Hardball slams anti-Kerry bigshots

Chris Matthews, of MSNBC's Hardball, has taken two people to task regarding deceptions by the Bush campaign.

First, he slammed the senior stategerist of the Bush election team, Matthew Dowd, for deceptively editing an interview with John Kerry on Hardball, and using the altered clip in a Bush campaign video. See that quicktime video here. See the Hardball's commentary here.

Then, just yesterday, he slammed commentator and apparent spokesperson for the Swift Boat Vets for Truth Bush Lies, Michelle Malkin, for basically saying that John Kerry's wounds were self inflicted! See the quicktime slam here.

Chris Matthews' politics seem a bit rightward normally, I think, but it was very refreshing to see this!

UPDATE:

Now a third slam here!
