Dan Abrams--most recently GM of MSNBC--looks at the laughably petulant and childish insinuations being made at FOXNews about Chris Matthews, moderator of last night's GOP debate.

So what is the propaganda arm of the White House to do? Suggest that Chris Matthews is too liberal to be an unbiased moderator for the Republican debate, unlike their fair and balanced Sean Hannity and Brit Hume. Be still my gag reflex.

 On CNBC's Republican debate, Matthews asked if Congress has to authorize a strategic attack on weaponry in Iran. John McCain agrees that Congress should approve, but tries to wake this crowd up a bit when he said.

McCain: I would at minimum consult with the leaders of Congress because there may come a time where you need the approval of Congress and I believe that this is a possibility that is maybe closer to reality than we are discussing tonight.

(Go to the Contact Congress box on the right side of the blog) And we all know that this will not be an attack on Iranian weaponry in its ideology. It's another Neocon fetish fulfilled that will only bring more death and destruction...
