Chris Matthews is a jackass
October 30, 2006 I'm watching the 'debate' on the local NBC station right now ...this is supposed to be a debate among Jim Davis, Charlie Crist, and Max Linn (the 3 gents running for Florida Governor)- moderated by Chris Matthews. I've watched Chris Matthews on Hardball a few times and am always struck by how incredibly RUDE he is. We don't need more of this impolite behavior in politics. What we NEED is honest debate.
What we have this evening is Chris Matthews blathering on and interrupting the candidates. Each candidate should be asked the same question and have the opportunity to respond to that question. Matthews is trying to run this 'debate' the way he would run Hardball. It doesn't work.
Prior to this evening's show (it's more of a show than a debate), Matthews had said that he considered '5 words' to be the ideal question. Hell, his interruptions of the candidates are each more than 5 words.
I'm afraid NBC has demonstrated that the networks cannot be trusted to broadcast honest political coverage. NBC is a business; they are in it for the bucks, and there is nothing wrong with that ...except when it comes to our elections.

Welcome aboard!!! I have the same complaints about Matthews. Does that mean we are moving closer together? Naw! We just agree that Matthews is an ass.
