As it exists in human nature to some degree, hypocrisy is abundant in the particular area of our world that is politics. It also appears frequently in the media that covers the political world (not to exclude other types of media as well) and tonight Chris Matthews of MSNBC was trying out to be the poster child of hypocritical political pundits and/or "journalists." This is a true classic moment for Tweety.

Chris Matthews took time out of covering fake scandals and reciting GOP narratives on Monday’s Hardball to take a dig at members of the media who attended this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner:
“…It’s one thing to gather for events like this in Washington, it’s another one to laugh and applaud - to be charmed when the president puts on a little show. It’s harmless stuff, except that the people yucking it up in that scene are the people who are professionally committed to calling it when the people in power get it wrong.”
Where do I begin? When it comes to boot licking and heaping praise on some of the worst politicians, (current, former AND indicted) pundits and candidates to ever darken Washington D.C., Matthews, the Village Idiot, knows no peer.
Yeah seriously, Matthews is almost in a class by himself when it comes to bootlickers and village idiots. How does he even begin to try and look like some sort of neutral bystander to the crap that the traditional media pulls every day? Does Chris have serious cajones to broach this subject or is he just in need of some serious mental help?
