I couldn't figure out why tweety was suddenly letting people talk....

and then I realized...it wasn't tweety. I had been listening to MSNBC in the background, and Matthews was continually interrupting everyone, especially just as they appeared ready to make a point. He interrupted Andrea Mitchell, and I was hoping we'd get a repeat of the time she told him to let her finish, according to a DUer. He introduced an expert, and then refused to let him say a single syllable.

Then suddenly, Michael Isakoff, local reporters, and others were speaking in complete sentences, and I began to understand what was happening. I've been at work all day, and was having trouble putting it all together. I mentally congratulated tweety on his improved style.

But the next thing I heard was Chris Hayes's voice. Then it all made sense.

I think if I were Matthews, I would be embarrassed that someone with so much less experience on TV could anchor rings around me. Think he's embarrassed?

1. I hate to say it,

But it's time for Chris to retire. I love him, but really. . .

2. Matthews is so bad about NOT. SHUTTING. THE. HELL. UP.

He thinks people watch the show solely to see him and listen to him talk non-stop.

It's rude, and says more about what kind of a person he truly is than anything else. I find it very annoying, and as such don't watch him as often. He should take lessons from Rachel or Lawrence, they're very good at interviewing.

3. Earlier

he was speaking to an expert about how a person becomes a terrorist, and Matthews commented how the uncle said he disliked the two brothers. The expert made a point, but ended it with something like "someone disliking you doesn't mean you're a terrorist." Under his breath Matthews said, right before the cut to commercial, "Yeah, but maybe it's a start."

I will never consider him a journalist. I will, also, never consider him responsible.

4. That was a very unprofessional comment.

While I was listening, he kept whining. I heard him say that it was a hard story to cover live. He kept sighing. As usual, it was all about him.
