This is not about politics for me. This is beautiful live theater. The salient points seem to be:
- Matthews thought he could run over Kostric, and he was wrong. Kostric showed quickly that he blames both political parties for our current mess, which likely caught Matthews off-guard. Kostric then announced he was a Ron Paul supporter, which seemed to perturb Matthews even more.
To me this is much ado about nothing. Obama's secret service detail should be applauded for not over-reacting and detaining Kostric. A non-event, but loads of drama, a good discussion from Hardball, and a few expletives from Chris Matthews.
Update: I've added a short video of Ron Paul's response from MSNBC with Ed Schultz.
