Chris Matthews surprisingly mellow on Times mag diss

"It's hard to measure the impact of these pieces at first glance - they have to ripen like a tomato," says Nicetown/Somerton-raised MSNBC host Chris Matthews about a New York Times Magazine piece by Mark Leibovich, out Sunday, but published yesterday online. The piece paints Matthews as a self-obsessed, immature, sexist, Clinton-hating Barack Obama supporter. We were hoping for a more fiery quote from the tough-talking political analyst, but maybe he's saving that for "Hardball."
