MSNBC hosts are digging themselves a deep hole this morning while discussing the Republican primaries. I didn't see it, but Chris Matthews was on The Tonight Show last night, where he attempted to clarify remarks he made about Hillary Clinton. Those comments got Matthews in trouble with Media Matters.
But during his appearance, Matthews went off on the Republicans, saying it's like the situation in Iraq. He said Huckabee is like a Sunni, McCain and Giuliani are Shiites and Romney is like a Kurd. Forgive Matthews, he can't help himself.
Well this morning, Joe Scarborough and David Shuster were discussing Matthews' unfortunate analogy when Shuster suggested that Ron Paul is the al Qaeda in the race.
Moments like this are why 24-hour news stations are a bad idea. I have a feeling this one will be on youtube before too long.
