Chris just said his brother is at the convention because he's a delegate from Pa. Interesting.

1. Wonder if he's one of those "moderates" who
want the power in the wh to come back to the center?

3. I can't fault Chris for that one. Most of my relatives are flaming
Pubs. Once in a while, I send them a "stop in your tracks" email, but I truly have given up on them. Their reasons for not supporting Kerry are plain stupid, and their reasons for supporting shrub vary from being a Pub all lheir lives to the insane.

Chris can't control his relatives any better than I can.

5. Oh, I know that.
I was just very surprised by it. I would never admit on National TV that I was related to a republican. :evilgrin:

8. Jesus, I'm sick
of hearing that "have a beer" with Bush thing. What's up with that? For starters, Dubya is on the wagon, doesn't Tweety know that? Even if I didn't even know him or his politics, I don't want to have a beer with him. He strikes me like the sort of turd who would say something stupid, get a fight started and then expect you to hit the guy for him as he slinks away. No thanks, Chimpy.

4. He's been reporting during the swift boat story
that his brother and sis-in-law blame Kerry for his bro's mistreatment as a VN vet and that his bro said Kerry wasn't in Nam long enough to be a hero. This is why Chris can't figure the whole thing out IMO.

7. He's mentioned his brother several times on his show
during the SBV conversations. I've heard Chris comment that his brother was in the Navy on a swiftboat during the Vietnam war, & that, in effect, these SBV liars were including his brother when they criticized Kerry.

The fact that his brother is a Rep. delegate shouldn't reflect on Chris Matthews' stance. He's done a hell of a lot more than the rest of the lapdog media to help Kerry, & I'm appreciative of that.
