There was a time when Chris Matthews’ schtick was entertaining. Like, say, 1998, latest. It really started to come unraveled for Matthews in 2004, when he was such a jerk that Zell Miller wanted to challenge him to a duel.
But lately, he is completely around the bend. If you think South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford is a flaky, Chris Matthews is a Pillsbury crescent roll. From the Obama thrill up his leg, to his latest assertion that the cost of a war has the same moral imperative as a cost for health entitlements, Matthews has made himself a national joke, a bizarre caricature of a TV pundit.
