Nearly six weeks ago, when federal agents intercepted the 79-foot sailboat Sarah Moira heading to the U.S. from Jamaica, they scored a major international drug bust — seizing the boat’s cargo of 4,497 pounds of marijuana and arresting the captain and his crew.

The captain of the vessel and the target of a federal probe is 58-year-old James Ormonde Staveley-O’Carroll, a shipbuilder and self-described firebrand liberal, whose daughter, Sarah, is married to Michael K. Matthews, the son of MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews.

I watch Chrissy every day. I did not hear him report this. As a faithful listener I am starting to have some doubt as to his objectivity. Or maybe there is a mistake in the story. There has to be a mistake somewhere because Chrissy is as objective as they come. (sarc)

Plus, the guy is such a wimp he's got one of those hyphenated married names.
Matthews must be very proud.

That make his daughter Sarah Staveley-O’Carroll Matthews, I suppose. Or, she could just downsize and go with Sarah Matthews.

And his son-in-law too.

That would be 'rude' for the media to ask Chris something personal, but they'll ask Sarah anything and mock her endlessly.

So I guess that drug money paid for his son’s wedding. Bet it was expensive. I wonder if it paid for a house or condo for the young couple also.

Asset seizure by DEA might be a bit entertaining, in this instance.

How about the grammar? Plus, it said that Chris Matthews is the ‘brother.’
