Major Garret of Foxnews said it in nearly the identical way. They, on Special Report did a comparison of Iraq and Viet Nam.(No comparison) Matthews is a mouthpiece for not only the DNC, but particularly Ted Kennedy. Not too biased in his reporting or commentary. sarcasm
A week or so after the election...C-span aired a panel of Dems doing a post-mortem..the usual "future of the Dem party" stuff..One of the panelists was Brad Carson, (who lost the OK senate race to Tom Coburn)..He was fairly pessamistic on future Dem prospects, and he uttered what may well be the most prophetic lineI've ever heard..(especially so considering the rants of Kennedy, Mattews, et al, these last few weeks.. )Coburn said that the Dem party may be doomed to failure in national elections until the last Vietnam era Democrat dies..
