Beb is right - Matthews gets on a roll and blurts things out in a sort of free-verse style. On his daily show, he asks a question of this or that guest, and then barrels right over any attempt they might make at an answer - so as to deliver his own. After President Obama's address, Matthews was keyed-up and excited, and in complimenting the president's efforts he made that ham-fisted racial reference, from which there was no good road back out again. But I do enjoy set-piece political oratory! I saw Chris’s moment, and it made me wince, too.

He just spontaneously blurts out these disturbing offence comments. He should be retired. I can't bear to listen to politicans give speeches so I never watch SOTU addresses. On the other hand I really loved the translation of the speech given by cultureoftruth at http://moonshinepatriot.blogspot.com/2010/01/state-of-union-address-president-barack.html Chris matthews is like a guy with Tourettes.

“I am a lineman for the party
and I’ve got no defense
My lawyer’s reaching up his ass for something that makes sense.
We thought we’d tap into some wires
we thought we’d get a show on Fox
Now we’re Chicken McNuggets
When we’re not busting rocks.”
