Chris Matthews Beaned
A Hardballer gone soft. Also: French and Indian warriors. Da Vinci decodified. Self-service. Lost over Toomey. Plus more.

Softball?? More like Puffball. My wife and I watched the

interview with our mouths
open. I have never been a fan of Matthews anyway, but this was way
beyond the pale. Was this scripted by Kerry’s campaign? If it
wasn’t, they need to put Matthews on the payroll, if he isn’t
already. That was without question the most appallingly partisan
“interview” I have ever seen. Matthews has no business calling
himself a journalist after that.

I just read “Let’s Play Softball” by David Hogberg. I don’t know when I’ve ever read anything by any journalist that was so very akin to what I contemplated as I watched — with angst and repulsion — the orgy between Matthews and Kerry last night. But then I’ve been saying for some days now that Matthews should rename his show. He has been, of late, disgustingly soft and simple-minded. His bias has been damned obvious.
