Well, Elizabeth Warren just knocked 'em dead on Morning Joe! [View All]

The panel were mostly speechless. Mika gushed a bit, but she is outspoken in her support for Warren going back a few years.

Mark Halperin tried to trap her in a question about China's military, but she answered him so directly and knowledgeably that he shut up fast. Willy Geist made an ass out of himself, as did Barnicle. She characterized the tone of their questions which is "why don't you just give up trying to change Washington." She made a spirited pitch to be a voice sticking up for the middle class. She said she hoped that her voice could encourage other voices and yes, she actually said that could create a "movement." It dawned on me that she meant to have herself as starting a counterweight to the Tea Party. And I think she made people watching think "why not?"

When she finished her rousing call for ordinary people to come together against the powerful lobbies (and she singled out GE!!), everyone around the table was stunned. Not a yip or a yap.

I'm sure the segment will be up on the MJ website at msnbc.com later this morning. Take a look!
