No class. No scruples. I stopped watching this ass clown when I saw him make the following statement years ago.

"We're proud of our president (Dumbya)). Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits."

This is the reason I refuse to listen to Matthews. I watched him undermine his credibility in real time. I watched him during the Clinton-Lewinsky thing. I watched him leading up to the Iraq War.

Now I will not watch him at all. I know who he is. And this piece captures it perfectly.
