Any informed person who thinks that Chrissy came off better than she did is insane.
In the case of Olbermann (who would have been a perfect agent in Goebbels' propaganda corps), he has the advantage of being both ignorant and nuts.
Olbermann called Malkin a fool.
Let me see if I have this right, Olbermann is holding down the fort on late night MNBC.

I don't think Matthews came off better than Malkin, but it sounded as though she hadn't done her homework. When he started hammering her with his did-Kerry-shoot-himself chant, she floundered and didn't even get out that Kerry had never been shot period. And she never clarified that Kerry's self-inflicted wounds weren't deliberate or that his after-action reports turned ricochets/blowback into purple heart material. Granted, he didn't give her a lot of time, but she just kept responding with something like "I'm just telling you what the book says".
Matthews looked as though he were about to explode, which didn't look good, but Malkin was overwhlemed by his bulldozing tactics. Hopefully she'll be better prepared for the next apoplectic host and shine as she usually does.
My question is why hadn't Matthews done his homework? It didn't seem as though he'd read the book...big surprise, huh?
He sounds sad and desperate each time he tries to come across smug and self confident. I'd LOVE to play poker against the guy.
