Reply #3: To be Fair (if not Balanced)

[momster]

Keith did note idly that many women in the room were wearing red, and noted that it was ironic that they'd wear a color strongly associated with 'Red States' even if they weren't from one, mentioning how well the color stands out on TV. Then Matthews took that and ran away (very ADD), riffing on everything from women's clothes -- such an expert -- to how the Democrats wound up with blue, saying something about how that surprised him because it's supposed to be people's favorite color. He might have said 'Americans' favorite color' but I'm paraphrasing. He went on for about 2 1/2 minutes, only shutting his yap when the Sergeant started introducing people (Supremes?)

What bugged me is that Matthews was so much more interested in what was coming out of his mouth than in what was happening. I'd *almost* rather listen to *. I was glad to see later on (after the speechifying from the Prez) that Keith started holding up his hand, leaning across the desk and saying 'wait a minute' to get past the wall of sound generated by Matthews.
