CHRIS MATTHEWS ON THE FALLOUT FROM FORMER NBC CO-WORKER AL FRANKEN: “The worst you can say about Democrats is they’re too pure. That’s a stupid thing to say, but that’s the worst thing you can say about them, these guys set too high a standard for public office. How’s that for an argument?”

As typical for Chris, not a very good one.

I’m so old, I can remember when Chris Matthews guest-hosted for Rush Limbaugh in the late 1990s, in-part because at the time, he was the rare Democrat who was publicly disgusted by Bill Clinton’s behavior. However, last month, Matthews claimed on air that he was “‘too tough on Bill Clinton’ during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Matthews apparently still views Clinton as the victim and forgot that the college intern was painted as the aggressor and villain in the situation,” as Rachel Mullen wrote at Hot Air.
