Or so they think.
From MSNBC's Hardball newsletter:
"Folks you know I don't often make the "pop the popcorn, break out the TV tray" call but tonight is one such night...Elvis is back on the campaign trail and we're on the case...Bill Clinton headlines a rally at Love Park in Philly and we're sending the city's native son Chris there to bring you the sights, the sounds and yes, the smells of it all...
"And what trip to Philly would be complete without a chat with Eddie Rendell, the Governor and fmr. mayor of Philly? We'll lead with hizzoner..
"Chris also talks with Philly Congressman Chaka Fattah and Dem mayor of Scranton Chris Doherty about the importance of Clinton and PA to this election...Representin' the GOP we got PA Senator Rick Santorum and Chris' bro Jim Matthews, chairman of the Montgomery County board of commissioners, which is a Philly suburb containing the main line and Conshohocken (got to give a shoutout to my peeps in da Conshy)...My wife, who is from the area and of course knows everything, tells me that Montgomery is one of four key Philly suburbs which will decide the state...So you must pay heed to Jim's words...Btw, he's a little more chilled than Chris...He doesn't do the "Hah!" thing like Chris..."
So, the big news is not that Clinton returns to the campaign trail - it's that
Chris Matthews was there! It's not that Kerry drew 100,000 people on a workday - it's that Chris Matthews blessed Philadelphia with His Presence.
These fat lazy corrupt media fucks really do think it's all about them.
