Hardball's new roundtable: 4 conservatives, no liberals


Further proof of Chris Matthews' lurch to the right, Hardball has announced a new panel discussion at the end of the show. Who's on the panel? Chris Matthews, himself a conservative, and three other far-right conservatives: former conservative Republican congressman Joe Scarborough (Scarborough, like Matthews, has compared patriotic Americans to Osama); former Crossfire conservative host Tucker Carlson (who also compared us to Osama); and former FOX News host Rita Cosby, herself a massive conservative who worked at the GOP-mouthpiece news service.

What about this panel is even vaguely objective and journalistic when you have 4 conservatives and no liberals? Nothing.
