I think Chris Matthews has spent too much time playing goalie in horseshoe-pitching matches

Nuts. Positively nuts.

Even as a mere leftwing bullhorn, Matthews is over the top, a high-priced political televangelist whose role consists exclusively of preaching nonsense to an adoring choir of yawping fantasists. He’s just there to ensure that the fringe doesn’t become detached from the greater Democratic carpet.

One of these days, MSNBC might figure out that the kind of audience to whom Matthews appeals would be equally happy with a lower-cost barker, and then what will happen to Tingle Pins? I envision him travelling the country, hiring out to county fairs as a human target in the always-popular dunk-the clown booth. I predict that he will enjoy a very successful career in this new endeavor; after all, there are few men so adept at inspiring people to throw things at them.

Chrissy Tingles would be a great Democratic candidate for office! After all, Joe Biden can't fill the role of Party clown forever.

And may I say that this sentence: He’s just there to ensure that the fringe doesn’t become detached from the greater Democratic carpet. is pure gold.

Thankee, Rebecca. And you, too, Deborah.

Mathews ceased to exist in my universe when his leg tingled for Obewun,
