I think you may be wrong about Matthews. MAY, I said.
He appeared to be profoundly impacted by Sunday's election in Iraq. You could almost see the conflict in his heart....he was struggling against admitting to himself that he'd been wrong. Maybe it had something to do with his visit a few days before to Camp Pendleton and then the elections following right on that.
But I've detected a change. He's challenging the Dems more on their "exit strategy" strategy. He doesn't seem to be buying into it.
Anyway, I just have this little feeling that Chris is struggling to maintain his anti-war stand.
The question is whether Chris Matthews' "moment of clarity" was long enough to actually spark a bit of life in that thick, yet empty head of his.
I don't watch Matthews anymore but....I do listen to Laura Ingraham. She played clips of Matthews comments during NBC's Iraqi election coverage.
Matthews was complaining that someone had this dumb idea of putting blue ink on voter's fingers. He kept screeching 'WHO'S BRIGHT IDEA WAS MARKING THESE PEOPLE". He thought the Iraqi voters would want to run and hide after voting.
Hello, earth to Matthews!
You spoke too soon.
He and Ron Reagan just discussed whether somebody at the White House "staged" that entire scene with the Iraqi woman hugging the mother.
