Chris Matthews ? ? That guy is beyond biased. For him it's a

ratings on cable.************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************ On Jul 23, 11:36 am, dick thompson <[email protected]> wrote: > Print Page <javascript:printPage();> | Forward Page > <http://www.newsmax.com/forward_page/> | E-mail Us > <http://www.newsmax.com/contact/editorial/> > > Chris Matthews Wrong on Obama Birth Certificate > > Wednesday, July 22, 2009 6:33 PM > > *By:* Jim Meyers Article Font Size > <javascript:setActiveStyleSheet('default');> > <javascript:setActiveStyleSheet('largeFont');> > > MSNBC's Chris Matthews got into a heated exchange with a congressman on > his show Tuesday as he revisited the question of President Barack > Obama's birth certificate --- or lack of one. > > Rep.
