Chris Matthews is a disgrace!
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Again he [Barack Obama] carries with him the history of tonight. And it's important to point out, as we have not so far, Barack Obama was not given this nomination, he won it. He was not offered a nice title like Secretary of State, like Condoleezza Rice got from the Republicans. He was not offered the title of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs as Colin Powell was, or Secretary of State. He won the nomination of a Democratic Party voting together. He defeated all other opponents and took the prize and took the leadership. He is the chosen leader of the Democratic Party. He is not some popular appointment or a showcase appointment. He is the victor here tonight. That's why he dictates the agenda. That's why he says, personally, what the Democratic Party will do if he's elected President. He is the leader of the party. He may be the leader of the country through a democratic process. It is so vital to understand the history being made here tonight. This is not something cute or wonderful. It is something compelling and powerful. This country has changed its history.
I used the think Matthews was a reasonably fair democrat/liberal pundit. But the last year since MSNBC has turned sharply left and he has ramped up his love affair with Barack Obama I find him to be more repugnant everyday.
I can only hope that he and Keith Olbermann beat the shit out of each other on live TV while arguing about which has the bigger Johnson for Obama!
