He has no moral compass. At least he makes some really good money. That's what it's all about in DC.

Today, he will deny that he ever showed this infatuation with Shrub
or that he was gung-ho in support of the war, or that he gushed over
the Mission Accomplished stunt. I find his denial to be more offensive
than the actual man-crush he had.

When Dimson was in office, Matthews said that he had voted for Dimson twice and would do it again, if Dimson were running against the same people. He also said, "I am a lot more conservative than people think I am." During the Obama Clinton primary, Obama's speaking made a tingle run up Matthews' leg and he (Matthews) had little use for Hillary Clinton. During the Clinton Sanders' primary, Matthews behaved like an attack dog guarding Clinton. If MSNBC tells him to attack Hillary Clinton, though, he will. He'll do anything the people who pay him want him to do.

He kisses Trump's and Giuliani's ass, but then he'll vigorously defend Hillary from the Benghazi mom accusations. I never know which Chris it'll be.

Every so often he breaks character and skewers a Republican, but most of the time he's an asshole happy to undermine Democrats, and Clinton is one of his perennial favorite targets.
