Chris Matthews just called Romney a pig. ("Not that he is, but ppl who talk like that are." Or something.) #tcot #p2—

"That thing about the oceans…that thing about the planet…how narrowminded, how small and insular and piggish about this country can you be?"—

Here’s a tip for Matthews; the laughter wasn’t about climate change.
Wow, Chris Matthews is so full of shit. And so is Howard Fineman. You guys KNOW he was making fun of OBAMA'S HUBRIS.—
