Diana Irey Gets a Hardball Smackdown

Diana Irey, the Republican sacrificial lamb put up against John Murtha, went on Hardball and got smacked down by Chris Matthews. it seems her staff faxed the MSNBC host some idiotic questions they hoped he'd put to the Congressman in his interview. My guess is they assumed he was a Faux News hack who'd willingly set aside all ethics and standards and prostitute himself to their agenda. Who'd have thunk any journalist would do such a thing? Especially Tweety? This time he stood up and smacked her down.

Would someone please take the weather vane off Chris Matthews' head? This guy swings with the prevailing wind so much he looks like a revolving door. When Republicans are strong he's in lockstep with them. As soon as the winds change he moves with them.
