[See NewsBusters for more.] Tuesday may be the Democratic debate night, but that didn’t stop an angry Chris Matthews from trashing Marco Rubio as a “pathetic” “sock puppet.” The Hardball anchor derided conservative donor Sheldon Adelson as a “sugar daddy” who will likely endorse the Republican. Matthews sneered, “Adelson wants somebody to do his bidding in foreign policy, especially in the Middle East. He wants somebody to be his sock puppet and he's got him in this guy, this perfect little high school debater, Rubio.” Sock Puppet? High school debater?
