My ‘Morning Joe’
On a class break this morning, I ran across the street from school to Starbucks to grab an iced Americano. And whom did I see standing next to the bar waiting for a drink upon entering? None other than former congressman and current MSNBC star Joe Scarborough.
Initially, I walked past him. I’m a big fan, but usually try not to bug celebs when I see them (including, frequently, former Fed chair Alan Greenspan at the same Starbucks). Still, something grabbed me and I headed back to say this:
Pardon me, but I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask if you weren’t here for your morning joe.
Scarborough, host of the MSNBC morning show Morning Joe, smiled and said he guessed he was. He introduced me to his wife, and we chatted briefly about law school. (He got his degree at Gator law.)
It’s rare to say this about someone on television, and so I’ll say it: It’s good to see Scarborough is as nice and real in person as he is on television.
