when I’m not on,” said Harris, trying to redeem himself.
Fashion-wise, Politico‘s editor was also struggling. He looked rather homeless chic with his collar outside of his blazer.
The whole thing landed with a thud.
