Just in time for the new James Bond movie, Chris Matthews has earned himself a new moniker: Odd Job. Matthews says he sees his job as a journalist as doing everything he can to make the Obama presidency a success. Appearing on Morning Joe today, Matthews was reluctant to critique Rahm Emanuel's kabuki dance over accepting Obama's offer to be chief of staff. The Hardball host was equally unwilling to see the Emanuel episode as evidence of a lack of planning and discipline in the nascent Obama administration. Matthews eventually explained why.[H/t multiple NB readers.]

That may have been the pre-tingle Matthews.
Chrissy has been appointed Chief Obama Rump-Swab of the MSM.
He was Øbama all the way...
I still do.
What he means is that he will do everything possible to make the Obama presidency seem to be a success, regardless of reality.
That is the "journalism" of Pravda.
Seld Importance, thats what Barry and Matthews have in common.
Hissy is hoping for the Tony Snows old job.
I do not watch his show. Does anyone have a list of sponsors for his show so that I know whom not to buy from? It is my only way to fight back. Drive these propagandists into bankruptcy before the Obama administration bails them out.
Did Matthews get a new job? If his job is to help the country by helping the President, he has FAILED miserably so far. Oh, wait,,it’s just to help the Hussein Presidency, got it.
