Chris Matthews is a product of Democratic Party deception and of course he would assume this moving human moment to be "contrived"
We have Hollywood and the other phoney baloneys to thank for our cynicism - and Chris Matthews again proves how it diminishes our public discourse.
Let's ask Matthews if anyone in his family actually plays that monster grand piano pictured in his "Cathy Chris at home photo" shown elsewhere on Freepers.
Freepers should stop watching Matthews. They're probably the only ones that do watch him and end up contributing to his dismal ratings. Matthews, like Imus, is so impressed with himself that it's unwatchable.
