Matthews Tosses Softballs With Leno
Chris Matthews didn’t put Jay Leno in a full nelson. In fact, there was no wrestling — not even verbal sparring — during
Matthews appearance last night on “The Tonight Show.” But the host of “Hardball” and “The Chris Matthews Show” shared a few interesting tidbits.
— Right before his appearance he hung up with Israel’s Vice Premier Shimon Peres, who shared with Matthews that Israel would not send ground troops into Lebanon.
— When Leno asked Matthews about Newt Gingrich calling the situation in the Middle East World War III, Matthews responded: “I think Newt’s World War III.”
— Discussing President Bush dropping the S bomb over an open mic, Matthews said during the 2000 campaign, he and Bush had an interesting conversation about when both were still on the bottle.
