The American Spectator

It was so pleasant to read a re-affirmation of a so-called “Hardball” program that so shocked me that I was narrating the Chris Matthew’s show to my husband as it was happening before my lying eyes.

Lately Chris Matthews has gone so far off the liberal deep end that I was moved to actually write him an email asking him what the heck he was doing.

Now I know Matthews is a liberal, his former Peace Corps self. But his show used to have some hard-hitting commentary and most times there were punditspresenting both sides of the issues. In the last month he gave Richard Clarke an entire hour and he paraded those 9/11 widows in front of us until I wanted to scream.

Tomorrow night his special guest is…..Bill Maher! I can’t wait.

I think one of two things is going on with Matthews, take your pick. First, Matthews’ show is in trouble and he’s trying to become the Rush Limbaugh of the liberals. Why else, as Hogberg said in his column, all the hoopla over seven years on the air, complete with liberal politicians sending in their congrats. Seven years is such an odd number, but when you’re in trouble you pull out the big guns.

OR….Chris is auditioning each and every night for a slot on the new Air America liberal talk radio network.

Matthews thinks he could be another Tim Russert but ain’t never gonna happen.
