But because he's been a damn good President under extreme circumstances. Oh...and the fact that he can sing and tell a joke pretty well is just the cherry on top.

I'd bet my bottom dollar Tweety is being influenced by the Newsroom--a show his own son has appeared

I've watched Hardball fairly regularly for many years. He's always been this way.

I think that Chris Mathews is taking a cue from the show on HBO that his son is on, The Network.
