More Matthews:

What's with this guy? On the last day of 2005, his weekend "Chris Matthews Show" spent time - yet again - on who might run for president in 2008. Instead of focusing on real issues and campaigns in 2006, Matthews engages in a total waste of time. What is gained by speculating now on a political situation that will not be clear until the 2006 elections are over?

These Matthews shows on 2008 allow him to get all excited about John McCain or Rudy Giuliani. And show his hostility towards Hilary Clinton.

Speaking of which, here is what Matthews asked Norah O'Donnel ("Nor") about the New Hampsire primaries: (emp add) (250k .wav file here)

Are we talking about somebody going up there, Nor, and actually taking Hilary's head off? Not just running for V.P. secretly but really trying to knock her off and grab that nomination away from her.

Actually taking Hilary's head off. That's what a manly man would say amongst men.

Matthews is becoming a joke when it comes to the macho strutting. A few weeks ago, when discussion Giuliani and McCain, he said that they both had "street cred". You know, the kind of thing that gets respect from a gang of (male) bullies.

But that wasn't enough for Matthews! No. In a subsequent Chris Matthews Show, he discarded talk of Giuliani having "street cred". Now it was - get this - "street corner cred".

Matthews is exhibit A when it comes to highlighting the shallowness of the Beltway Pundit crowd.

Street corner cred, indeed.
