An American Lion

When I saw this, I hooted and hollered so much, the children thought I was being attacked so they triggered the burglar alarm. After we explained to the security staff that my trigger-happy children were convinced that I was being attacked by some sort of burglar who had the power to make me laugh—don’t ask, because both of my children have their “issues”—I sat down and put this on the blog.

MATTHEWS: I don’t consider them Democrats, I consider them netroots, and they’re different. And if I see that they vote in every election or most elections, I’ll be worried. But I’m not sure that they’re regular grown-up Democrats. I think that a lot of those people are troublemakers who love to sit in the backseat and complain. They’re not interested in governing this country. They never ran for office, they’re not interested in working for somebody in public office. They get their giggles from sitting in the backseat and bitching.

This is the funniest thing Matthews has said in better than a decade of being useless.
