Chris Matthews, last night at about 42 minutes after the hour, played a clip of Bobby Jindal from Meet the Press where Jindal was criticizing the proposed high-speed train from Southern California to Vegas. Jindal, in the segment, called it a train from Disneyland to Las Vegas.

Well, Matthews unleashed a string of insults at Jindal for the statement.

MATTHEWS: Well I gotta tell ya Governor Rendell that’s cartoon talk by, by Jindal. Nobody is talking about a train or a light rail from Disney World. They’re talking about Los Angeles connecting with one of the great places to spend money out there in Vegas. Why he says Disney World, Disneyland is obviously just an attempt to make fun of the whole thing. That’s stupid talk. Any way, your thoughts.

Actually, the stupid talk is from Matthews. Jindal is correct. The proposal is to put the end of the line in Anaheim, home to Disneyland. Anaheim is a natural destination as it’s home to tourism spots like Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and Anaheim Stadium. Anaheim is proposing a transit hub of sorts and many in California think some of the stimulus money will find its way to the Anaheim hub with the hope that train service is then built running north to Los Angeles (and eventually San Francisco), and east to Las Vegas.

(The station in Anaheim is 2.5 miles from Disney)

UPDATE: Media Matters has the video, but no comment on the truthfulness of the statement. Classy.
