The Humiliation of Chris Matthews, Las Vegas DNC Debate and Other Ramblings

I have been struck by Chris Matthew's humiliation after last week's New Hampshire elections who, as Hilllary Clinton herself put it, "is obssessed with me". Chris made a fatal mistake as journalist and political commentator, he took sides. Leading up to the elections, it was clear that Matthews had this unbridled hatred for Clinton. It came as no surprise that he rejoiced when a young upstart from Illinois called Barack Obama came on to the scene. He practically annointed Obama as a messiah not only of America, but of the world. He jumped on to the Obama bandwagon and started a relentless attack against the Clinton machine. On the eve of the New Hampshire primary, he was so giddy with excitement. He like all of the main stream media, were deceived by the polls into believing that Obama was headed for a comfortable victory. This culminated with his confrontation - correction - serenade with Hillary at a campaign event. Well as everyone knows, Hillary won the elections, to the amazement of Chris Matthews.



Which brings me to the post-debate roundtable from Las Vegas tonight on MSNBC. Chris was falling over himself trying to praise Hillary for her DOMINATING performance on the debate. Like a puppy with it's tail between its legs, Chris was scrambling to make up for his error in judgement. How do you restore your credibility as an INDEPENDENT UNBIASED journalist? Suck up to the very target of your previous attacks! We are now, as a result, blessed with an endlesss supply of priceless TV moments, as Chris squirms at any roundtable discussing Hillary and the New Hampshire primary. Ooooh Christooopher.....baaby!
