Chuck Todd, control yourself!

NBC News’ chief White House correspondent flipped off the camera on Wednesday morning’s “Morning Joe” as it was cutting to commercial.

Todd, who was standing next to “Meet the Press” host David Gregory, has since apologized on Twitter, writing: “The camera is always on. A lesson some of us never learn. My apologies. Am personally embarrassed. Was a joke with someone on other side.”

It does look like he was just having fun with someone “on other side,” but doesn’t MSNBC have a delay for things like that?
