Chris Mathews, yes that Chris Mathews of MSNBC and "trickle up the leg" fame wrote a book, "Tip and the Gipper". Mr. Mathews was a prominent member of the Speaker Tip O'Neil's staff, He apparently had full access to most of the manoeuvrings between the Speaker and President Reagan. Mr. Mathews and I bat from opposite sides of plate. I expected another nasty rant with name calling and disparaging remarks of the kind typical of progressives discussing their opposition. His story telling has very little of that. I must say, at the expense of maybe annoying him, it was fair and balanced.
