Chris Matthews will never admit he's clueless.
he's not clueless. He is a hardened DemoncRAT politico with Boston ties & roots. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He did, unwittingly, by not being familiar with the events as related in the book and not knowing the nature of Kerry's "wounds".
Matthews, if you ever show up here...Kerry was injured by a grenade he fired into a pile of rice...and apparently got rice stuck in his backside as well. Guess Kerrybo didn't know he had to be a distance away from explosives he's employing to blow up some very tough rice.
