The Long View

Dear Mitt:

I hesitate to even mention this, because it’s really not a big deal, but on a recent episode of Hardball I engaged in some light-hearted banter with Chris Matthews. Unbeknownst to me, my studio microphone was still “hot,” as they say in the business, and while Chris and I were joking around, I may have made some comments that, when taken out of their context, may seem insulting or even derogatory to you.
