Chris Matthews reminded everyone last night how much it must suck to have to react to things like the State of the Union address on live TV.

In what appears to be the clumsiest compliment ever recorded on live television, Chris Matthews, chatting with Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann, begins to wax lyrical about how “post racial” the president appears to him. There are several clips floating around, but the clip below, a slightly longer version, seems to provide more context for the remarks. (Of course, some might say he was trying to dig himself out from his ill-thought out turn of phrase, but I think Matthews was genuine in what he thought was praise.)

Matthews will undoubtedly not hear the end of this for a while, but do you think it was a bit of clumsy, old fashioned attitude showing through (remember, VP Joe Biden and Harry Reid have made similar poorly received comments) or something more inexcusable?

The gift that keeps on giving, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin doesn’t like them nasty bloggers, you know the ones, the ones that gossip in their pijamas!

PALIN: Early on, there are a tremendous number of examples we can give about my record and things that could have, should have so easily been corrected if the media would take it one step further and investigate it a little bit and not just gone on some blogger — probably sitting there in their parent’s basement wearing their pajamas blogging some kind of gossip or a lie.

Yeah, because Hot Air and Michelle Malkin have been really hard on Palin. MSNBC’s rising star Rachel Maddow hits back with style, and even if you don’t like her politics, if you’re a blogger you’ve got to love her for this (embed below)
