The shock therapy you mentioned was the election on Nov. 2nd. Joe finally realized that he needs to "move to the right". Looks like Mika has elected to stay the course.
It would have been refreshing if Joe had run this segment a year ago instead of waiting so long. Guess he didn't have the courage or foresight to take a stand.

I expected Mika to rip off her mic and walk off the set in protest..... We can take bets
on how long it took for someone at the White House to give Mika a call, " what the hell
is happening, we thought you were on our side......

The liberals are beginning to eat their own and the show is just starting, get out the
popcorn and pull up a comfrotable chair and enjoy shoooooow.......
