Chris Matthews' latest problem with race: MSNBC personality suggests blacks, college grads aren't "regular people"

Earlier this week, obsessing over Barack Obama’s bowling excursion, Chris Matthews told MSNBC political analyst Michelle Bernard, “You know, Michelle — and this gets very ethnic, but the fact that he’s good at basketball doesn’t surprise anybody, but the fact that he’s that terrible at bowling does make you wonder.” It was, of course, an incredibly odd thing to say -- it certainly sounded as if Matthews, while getting “ethnic,” believes black people are necessarily good at basketball. With this one under his belt, Matthews decided to dabble in some more bizarre racial talk again yesterday, suggesting only whites with high school diplomas qualify as “regular people.”

And the o.p.'s link has another one of those Eternal Questions (like the original question, "How can ANY minority-- Hispanic, Gay, Black-- EVER be a Rethug?"), this one being, "How does this guy stay on the air?"

2. Damn

That guy's got some serious issues.

Either that, or he gets a bonus every time he says something totally-off-the-deep-end stupid.

According to Chris Matthews, there's something wrong with me. Should I also run for President?
