So: Bagelgate. In which an impish producer, during a recent episode of Dylan Ratigan’s Morning Meeting, filmed the preternaturally-composed-and-always-immaculately-garbed Jonathan Capehart…scarfing a bagel during a break, with the kind of gusto normally reserved for the first cheeseburger one consumes after returning from a years-long stranding on a desert island.
The producer then aired a large chunk of the Capehart Bagel Demolition on Morning Meeting—making for an amusing and lighthearted prank on an increasingly ubiquitous MSNBC commentator.
Amusing, that is, unless you happen to be…Capehart’s mom. Who was not only not amused by Bagelgate, but actively angry about it. Which she let Ratigan, and everyone else, know during today’s episode of Morning Meeting:
I love Jonathan Capeheart and don't think any malice was meant. He is such a sweet man.

Ratigan should concentrate on asking tough questions of these lying politicians. like Grassley. Something like, Since the american taxpayers psy 75% of your health care, why don't you get off the backs of the american taxpayers and buy your own plane since you make more than 174.000 dollars a year.
