Fast-Talking Matthews Out-Talks Fast-Talking Dean

What happens when you get two obnoxious, fast-talking East Coast guys in a debate? Well, I guess one guy has to win. Thus, the checkered flag goes to MSNBC's Chris Matthews, who must get paid by the word. Watch above as he throws questions at Howard Dean and doesn't even let him answer before he throws two or three more at him.

What is funny is that Matthews is spending so much time talking and listening to himself talk he doesn't even realize that Dean is insulting him for his obnoxious style. In the end, Dean is laughing at Matthews, who is oblivious because he is too busy talking and making comments like the "voters are crazy" (for electing Scott Brown). Matthews even made Dean look good, which is no mean feat.

I,of course, am no journalist or TV interviewer, but I do have a lot of law enforcement experience in interviewing people. What I learned is that if you really want to get information from people, you have to......listen. Chris Matthews is no listener.
