avocado8: And THAT'S How You Play Hardball

And THAT'S How You Play Hardball

I was listening to MSNBC yesterday, as I often do while working, when this crazy shouting match erupted on Hardball. I ran into the other room to watch, and then ran back to my computer afterwards to Twitter what I'd seen. Of course, Twitter was down right then, so I pinged my friend Kristin and gave a breathless account of the exchange between Chris Matthews and Kevin James over IM.

Just now, Kristin sent me this link to a thinkprogress.org writeup of the incident. (There's also a video clip.) It's painful to watch, but fascinating. Moral of the story: Know your facts, not just your soundbites.

Thnaks for the link. I can't bear listening myself these days, so it's always a good thing (as Martha would say) when someone does it for me.

OMG...I recorded Hardball yesterday and forgot to watch it. Painful to watch, yes...ouch, but what an idiot!
