What about Barack?
The boys over at Stop the ACLU had a great clip of Presidential candidate Duncan Hunter showing up unannounced for Morning Joe, and taking jabs at the media who have pretty much ignored his candidacy (yet another case of the media deciding who’s coverage worthy; see yesterday’s story about Fox News and Ron Paul).
Watch the clip… The whole thing is entertaining as Chris Matthews stews like dinner in a crockpot, but take a good listen because at around 1:06, Chris Matthews summarizes his agitation with Duncan Hunter brilliantly.
No matter what the subject is, the fairy tale story is the draw.
Chris Matthews just proved it.

Remember when Elizabeth Edwards “called in” to Chris Matthews’ shows so she could yell at Ann Coulter? Chris wasn’t so upset about being hijacked then.

Well, he had an opportunity to prep the show for the call. He could have easily rejected it, but apparently he decided that it would create an interesting dynamic…he was right.
This interruption, on the other hand, is forced and awkward.
