Chris Matthews Gets it Back

I love it. Michael Wolff is telling Chris Matthews that despite Chris' claims otherwise, Chris was as gung-ho about the Iraq war and the WMD issue as anyone, while Matthews insists that he was the war's biggest critic.

The truth, as it often does, lies somewhere between the two extremes although Wolff is more correct. Matthews did make some moans about the war until it was launched, and then he seemed to jump onboard. Once the war began to go badly, and the WMD weren't found, etc. Matthews' criticism jumped ahead again.

This isn't extraordinary for Chris Matthews. He loves to say he's right and loves it even more when people tell him that he is. He's claimed before that he was completely right when he certainly was not. But... well, life goes on.

Good for Wolff for calling him on it, and good for Matthews for not 100% buying Bush's motives for war.
