Hardball Inferiority

Wonder what my friend PK has to say about this terrific profile of fellow LaSalle High grad Chris Matthews and the “help” the Hardball host offered or didn’t offer to the up and coming reporter when he first got to Washington?

 

Regardless, this line in particular caught my attention about our shared native city. “Matthews fashions himself a blend of big-think historian and little-guy populist. Steve Capus, the president of NBC News, who is also from Philadelphia, says that Matthews has internalized the ‘inferiority complex’ of his native city.”
