Chris Mathews got his panties in a bunch over the use of the term 'regime' to describe the Obama administration. Matthews said, "I've never seen language like this in the American press."
(Byron York)-
Matthews didn't stop there. "I never heard the word 'regime,' before, have you?" he said to NBC's Chuck Todd. "I don't even think Joe McCarthy ever called this government a 'regime.'"
Matthews is either senile or competing for the title of 'World's Biggest Hypocrite."
It appears that Matthews has suffered a major memory loss. I don't have the facilities to search for every utterance of Joe McCarthy, but a look at more recent times reveals many, many, many examples of the phrase "Bush regime." In fact, a search of the Nexis database for "Bush regime" yields 6,769 examples from January 20, 2001 to the present.
It was used 16 times in the New York Times....
