Poor Chris Matthews. These days, he's been relegated to the cheap seats, but once upon a time he and Keith Olbermann were the twin kings of MSNBC. They were everywhere on the network. Then, Olbermann shot his mouth off one too many times. He was fired. Matthews hung around and genuinely seemed to believe that his political messiah had arrived - until he came so unhinged that he ended up being yanked from anchoring any live political event coverage.
If you want to know just how far "Tingles" has fallen, watch the following clip.
In it, Matthews is shlubbing it in some hallway outside last night's GOP debate. A staffer for the Media Research Center approached him and asked a simple question. "How's the leg?"
"What leg?" Matthews replied.
"The leg with the thrill."
To say the least, Matthews was displeased. And the subsequent exchange was hilarious. Enjoy.
Sounds like the thrill is gone.
