"Huh?" - Is Everglades Country unknown territory to Morning Joe?

OK, so did anybody tell Joe Scarborough that the 900 people at the sold-out Everglades Foundation dinner dance on Friday night were there because they want to save the River of Grass?

Or maybe the Teleprompter was fuzzy.

The news show host and former Florida congressman, speaking as emcee of the event, said that the Everglades would be around “long after we’re gone,” and that “the Everglades don’t need to be saved; we need to be saved.”

There was a bit of “huh?” from the crowd, but then the first course arrived and hey, that dim sum wasn’t going to eat itself, if you know what we mean.
