"I think it could be Tim Dolan of New York . . . Cardinal Dolan . . . . is a moderate and . . . ."

So said MSNBC's Matthews

Fuck you, Matthews. "Tim Dolan", indeed . . . . as if he was to your house for supper last night.

Pretentious asshole.

He is so pro-GOP he will probably replace the mitre with a plush elephant that he can wear.
