While the networks have time to fill, it's pointless to have political pundits talk about incidents of 35 years ago, since people like Chris Matthews was wasting away in the African jungles doing his thang in the Peace Corps. After the fiasco on "Hardball" two nights ago, it's obvious Matthews doesn't even comprehend what "self-inflicted wound" means in context. With the exception of a few, most of these talking heads today were in diapers during the Vietnam war. Pat Buchanan, then working in the Nixon White House, understands, but few others do.

There's an ex-POW, GOP, Congressman who would be great to go against McCain. I forget his name.
