Yeah, and Bawney Fwank is “slightly” gay.

ELDER: Chris, first do you still feel as a journalist, it is your job to help Obama succeed?
MATTHEWS: Well, I certainly feel it is my job to help any new president succeed and I said that. And I think it was true when I wrote it for Bush in 2000 with hopes that he would do well until he made some decisions I couldn’t live with and when that comes with Obama, I will break with him. So far he has done what I think he should, but he hasn’t been the leader I think he should be but he’s made the decisions I think I would make.
ELDER: Do you consider yourself a journalist?
MATTHEWS: Yeah, I’m a journalist. I’m a columnist. I’m a commentator.
ELDER: No, no a journalist — you think you’re an objective down-the-middle journalist?
MATTHEWS: No, I’m not down the middle. I’m slightly to the left.
ELDER: Slightly to the left?
MATTHEWS: I’d say 40-yard line.
