19. Tweety sometimes gets lost

in his own narrative. I voted for Gore, but with reluctance and I remember thinking, as I watched the Towers come down, that "perhaps it is better to have a cowboy in the WH at this time" As to April 9, 2003 when Saddam's statute was knocked down...well, it was another year and a half before we learned there were no WMDs in Iraq. Frankly, Matthews is no better or worse than any of us....he is neither omniscient nor prescient so he sometimes gets it wrong. He believed the country was center/right and has come to see it is center/left...he learns, he grows that's more than some.
