Joe Scarborough's reaction to a clip of Mitt Romney on "Morning Joe" said it all on Tuesday. Co-host Mika Brzezinski was discussing reports that Romney would be appearing with Paul Ryan more often to drum up excitement for his campaign. She replayed a clip of the candidate trying to get a crowd to chant his name. Scarborough who has been a vocal critic of Romney could only laugh and cover his face after watching the clip. "Oh, sweet Jesus," he said. Meanwhile, an amused Ed Rendell observed the spectacle with a wide grin. Scarborough followed up with a "Hail Mary" prayer, and a reference to the end of "Godfather II" when Fredo gets shot in the back of his head.
