Matthews is married to Kathleen R. Matthews, who anchored News 7 on WJLA-TV, the ABC affiliate in Washington, D.C before accepting a position as an Executive Vice President with J.W. Marriott. The couple has 3 children: Michael, Thomas and Caroline. He was the commencement speaker at the University of South Carolina on May 5, 2006, where his wife was awarded an Honorary Doctorate; the next day his wife was the commencement speaker, and he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate (OMG!). On May 20, 2006, Chris Matthews delivered the commencement address at Fordham University in The Bronx where he was also awarded an honorary degree. On May 20, 2007, he gave the commencement address at Villanova University and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate(TWO?!). Matthews was also the commencement speaker at Loyola College in Maryland during their 2001 graduation ceremony.[citation needed]
Oh thats funny.
Matthews has singlehandedly lost Holy Cross, Fordham, and Villanova significant amounts of money. When he gave the graduation speech at Holy Cross in 2003, my uncle, a Holy Cross alum, stopped giving money to Holy Cross. When he gave the graduation speech and received an honorary doctorate at Fordham, my father, a Fordham alum, stopped giving money to Fordham. When he gave the graduation speech and received an honorary doctorate at Villanova, my other uncle, whose daughter went to Villanova, stopped giving money to Villanova. He’s a one-man donations-buster.
Dropped out of UNC Graduate school yet calls Harvard MBA Graduate Bush an idiot.
How ironic is it that he gets a Gen Ed degree at a 2500 student school and is the media elite?
