Chris Matthews Admits Jon Stewart Tore Him a New One

In a preview of this week's upcoming New York Times Magazine, writer Mark Leibovich penetrates deep into the life and skull of "Hardball" host Chris "Tweety" Matthews. Of particular note was a reference to this particular interview:

Says Leibovich: "Matthews’s bombast is radically at odds with the wry, antipolitical style fashioned by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert . . . [he] told me that the interview was a painful experience. Not only did Stewart humiliate him, but the interview exposed an essential truth that people by and large don’t want to hear advice from politicians, a breed that, in many ways, has defined Matthews’s value system. 'I think Stewart was right in that he caught the drift of antipolitics.'"

Watch out, pundits to be. Jon Stewart may destroy everything you love one day.
