[See NewsBusters for more.] Before polls closed on Election Day, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews had already vomited a bewildering story. Talking about how candidates spend the early part of elections nights, Matthews related, “Jack Kennedy did this, Ben Bradlee. His buddy, they went up to see a porn movie.” Now, Bradlee was the longtime editor of the liberal Washington Post. Mentioning porn on MSNBC seemed to shock his co-hosts. Rachel Maddow blurted, “What???... They went to, like, a porn theater?” An even-keeled Matthews continued, “Oh, yeah. During the West Virginia [primary in 1960].”
