Didn't need to read any episodes, remember it in real time. Matthews was such a loyal bitch he even got the "honor" of sticking the shove in Phil Donohue, the only guy on cable willing to speak out in the lead up to Iraq with his infamous why do you hate America interview days before Donohue was fired. He pissed on liberals' interests and fifteen years later liberals still haven't been able to muster up the balls to say boo.
