Mike Pence missed a shot here. He could have reminded Matthews that he, Matthews, has actually stated on national TV that crap flows uphill!
Pence missed by not missing Matthews's show.
I had no idea (I don't take cable) that Matthews is such a brainless screamer and bullyragging polemical prosecutor for the Left. Of course, he worked for years as chief of staff to House Speaker Tip O'Neill, so he's a Boston partisan of the worst sort. What can you say about a guy who gets tingles up his leg when he hears a Commie 'Rat politician like Obama give a speech?
Here we see him pushing, as Rush analyzes, one and a half ideas -- Republicans are brainless religious zealots and droolers. And he won't let Pence get a word in edgewise. There's no real exchange, just a dressing-down by Matthews of Mike Pence, as if Pence were a wayward child who came in without his homework.
But Pence should have declined this invitation. The idea that someone like Matthews is going to invite someone on so they can talk is a joke. Rush and Levine and Savage are more honest in that they use the format called "non-guested confrontation". When they go off, they don't abuse a guest, and they can let fly at will without being rude to another person.
