This Coming Friday At The Matthews Home (John)
I've got to get ready to go in to the studio, honey. This is the big day!
How many indictments do you think are coming down, honey? Two? Three? You think there will be three? I checked the Matthews Meter the other day, they said there would be three. Can you believe that? Three!
Who do you think is going down, honey? That's slang for "indicted", you know. You always hear these criminal types, especially the white collar criminal types, saying that.
They'll say "Who's going down," or "What's he going down for," or "How long is he going down for?"
What? No, I'm not hanging around with criminals! I don't know, maybe I heard it in a movie.
Maybe it was in The Godfather. Remember that movie, honey? Man, that was a great movie. Marlon Brando.
Remember that line, "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes"? What a great line. Why doesn't anyone write lines like that any more? Do you think all the great lines have just been used already?
Maybe I can work that into my monologue on the Sunday show. "Sleeps with the fishes."
Can we have fish sticks for dinner tonight, honey?
Who do you think it'll be, honey? Libby? Do you think they'll indict Libby? What about Rove? Oh! What about Cheney? Do you think Cheney knew? Will they indict Cheney? It could happen, right?
What if - and this is just a theory, mind you - what if this all leads to Bush? Oh. My. God. This could lead all the way to Bush, honey. And I've been all over this story! Well, me and Keith Olbermann, but come on, that guy's a joke.
God, I'm excited! Does it show?
Related: No news is...well, it's no news.
Chris Matthews, the long lost son of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.
But Booby used to be known as The Weasel, that seems appropo her.

See, I wasn't going to tell anyone I found your high school yearbook picture, then you go and make a crack like that.

I'm glad I don't have to sit in Chris Matthews' chair at the MSNBC studios. Ewwww! Talk about warming the chair up for you.
