The Amazing Chris Matthews


Deer, meet headlights.


I originally started playing this video in order to get a screen grab of the deer-in-the-headlights guy. But letting it play I noticed that in the entire 1:37 is taken up with Matthews' question. The guy tries to shoe-horn in a word or two but it is futile.

And listen to what Chris does. He is building, in his head, the ideal "conservative" with which to argue:



Why do conservatives have to believe all these things. Answer is, they don't. Only in your head do all these traits come together in a single person. This is why Jon Stewart was completely flummoxed by the "torture lawyer" John Yoo. Professor Yoo was not the straw monster that liberals had constructed in their heads. And his legal opinions on what constitutes torture were not sinister.
