All Mathews, All the time Tuesday night (sorta)…
Saturday I noted the MSNBC press release announcing the Hardball Church Tour that will be in Tennessee on Tuesday, the night of President Bush’s Iraq speech. Well MSNBC has taken what was a potential logistical headache (Mathews in Tennesse…the action in Washington D.C.) and turned it into something of an advantage by using the same TV audience for the Church Tour to be in a Town Hall meeting after the speech is over according to today’s release…
Immediately following the President’s address Chris Matthews will anchor a live Heartland Town Hall Meeting from Twin Lakes Baptist Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Matthews will gauge audience reaction to the President’s speech and have analysis from MSNBC’s Chief Washington correspondent Norah O’Donnell, MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson and Newsweek Managing Editor Jon Meacham. The town meeting will conclude at 10 p.m. ET.
Oops. The name of the church is “Two Rivers,” not “Twin Lakes.”

The Daily Howler ( http://www.dailyhowler.com/ ) had a humorous piece on Matthew’s balderdash today. They talked about his pandering, his pretense that conservatives are “more patriotic” than others–that’d be “liberals,” Mr. Rove–and his seemingly joking contention that the DNC Chair’s appearance on Wednesday would be “diversity run amuck.” Oh well. What does one expect from Chris? He attends roasts for Ben Bradlee and Sally Quinn where they, with all the other white Christian heterosexual “journalist” couples, talk about how clever and cunning they all are.
I saw it on C-SPAN after all.
