MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was seriously mulling a challenge to Senator Arlen Specter as a Democrat in 2010. In the wake of a devastating story in the New York Times Magazine which depicts Matthews as a pompous, self important, sexist asshole, Matthews told the Philadelphia Enquirer in an interview that he is not going to run according to a report by Roger Stone in his StoneZone.

In the meantime, Senator Specter’s cancer has returned and he will be treated, but few believe that that will deter him from running and winning in 2010.

   It’s not hypocrisy, but I’d sure say it’s embarrassing, especially for a Website like yours: You’ve gotten the name of the Philadelphia Inquirer wrong. The paper is the Inquirer, not the Enquirer.

   Doug: Twice wrong. The newspaper was the PHILADELPHIA EXAMINER - the towns newest newspaper - not the INQUIRER or ENQUIRED. Thanks for pointing out it is “I” before “E” except when after EXAMINER.
