Tweeties Gone Wild

Oh my God. Chris Matthews just destroyed Republican congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) on Hardball. The congressman was on as a McCain surrogate, and wow. Matthews excoriated the guy for basically, as Matthews put it, trying to change uniform mid ballgame (echoing Jackie's point in the post below). I.e., trying to claim that McCain and company aren't really Republicans, so they're not responsible for the state of the economy. Wow. Then he lectured the guy about why George Bush hasn't gone on TV to reassure the nation about the economic situation. Cantor refused to embrace and defend Bush. It was wild. It was the way Hardball and other shows used to be. They actually held their guests responsible for their BS. The above video is only 4 minutes of a 15 minute segment.
