Is it just me, or is Chris Matthews getting more grotesque? He was horrible to Pete Hegseth tonight, demanding that he answer “Give me the answer! What is the answer!” when that’s what Pete was trying to do. Insisting that Iraqi comments about a withdrawal timetable vindicated every anti-Iraq war position ever taken. It was like watching someone in a loony bin from behind a one-way mirror. And you couldn’t wipe the spittle off the screen.

I also found Matthews’ hectoring of Hegseth off the charts. Pete was diplomatically making the point that this was a negotiation between two governments, yet Matthews was insisting the Iraqis’ position vindicated Obama’s view that we should get out of Iraq. The LAST thing Maliki would want would be for Obama to follow through on his, now inoperative, promise to get us out in 16 months!

His behavior was so upsetting I had to change channels. A few months ago he belittled a congressman who didn't have a clue what he was discussing and the clip was replayed on most MSNBC programs ad nauseam. I think he was looking for another moment in the sun but it fell flat with Hegseth.

Speaks volumes about the powers that be at NBC who are considering him as Russert's replacement as well as the fools at foxnews who hired Wolfson.
