Perhaps the best line from Barack Obama’s Hardball appearance yesterday came after (the notoriously Obamaphilic) Chris Matthews asked the candidate a very Chris Matthews-esque question:
“At any time in this campaign, did you have a chuckle that you just couldn’t get rid of, something weird that happened, it was so crazy that you just went to bed laughing about it?”
“Well, I think that that happens once a day,” Obama deadpanned. “…But then I stopped watching cable news.”
