Sometimes Chris Matthews is an idiot and you have to wonder what alternate universe he inhabits. [View all]
Like, for instance, this evening when he was trying to make great history out of the President having lunch with Romney. Chris was aghast that Romney had to open his own car door and that there was no Secret Service with him. Chris, the man LOST his bid and he was invited to the WH as a private citizen. He is not the leader of another nation nor is he even more that nominal head of his own party, which is now a regional party. Get a grip and stop romanticizing events. There was nothing grand about Romney when he conceded. He did so that night after having the hubris to show up fully believing that the office was his no matter what. He said the only thing he could at the time. He lost and was not prepared for it. Do you really think that Romney would have been so gracious had he been the winner? There is nothing more to this event than that we, as a nation, have an elected an extremely decent person to the office who knows how to show grace in the face of adversity.
PS. Please, spend a little less time with Fineman. You don't do anything for each other when bloviating together.
