Were those evil Republicans attempting to carpet-bomb Andrea Mitchell with balloons at the RNC last night? Chris Matthews mused about the possibility on Hardball this afternoon. The footage of Andrea gamely batting away the balloons has received a lot of play. This morning, the Today show had fun with it. But Matthews seemed to conceive a more sinister explanation:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: If you were watching last night, here was a funny moment. I have to tell you: I love Andrea. Look at this crazy moment. For some reason: I don't know if it was foul play or what it was, a billion balloons went right into her when she was trying to do a report from the floor. She was getting absolutely buried in that post-speech balloon drop.

She is so much elevated from everyone else, a slime thrower, a bit**.
Oh, sure, eviiilll Republican convention staff had a mobile radio-controlled balloon carrier in the rafters that could track Andrea Mitchell’s exact whereabouts so that they could be sure to bombard her with balloons at will.
Geeeesh......
Does Chris Matthews EVER feel embarrassment about his foolish remarks?
