[conus]

Just out of morbid curiousity I watched Chris Mathews during the conventions. I chose his show since he's generally considered to lean toward the side of the Democrats. What I saw was Chris Mathews shouting accusations at any Democratic representative who showed up. Okay, I thought at first. He's just playing devil's advocate. But he didn't stop, and when the Republican convention rolled around he seemed as awestruck and gullible as a 12-year-old boy at Michael Jackson's Neverland.
