Entranced Matthews on Dem Convention:‘Sluggers Row of Wonderful Sentiment’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Chris Matthews on Monday could barely restrain his excitement at the Democratic National Convention, declaring it a “sluggers row of wonderful sentiment.” Who did the MSNBC host love more? He could barely decide. Matthews cheered, “I think the Democrats's first night may turn out to be more successful than the Republicans's last night. I thought it had a lot of charm and happiness.” The Hardball host rhapsodized, “I just thought the whole night was a slugger's row of wonderful sentiments.” Matthews hyped the “good sportsmanship and better of Bernie Sanders.” As though he was blurbing a film review, the journalist concluded, “So overall for putting things together for what we call in politics fence mending, a ten strike, ten strike.”
