Greg, who is Chris Matthews to insist that someone else is guilty of “cartoon talk”? Is anyone in political TV more of a cartoon character than Chris Matthews? Is there anyone else who clings more to cinematic analogies in his non-stop patter? Metaphorically, considering the way they talk, I’d suggest he’s like Spritle to Barack Obama’s Speed Racer.

Yes, Spritle’s partner is a monkey, Chim-Chim, a dangerous metaphor right now. Obviously, that’s the Keith Olbermann character.
