Off Guard

Harry Shearer has put up a video clip of Chris Matthews (of MSNBC) chatting with Tom DeLay chatting during a commercial break, unaware they could be seen or heard. It's fascinating how Matthews has managed to become simultaneously disliked by Conservatives because he keeps talking about how bad things are for Bush, and disliked by Liberals because he keeps claiming that America really likes Bush. In the clip Shearer snagged — I'm guessing off a satellite feed of raw MSNBC cameras — Matthews is too, too grateful to DeLay for letting him break the story about the Hammer's abdication.
