I dunno' Bill.....that's too cruel although I think Chris has an interview style that is similar to Parliament. To our Brit friends, let me explain.......

Chris Mathews is a political commentator and interviewer on MSNBC. As a personality I would describe him as frantic ADHD. He asks a question and as the guest(s) begin their answers he adds in more personal opinion or modifications to the question and as the guest begins to answer again Chris bursts in again with more of the same. This may happen as many as 5 or 6 times! You know he's probably finished when he says to the guest, "Your thoughts?"   

The guest who has been trying desperately to inject a thought is left stupefied. Many have no idea what they're supposed to answer or what Chris has been rambling on about. Some ask for the name of the truck that just ran over them. Sometimes the segment ends before any question is ever answered at all because Chris has no idea when to shut up. It can be a bit frantic and one day I'm sure Chris will blow a headpipe but I find myself somehow enjoying it.

What makes Chris happen though is passion for what he believes and what he does and sometimes when he's on a roll he likes a bulldog that simply won't give up or give in. On an episode of Morning Joe" he was not to be denied as he took on Reince Priebus, Republican Party Chairman.......A few minutes of Chris


What say ye British Brethren?   Try some Chris Mathews? Or maybe not......I think we'll keep him.
