This has been one of those times:

LOL. I will always have a bit of a soft spot for Chris Matthews because he was at the receiving end of one of the most humiliating (in a gentle way) public insults I've ever heard.

He was a guest on Don Imus' radio show back in the mid-2000s and he was ranting and hyperventilating about the Bush administration over some issue or another. He actually dropped a couple of four-letter words that got bleeped off the air on the radio, and Imus scolded him (I'll paraphrase it as best I can):

IMUS: "Why are you swearing at me on the air like that?"

MATTHEWS: "I'm sorry, Don. Sometimes I get carried away. Don't get upset ... I do this on my show sometimes, too."

IMUS: "Yeah, but I actually have an audience here!"

ROFL.
