Tonight on the special extended weekend version of Hardball with Chris Matthews, Chris Matthews showed that the man who made allusions to Hillary Clinton being castrating, and apologized for saying that she owed her Senate career to her husband's infidelity, is not dead.
Speaking directly to Rachel Maddow for the first time since the announcement of her new MSNBC show, he congratulated her for "snagging" a full hour for herself, and then talked about how challenging that was going to be. He then proceeded to ask her about Hillary's women supporters, and about the spouses of the Democratic ticket, commenting on their "double-date" look. Then, of course, was the discussion of Biden's work on the Violence Against Women Act, intimating that it was somehow discriminatory to single out violence against women! He tried to redeem himself by decrying the term "date-rape" but it was a pathetic attempt at a save.
