Radio Blogger has an interview up between Chris Matthews of Hardball and US Rep Peter King. He scores the interview like a prize fight, dividing up the interview into four mp3 clips.
Peter King scores the KO in the fourth round; smelling salts cannot revive Matthews:
Chris, you won't give me a chance to answer the questions. Just because the president doesn't watch you on television, it doesn't mean he's not doing his job. You know, Franklin Roosevelt wasn't hired to listen to radio accounts of D-Day. You're hired to do the job, and the president can do his job without having to listen to Chris Matthews or Andrea Mitchell or Tim Russert, or any of the others. He is doing his job. Now I agree the military should have been brought in sooner, but that was primarily the fault of the local government not being more responsive, and then the president did the best he could. Could he have been there a few hours earlier? Perhaps. But nowhere near the criticism he's getting from you people.
Yeeeeaaaarrrrgghhh!
