Chris Matthews voted for GWB in 2000?! [View all]

I thought he was a longtime, old-school Dem! He worked for many Dems, including the late, great Tip O'Neil.

I can never decide if I like him or despise him. I hate his interviewing - talking-over-guests style, but I thought he was a true-blue Dem anyway and that was his redeeming quality.

Flabbergasted...idiotic vote.
