Chris Matthews is worthless.
His interview with Dean was as bad as anything Sean Hannity would do- actually, its worse, because most people would understand where Hannity is coming from. Matthews is supposed to be a moderate/liberal but he's really just an establishment lackey.
The low point came when he said Dean didn't serve in the military but that Bush flew fighter jets. (Chris- he was also AWOL for 16 months and has a coke habit!!!)
I thought Dean handled himself well save for two answers:
1) The Draft.
At some point he should have pulled a Perot and said "This is a ridiculous line of questioning. Pres. Bush was AWOL from his outfit for months. Have him answer some questions and then get back to me."
2) Right To Work
I really think there is something to be said for the Dean/libertarians movement. Dean probably thinks its OK for a state to have a right to work law and isn't going to press that as President. He should just say it.
