More On Tweezer

MATTHEWS: We�re proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who�s physical, who�s not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who�s president. Women like a guy who�s president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It�s simple. We�re not like the Brits. We don�t want an indoor prime minister type, or the Danes or the Dutch or the Italians, or a Putin. Can you imagine Putin getting elected here? We want a guy as president.

MATTHEWS: And by the way, Democrats for years have made fun of Republicans, like Ike, who defeated the Nazis and received the Nazi surrender, and Ronald Reagan, who was probably the most evocative person for the World War II generation, and this guy. They always make fun of them for being simple. And guess what? They always win two terms, and they�re always right.

Has the truth ever mattered so little to anyone?
