This passage from this diary by ryeland is hilarious, describing a scene during a Chris Matthews' interview of Tom DeLay today:

Matthews grilled DeLay about passages in his book where he apparently ripped into fellow corrupt Texan Dick Armey, eventually asking the Hammer about describing Armey as "drunk with ambition." DeLay denied writing that. "I wrote that he was 'blinded by his ambition.'" Matthews starts flipping though the book and finds the "drunk with ambition" quote and reads it to Bug Man. And DeLay keeps denying it. Finally, Chris hands the book to Tom and tells him to read it himself. DeLay looks down, pauses, and says "I don't have my glasses."

I still laugh when I read that paragraph, and I've re-read it like ten times. I can't wait for the transcript and video to show up.

Update: Here's the video:
