Matthews has completely lost it. We elected the "goes to bed at 9:30" Bush because he was "cooler" than the pot-smoking Algore.

And there are more contradictions in the transcript.

Geeze. Matthews used to be a populist liberal I could disagree with, but tolerate. Now he is in the Howard Dean/Cindy Sheehan wing of the whacko party.

And the constant lie about Bush not reading books. Bush reads books (such as Edmund Morris' Theodore Rex), but what he does not read is the New York Times.

I never thought I would look back on Walter Mondale, and Michael Dukakis, and Tip O'Neil and say "Those were reasonable liberals."

Kookism is clearly contagious.

If Chris Matthews thinks the world is falling apart, what on earth did he believe in the late 1980s during the Jimmy Carter era? What did he think on the morning of April 24th 1980 when all that was left of the Iranian hostage rescue attempt was a smoking hole and charred bodies? What did Chris think of cowardly Democrats like Carter's Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, who resigned because he opposed daring to rescue Americans held hostage?

If Chris is in a tizzy now, what was he in the late spring and early summer of 1980, when the Democrat party he was a part of, which was supposed to return America to moral clarity after Watergate and Vietnam, failed so completely?
