I agree about Rachel. Her lengthy introductions are irritating.

Mathews' tendency to answer his own questions and his habit of interrupting before the gust got out their first words also grew old. He earned his old nickname, "Tweety".

I consider him a shoo in for first year of eligibility induction into the Obtuse Questioner Hall-of-Fame

He could pull from his ass the most bizarre topics for comment and pose, (with gravitas) the same to a completely inappropriate interlocutor, ending with a triumphant flourish!

Made me think about how I always got more out of a hour watching his show than days spent on the frigging early 2000's blogosphere. Even though I was against the Iraq invasion from the start and he wasn't. During the Clinton impeachment, similar situation tho no blogosphere, I was a Bill Clinton fan and he most clearly wasn't, but his was the best show to watch on the day's developments. Most clearly not "Roberta on Facebook."

Don't really agree with your glee, though, I'll miss him, before the internet he was one of the few with intelligent analysis and great insight into political games. Plus he didn't do the frigging celeb model of lecturing a whole hour or more (talking about you Rachel Maddow, wasn't me that wanted a frigging liberal version of Rush Limbaugh, can only stand 10 mins. of your shtick, no more) he had intelligent guests, well chosen, viciously challenged any talking heads when he knew they were spinning talking points, tried to get the real skinny. Wasn't there to sell any p.o.v., was there to get guests' honest input.

BUT way way past his prime! 74 years old! Basically: been missing him for a couple years now, not all there anymore! Time to retire: correct choice, done pretty well given the circumstances. Didn't bother making a big drama about having to get fired, don't fight the accusations, recognize the change in the zeitgeist and realize you don't belong anymore. Good exit, actually.
