Opposite Day

Ever see a kid play "opposite day" and tease others by calling them beautiful?
Chris Matthews hasn't grown up.

Either that or he left his audio copy of 1984 running in a continuous loop while he slept.

Matthews is in a panic over the improving Iraq situation. Things look so good he is going through machinations to redefine victory; in his parallel universe World War II is now a loss and and Vietnam a victory. It's the only way he can ensure Iraq is tallied a loss.

In Matthews dictionary "a defeat is you can‘t leave."

Iraq is in good company:
  • New Orleans (War of 1812)
  • California (Mexican War - though it is still a toss-up)
  • South Carolina (Civil War)
  • Philippines/Puerto Rico (Spanish American War)
  • Germany (WWII)
  • Korea (do I have to spell it out?)
War's where we left:
  • Vietnam
  • Grenada... this must be the one Matthews remembered!
