Our art director hasn't written for us before; he just makes all the best art at DWT-- like the piece above. But this week he was moved by something MSNBC's most reprehensible anchor, Chris Matthews, said. WMX:What the hell is wrong with Chris Matthews? Does he not realize that he is soulless political weathervane… This guy has no core belief other than to insure that his fat ass stays on TV.

-by Jeffrey HearnWhen Zephyr Teachout called Kathleen Matthews a corporate lobbyist, it clearly struck a nerve. The occasion was an endorsement of Jamie Raskin, the progressive who is Matthews' chief rival for the Democratic nomination in Maryland's Eighth congressional district, by MAYDAY.US, the Super PAC dedicated to advancing campaign finance reform by attracting grassroots support to "champions of democracy" who can be counted on to lead the fight for such reform in Congress.
It's becoming harder and harder to watch MSNBC election coverage. I find myself flipping the channel whenever Chris Matthews comes on.

For example, the DCCC was quick to recruit conservative "ex"-Republican Monica Vernon for IA-01 and the DSCC was even quicker in recruiting even worse conservative "ex"-Republican Patrick Murphy in Florida.
Tuesday I blundered into putting on MSNBC before Chris Hayes' show started and the ghost of yesteryear political journalism was barking away happily. Appropriately enough, Chris Matthews' guest was Alabama racist throwback Mo Brooks who was eager to get on TV and accuse President Obama of being-- at best-- weak and, at worst, a traitor. Brooks and Matthews are from another generation, a generation where brain growth ceased many decades ago.
