And at Daily Kos (which is sounding the alarm over "Chris Matthews anti-Obama rant"), they've posted a longer version, in which Matthews details his complaints.
It's too early to tell whether he's putting on an act, but Matthews certainly sounds fed up.
(I'd say "what goes up must come down," but I wouldn't want it taken the wrong way...)
MORE: I should point out that I like Chris Matthews, and I used to watch his Hardball show when the Clintons were in office. I thought he was fair to both sides in those days, and I was very disappointed in his blatant Obamamania bias, which was not only unbecoming, but damaging to his former reputation.
If this is the old Chris Matthews coming out of the closet, I say more power to him.
He may have grown disgusted with the chorus of media sycophants.
I hope so.

Poor Chris.
Your saw the lovely apple, heard the smooth words, and ate.
That wasn't a thrill going up your leg. It was a snake.
It is too late Chris. You discarded your creditability. The snake now intends to tax away your substantial income and write your dialog.
If that fate was yours I would cheer. But, alas, it is meant for all of us.
But the trains may run on time.

He's obviously trying to replace Beck.

One3 wonders if Matthews has discovered hair growing in his palms.

I didn't have cable a lot in Clinton days, but I do remember watching him occasionally and being surprised he went after Clinton for the stuff he did instead of mentioning it to go after those prudes and meanies in the GOP the way the rest of them did.
By the time I reliably had cable again he was just an apparatchik for his chosen political party.
