Don't Know Why Anyone Would Care What I Think About Matthews' Retirement, I Barely Care About It Myself - But Since You Ask

I have never been a fan of Chris Matthews.  His retirement is long overdue.  He was a rich guy's, TV executive's idea of what the common man is, I think that's what Matthews believed himself to be that too when he was, at best, a parody of it.  He was an advertising product, about as real as Uncle Ben or President Bartlett or . . . well, you get the idea.  One of the problems with it is that "common man" in that view means a right-wing, white-middle to upper class MAN.  It was the man thing that was his undoing, in the end.
