Mark Halperin Booey Bombs Morning Joe During Phone Interview

TIME magazine political analyst Mark Halperin called in to Morning Joe Tuesday morning to discuss his grades for Monday night’s Republican debate on Fox News. He was promptly hammered for previous grade inflation and being too kind to the frontrunner.

“Let me explain to the group here,” Mike Barnicle said, noting the “B” grade Halperin gave Mitt Romney. “Mark’s grading system is geared to sucking up to the candidate most likely to win.”

After fielding another question from Donny Deutsch, Halperin set them up for the most high-profile Booey Bomb possibly in television history:

“Hey I got one more thing to say… Baba Booey.”

“Get him off,” an unamused Mika Brzezinski said. “We’ve got enough stupidity here.”
