that s only the second time since 1885 that 28 inches of snow fell on washington, d.c. what do we have for the cooler today? there s nothing like a beautiful, warm cup of coffee in the morning. got to be careful, though, this could be used a as weapon. this has a lid on it. that s what happened this week. a resourceful dunkin donuts employee did this. a guy went up the drive-thru, asked the clerk to break a $100 bill, the clerk refused. he breaks through the window and says this is a robbery. her only defense? the hot coffee. bang there goes the whole pot. is that joe scarborough? that s more mika style. trying to get munchkins. he quickly drives away. some on the car, too. apparently she yelled the company slogan as the guy ran away.
speaking of random thoughts. oh, no, not another. remember when tulane you were probably too young when tulane had the scandal and they got picked out of basketball? it s a shame. because next year they were going to be 18-17. what were they. they re throwing the games, right? it happens. you have a couple bucks on the game, throw an errant pass here, an air ball there. what s coming up next, willie? let s talk about something serious. what s coming up next? new polls, new problems. numbers are out on sarah palin. stop that. we re not talking about that. go away. take her pictures down. seriously. also, we ll have mika s must read. morning joe. new poll s out on john boehner. that s interesting.
enough. later, a look back at the life of sergeant shriver. here s bill karins with a check of the forecast. bill? good morning, mika. ice storm yesterday is over with in new england. we have light freezing drizzle this morning along with snow and rain showers. nothing compared to the misery new england went through yesterday. to enjoy today, it will be the warmest day we ll see for a while up and down the east coast. there s the storm from the berkshires up into areas of massachusetts. still icy conditions, hartford northward on the map. wednesday s forecast for today, temperatures should get up to 40 in the big city. 36 in boston, look at tomorrow. highs only 26 to 32. much colder. if you haven t gone out and shoveled yet, make sure you do so. the next storm already on the way. it will hit kansas city and st. louis today.
with regis. they ll be with us this morning on morning joe. that s trouble. that s trouble. i m nervous. we talked about john boehner being at the state dinner. guess who will be there? jackie chang. an invited guest, he will be there and the speaker of the house will not. how s that for perspective. betty white, last night on david letterman having some fun. kind of mika style, bottoms up. what do you like to do in your free time? i like to do most anything, play with animals mostly and vodka s kind of a hobby.
mika, you need to buck up. i know you think this story has no purpose other than keeping sarah palin s names in the headlines for another news cycle. i know you think she has nothing to offer the national dialogue and her speeches are coated talking points mixed in with words picked up at random from a thesauras. i know you think her reality show was pathetically unstatesman like and at the same time i know you believe it represents the pinnacle of her potential. and that her transparent desperation to be a celebrity so completely eclipsed her interest in public service so long ago, that there would be no journalistic integrity on reporting on one of the lesser kardashian s ass implants.
