Related post at NewsBusters | Chris Matthews was back at the helm of Hardball today after a week's vacation, and, fortuitously for him, the very same day his bête noire, Ted Cruz, announced for president before a supportive crowd at Liberty University. From start to finish, Matthews did not disappoint his audience, spewing out hateful invective about the junior senator from Texas, rehashing his tired talking points comparing Cruz to Joe McCarthy

As icing on the crazy cake, Matthews capped it all off with a "Let Me Finish" commentary in which lamented the GOP going too far-right for its, and ultimately the country's good. This is a video montage of the lowlights.
