Chris Matthews unplugged

By Libby

This is the amusing read of the morning. Media Bistro previews the NYT Sunday magazine's upcoming profile on Chris Matthews. He's just as pompous and inane in real life as he is on air. But the takeaway point is that they're paying $5 million a year for his pretentious pseudo-punditry and his contract is up in June.

Word has it NBC thinks they're paying too much for his stale stylings. Keep your fingers crossed. Maybe economics can do what years of protestations couldn't and we'll be rid of Tweety at last.
