Chris Matthews Is Just Another Crybully
I hope MSNBC keeps Chris Matthews on the air for the rest of the campaign. While he might convince some with his paranoia, he’s far more likely to expose himself for the crybully he really is. And what he’s really protecting.

Chris Matthews likes to fart on TV. I’m not making this up. He’s done it more than once, live, on the air.
Here he is just a couple months ago, really letting one rip, not just loud but tuba-loud. Here he is again a few years ago, holding his tongue for just a beat while he fires one off.
I used to think it was stress relief — blowing off a little steam under those hot MSNBC cameras. But lately, it’s a different kind of gaseous substance emanating from Matthews’s bowels — squeaking out not through his ample rear cushion but through his mouth. And Bernie Sanders seems to be the catalyst of the tummy turmoil.
