Another Sad Installment in the Series: ‘Why the Hell Is Chris Matthews on TV?’

Chris Matthews just said some crazyass shit on #MSNBC that’s gonna blow your mind when you see it. Got that clip, Media Research? — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) October 23, 2012 My usual habit after debates has been to switch to MSNBC and see what their reaction is.

My Beer vs. Nate Silver’s Two Beers

Politics is a lot like pro football — it’s always more interesting if you’ve got money riding on the outcome. I don’t know if Hugh Hewitt is much of a football fan, but if he’s a gambler and you’re an Obama supporter, Hugh’s talk of the “ongoing collapse of President Obama’s campaign” identifies Hewitt as an easy […]
