The mere thought of shaving his decades-old mustache off has been keeping David Axelrod up at night.
David Axelrod tells me he didn't sleep last night – will shave his 40 year old mustache on Morning Joe after $1 mil raised for epilepsy – cj

Aw, poor Davy.
Today on “Morning Joe,” Axe kept his promise to Joe Scarborough: He slashed the ‘stache after hitting his $1 million dollar fundraising goal for epilepsy research.
