NEW YORK -- MSNBC's Chris Matthews quietly uttered "Oh God" as Louisiana
Gov. Bobby Jindal prepared to give the Republican Party response to
President Barack Obama's speech to Congress.

An NBC executive, who requested anonymity because the network is still
looking into the matter, named Matthews as the one who made the live
mike slip - it was so quiet most listeners wouldn't be able to identify
the speaker.

The Huffington Post posted a link to the comment and asked viewers to
guess Wednesday who had made it: 32 percent had guessed Matthews, 35
percent said it was co-anchor Keith Olbermann, 15 percent said it was an
MSNBC camera operator and 18 percent thought it was a producer.

MSNBC had no immediate comment.

I don't understand why this is a story. MSNBC and Chris Matthews have long
abandoned any pretense of objectivity. If the guy can say what he said
below and still not be fired, still be featured as a normal anchor by MSNBC,
then the media is dead.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah, well, you know what? I want to do everything I can
to make this thing work, this new presidency work, and I think that --

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Is that your job? You just talked about being a
journalist!

MATTHEWS: Yeah, it is my job. My job is to help this country.

SCARBOROUGH: Your job is the make this presidency work?

MATTHEWS: To make this work successfully. This country needs a successful
presidency.
