UPDATE: ThinkProgress now has the video up.
Just watching tonight's Hardball (I just have this strange nagging curiosity about the advertisers) and the lead-in to a commercial shows a segment of a hard-hitting upcoming interview Chris Matthews is doing with former House Majority Leader Tom Delay:
Americana sounding music softly plays in the background (I'm not making this up). Matthews and Delay are standing in front of a typical "Wonder Years" suburban Texas home where identical houses line the entire block. Cue Chris Matthews, who in a soft-spoken seductive voice asks Delay very very slowly...
MATTHEWS: Okay I gotta ask you a cosmic question. Tom Delay, you're not in this business for the money. You live modestly. You commute back and forth from Washington to Houston, Texas. Why? What drives you every day?
DELAY: What I believe in, the Constitution of the United States, Ronald Reagan got me involved in this, I fight every day for what I believe in...
