LOL---Chris Matthews is another Democrat who shoots himself in the foot everytime he shoots off his mouth. A far-Left civil war has erupted between Matthews and lib bloggers who call him a beltway bobblehead: Obama's Nutroots Problem James Joyner \| Outside the Beltway Monday, December 1, 2008 Chris Matthews has angered the Angry Left by saying they, not the Republicans, are going to be the main obstacles to a successful early start to the Obama administration. But those kinds of issues brought really bad news to the Clinton administration - gays in the military hit them right between the eyes. They didn’t want to bring it up and it came up as the first issue. Who’s going to break it to the blogosphere? They don’t like anything that looks like a give to the right. Are they going to give him a break if he doesn’t go hard left and doesn’t do what they want? Let’s face it, you and I and the rest of the liberal blogosphere have been right more often than the Villagers that populate The Chris Matthews Show. But they’re not ready to give up their coveted place at the table, and certainly not to upstart bloggers who don’t have the decency to take them at their word any longer. So to those oh-so-wise Beltway bobbleheads, we will be the “angry left” that Obama must marginalize in order to have a successful presidency. We are the ones to not give Obama a “honeymoon period” and we will be the ones fighting him as he attempts to execute his agenda. Obama appears exceedingly unlikely to repeat Clinton’s early mistakes. While Clinton came with vastly more governing experience, he never had a fraction of Obama’s discipline. (Or, for that matter, the discipline of a hungry dog let loose in a butcher shop.) Obama’s going to cherry pick policy ideas that he thinks will work and be popular, to the consternation of Republicans and the left wing of his own party alike. To the extent he has a problem, then, it’ll be disaffected progressives who are greatly disappointed.
