Wait, Tingles said something mind-numbingly stupid? Never thought I’d see the day.

Reacting to a dramatic car chase in downtown Washington, DC Thursday, MSNBC host Chris Matthews jumped at the chance to blame the events on congressional Republicans.
The low-rated cable host began his coverage of the death of a woman believed to have suffered from depression with a characteristic passive-aggressive slam against conservatives.
“The death will no doubt become an iconic tragedy in this period of government shutdown driven by the hatred of the President’s Affordable Care Act and the compulsion of his critics on the hard Right to punish him politically,” Matthews declared at the top of his Hardball program.
“Whatever mix of causes drove the woman to this day, the event is now a vivid tragedy played out in the streets of the nation’s capital,” he continued.
