Michael,

I do not agree that CM is salvageable, but he probably should get more credit than anyone else for questioning, even before the Iraq War, the claims of the administration about the war.

Did he do enough? No. Did he take an adversarial stance "Show me some evidence, administration, or back on down!"? No. But he did openly wonder and doubt.

Bob Somerby makes that clear, too.

I sincerely believe 98% of the credit for stringing up Matthews this way (he's surely awful) goes to Bob Somerby of the Daily Howler.

This article, from November 16th not only points out Matthew's "hate her" line but also goes into how Matthews described it when a person asked McCain how to stop the "b*tch"

This is a profile of Matthews, in three parts, from the week before, which goes specifically in depth on Matthew's sexism:

November 12th
November 13th
November 14th

The Howler may not cover a whole lot of topics (mostly it is the inanity of, in his words "our national press corps" (a phrase he's used at least since 2002, quite often, and perhaps, long before that, a play on a phrase from two centuries ago, perhaps?)) but I have never found him to be wrong.
