I must give Chris Matthews full credit for asking a tough question of an interviewee. Of course, what makes this stand out is a longstanding failure on Matthews' part as with his colleagues to do this in the past. The missed opportunities are legion. However, good behavior should be rewarded and encouraged. It may surprise Matthews to know that he would gain our respect if he did this consistently, regardless of the party of his guest. I don't mean gotcha questioning but rather tough questioning that shows prep-work in understanding the issue and being relevant with the followup.

Worth repeating...


Hoping this isn't a case of even a blind squirrel finding a nut sometime...

You should send your remarks to hardball@msnbc.com . Like you, I feel Chris misses most of the time. He should not let lies and innuendo pass for good reporting - ever!
