Boehner and Matthews - Softball

Here's an email I sent to Chris Matthews of MSNBC's Hardball yesterday...

Dear Chris,

Are you kidding me? Your ads scream that you will ask the tough questions and cut through the spin. But could you possibly suck up to Senator Boehner any more than you did today? What tough questions? All you did was flatter him. And yet he has been accused of being another Corporate gift pig, another country-club big shot who will neither reform the Republican party nor preside in any different manner than Tom Delay. His party is under seige, his presumptive leader, President Bush, is a national disaster, and all you can do is laugh and make liberal jokes. You're becoming a joke. I expect more from so-called journalists. Our liberties are under attack, our military is mired in a lie-based war, our Vice President outed a CIA operative, and the best you can do is probe whether the tax-cut policy is still a big winner for the GOP. Wanna ask a real question? Ask Boehner why his religious superstitions should trump a woman's right to control the first three months of her pregnancy. Ask why the American public should trust the Republicans after five years of constant lies. At least Wolf Blizter hasn't yet turned his show into a conservative mouthpiece. I'm starting to think you have. Shame on you.
