He said what?

From the Fair and Balanced Department: MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was on the defensive after being caught on an open mike quietly uttering “Oh God” as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal prepared to give the Republican Party’s response to President Barack Obama’s speech to Congress.

Jindal obviously doesn’t cause a tingle to run up and down Matthews’ leg, as the cable network personality once confessed after an Obama speech. NBC says it will investigate.

The best come-back on Matthews’ apparent gaffe was on the New Orleans Times-Picayune Web site, where one post noted that Matthews makes the same remark about Obama, but in a completely different context.
