Matthews was not hosting, Smerconish was.
Chris is taking the 4th of July off.
Hey, I used to barely tolerate Matthews as too extremist, now I see him as strictly middle of the road. Rev Al is on after him, just a shade too radical for me, but I like his style. Rachel Maddow at 9pm is just about in my goldilocks zone. She and Chris Hayes are my favorites.
Either they are trending right, or I've just quit making excuses for the right. Every day MSNBC sounds more and more moderate compared to the smegma coming out of Fox.
I have a feeling you haven't noticed at all.
