Resident establishment gasbag Chris Matthews was forced tonight (likely by the corporate suits at GE) to make an on-air apology to West Point cadets and their emotionally distressed parents because of one of his blathering on-camera boners, this one suggesting that Obama was in “the enemy camp” when he spoke Tuesday at West Point.

Ironically, exactly a week ago, resident rightwing gasbag Rush Limbaugh suggested that Obama might be “detained” when he went to West Point.

Matthews, whose verbal pratfalls are more the result of some sort of  marshmallow on the brain,  will no doubt spend the rest of 2009 on Hardball sucking up to the military — while everyone just giggles behind his back.
