Posthumous Slam
 

How was GQ's Tom Carson's supposed to know Tim Russert was going to die this month? Perhaps if he had 20/20 foresight, he might not have taken down the late Meet The Press moderator while laying some smack on Chris Matthews.

All the same, Matthews's thirst for fanhood is his most engaging quality. He's the only cable-news heavyweight who's defined by what he loves instead of what he hates. SNL, which should have bigger fish to fry — namely, Tim Russert, a far more egregious Beltway clown — never tires of spoofing his egomania, but that's misleading. Ego is purposeful. What Chris has is the spontaneous narcissism of a child.
