MSNBC’s Chris Matthews lost it today on “The Don Imus Show” and started ranting about how he was “against this bulls**t war from the beginning.”

I argue in the upcoming issue (available for NRD subscribers on Friday) that there are some people we need to stop taking seriously because they bought all the bulls**t conspiracy theories about Karl Rove and Scooter Libby and the “outing” of Valerie Plame. As you might expect, Matthews appears near the top of the list for making comments like this:

One night Matthews suggested that, “like the Menendez brothers” Cheney and Libby could have “cooked their evidence ahead of time” to hide Cheney’s involvement. When a guest balked at Matthews’s grisly comparison of Cheney and Libby to two brothers who murdered their parents, Matthews added “I mean, nobody’s here guilty of murder unless you count the war itself and you want to get big-time about it.”

Subscribers can read the rest here tomorrow.
