Note to Chris Matthews: when mocking someone for using a ghostwriter, it's best to avoid doing so on a day when Hillary Clinton is prominently in the news . . .
On this evening's Hardball, Matthews went out of his way to mock Joe The Plumber for his use of a ghostwriter on his just-released book, Joe The Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream.
This on the day Hillary Clinton was in the headlines, having been named Barack Obama's Secretary of State. You know, Hillary Clinton. The woman famous, in writing "It Takes A Village," for failing to credit her . . . ghostwriter.

You wanna talk ghostwriters, Matthews? Ping to Today show list.
Bump
What a petty little man he is, and what is with the excess of saliva. Very unattractive.
So now everytime Obama uses a monitor or reads something, he’s going to tell us who wrote it for him?
Ewwww....lol
What about his man crush guy, Obama, who has William Ayers write Dreams of my Father???
OOOPSY, Chrissy, you better be careful when you criticize others for failings of your loved ones.
The tingle Matthews feels on his leg comes from his wetting himself repeatedly.
Looks to me like Joe gave the guy cover credit as an author.
Libs are so petty. Their disdain for actual working people is pathetic.
Exactly.
As mentioned in the article: “If Matthews would have looked at the screen, he would have seen that, his insinuations aside, Joe wasn’t trying to hide the fact that he had help in writing the book. To the contrary, prominently featured on the book’s cover is ‘with Thomas N. Tabback.’”
Yup.
Chrissy ought to look into all the ghostwriters used by prominent Demagogues, so many not even credited, before he picks on Joe-the-Plumber!!
Just another example of the Mediascum with their hypocritical double-standards, still picking on JTP while pumping up their empty suits like Obama, Hillary, Albore, John Kerry, John Edwards, et al.
I bought the book to help Joe!
I AM JOE THE PLUMBER!
Doesn’t Sissy have more important things to do, like order his Special-O Hope-n-Change Special kneepads for his special, private, extensive interviews with The One?
... Roger that. More to the point then he’s not a “ghostwriter”. He’s an author, or perhaps co-author.
As a practical matter there’s really no other way for guy to crank out a book in mere weeks and in time to catch the wave of publicity, that won’t last long... That’s the time to call in a professional. A “regular joe” just aint gonna get that put together in time to hit the market before interest wanes.
An eminently wise decision, that.
yup, that and his new VP is a plagarist.
Nutty hypocrats don’t bother with seeing their own hypocrisy do they?
I don’t even use the word democrats anymore since Zell Miller retired.
