According to an AP story over the weekend, Chris Matthews is “hot again,” thanks to his celebrated recent on-air confrontations with Michelle Malkin and Zell Miller, as well as MSNBC’s standout coverage of both conventions.
As for Michelle, she’s apparently not quite so hot- a speech she had been scheduled to deliver at American University was canceled this week when the school’s College Republicans told her to back off; I don’t normally support such PC zealotry, but her “defense of internment” arguments are so noxious –and so blatantly ahistorial- that they don’t belong at any institute of higher learning.
Sorry, but I happen to come from a people that’s sort of sensitive to the idea of innocent people being tossed into camps, against their will, on the basis of nothing but their ethnicity.
As a Republican who went to American, though never a member of the College Republicans there, I have to say this surprises me. They were rarely ones to back away from controversy; in fact, they were much more likely to court it.
