"As if anyone doesn't already know this -- I love politics.

I love politicians. Most of all, I love myself. God,

I can't tell you how much I love Chris Matthews!"

Even as a young man, Chris Matthews had the crooked

grin of Two-Face. His future career as a media pundit

was assured.

Don't be a swine and pronounce Gloria's

last name, Bór-ger. It's Bor-zhér.

"When Karl Rove speaks," writes Gloria Borger, "the political

class pays attention—usually with good reason: he's a genius,

at the head of our class of subgeniuses."

David Broder has just eaten a big steaming bowl

of his debunked opinions. As you can see, the

dish doesn't agree with him.

David Broder strongly denies he lies for the money.

He says he lies because he enjoys it, and the

money is just icing on the cake.

"If you've ever wondered why I revere David Broder, it's his

work ethic--and not just his kindness, civility, judiciousness,

and institutional memory. Don't ask me what 'institutional

memory'means, because, unlike David, I'm way too lazy

to look it up."
