“Who is Newt Gingrich?’’

In case you missed it this morning, MSNBC's "Morning Joe" originated live from Jerry's Famously Overpriced Deli on Miami Beach.

The Miami Herald's Doug Hanks reports the strippers sat in the back and “Morning Joe” fans sat up front.

“Who is Newt Gingrich?’’ asked Skrawberry, a 26-year-old stripper occupying a back table at Jerry’s Famous Deli during the live broadcast. She and friends gathered there for a post-clubbing breakfast, drinking from a $450 bottle of Moet pink champagne left over from their night at the Fontainebleau’s LIV.

For some unexplained reason, the show's producers booked the Herald's Dave Barry, a guy who never passes up an opportunity to roll out his repertoire of stale jokes and show-off his equally-dated, 1980's, dorky bowl-on-the-head haircut.

Dave didn't disappoint this morning, dredging up the three-year old story of a dead shark on the downtown People Mover. (It's one he never tires of telling.)

Get some new material, Dave!
