Words just uttered live on MSNBC by Chris Matthews. The coffee shop in Iowa where “Hardball” is being staged burst into applause.
Words that needed to have been said a long time ago.
My only additional thought is how in heck did the people of Texas ever think Perry was capable to be elected Governor. Might that be a reflection on Texans?
CAFFEINATED POLITICS 
My additional thought is how has Chris Matthews survived this long as a “news person”?
Chris Matthews is not a news reporter, he is an analyst and host of a show. The role therefore does not require the objective standards that a pure reporter embraces.
Well, Texas did give us GDubya.
My thought is how did he survive this long as “host of a show?” He asks a question, and then talks over the person trying to answer, and jumps on their response before they’re done and takes off on a tangent. He’s mired in 80s Washington think. But he is right on Perry.
Right on Solly…….
OK deekerivers, he’s not a news reporter…split that hair if necessary to make your case – but he sure isn’t an analyst or a host either… He’s an ill mannered, bombastic bully; who for reasons unknown commands air time to show the world what a dope he is… And good luck finding a “Pure reporter” with objective standards! They all disappeared long ago – victims to the national networks that the sheeple of the US believe and are therefore so blindly led to the kool-aid.
