Well, at least he didn’t call him shiftless . . .
On this afternoon’s Hardball, Howard Fineman twice called RNC Chairman Michael Steele “lazy,” adding “he doesn’t work that hard.”
Now, I don’t in fact believe there was any racial overtone involved. I am explicitly not accusing Fineman of racism. But I mention the incident to illustrate [...]
Remember O. Henry’s tale, The Ransom Of Red Chief? A couple of con men kidnap a rich banker’s son. The boy turns out to be a hellion who makes the kidnappers’ lives a living hell. By the end of the story, rather than paying a ransom, the boy’s father demands money to take the rascal [...]

Oh to be a fly on the NBC cafeteria wall next time Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews run into each other. On today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough singled out Hardball as an example of the cable shows he doesn’t watch because their guests “vomit bad information” for which they’re cheered.
Scarborough slammed Bob Baer, a former CIA [...]
Is the fate of our corporations and its leaders in the hands of a president making economic decisions by opinion poll? Will CEO heads roll because of a Gallup-ian thumbs down from the angry crowd? The panel on this afternoon’s Hardball didn’t merely acknowledge that chilling possibility. Like a bloodthirsty mob on a hot Roman [...]
How is this going to go down at the White House?
According to Chris Matthews, Hillary Clinton doesn’t work for Barack Obama. He might have named her Secretary of State, but she’s not his “employee” and doesn’t see herself taking orders from him. Instead, she “thinks originally” about messages to be sent abroad, and Hillary and [...]

Here’s how Chris Matthews teased a segment with Zack Wamp, a Republican critic of Dick Cheney who’s running for Tennessee governor.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Up next, Dick Cheney was one of the most unpopular Vice-Presidents ever, but you know it’s bad for Cheney when members of his own party, fellow Republicans want to see him quieted: mugged, [...]
President Clinton and his Attorney General Janet Reno treated the 1993 WTC bombing as a mere criminal matter, not the terrorist attack it in fact was. Is President Obama slipping back into that same, dangerous, 9-10 mindset?
Something the president said during the course of his 60 Minutes interview yesterday raises a red flag on the [...]
If you want to have the secret ballot in presidential elections, OK. I mean, what does a president decide, after all? But unionization elections? They’re too important for the secret ballot. That in essence was the argument of a union official today.
Stephen Lerner of the SEIU made it on this afternoon’s Hardball . . . [...]
Yo Smerc: who’s “we”? You voted for Barack Obama . . .
But let’s leave Michael Smerconish’s presidential preferences aside and focus on the substance of his remarks. On this evening’s Hardball, Smerconish claimed that Republicans need to “dilute the influence of the conservatives in the Republican presidential nominating process, because we are nominating people who [...]

The thrill is back! Chris Matthews got a Churchillian frisson from the Obama speech–even before the president delivered it.
During the Hardball pre-game, Matthews declared this to guests Pat Buchanan and Larry O’Donnell:
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Here’s the key line, I think, though there will be others. “The day of reckoning has arrived,” this is Senator, this is [...]
