As NewsBusters previously reported, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews devoted his entire Christmas Eve Hardball show to mercilessly attacking eleven conservatives with the assistance from a panel of some of the most conservative-hating liberals in the nation.

The folks at MSNBC must have really liked this show, for they actually reran it in its entirety Monday.

Assuming Matthews is on vacation, was there nobody available to substitute host for him?

Or did the folks at MSNBC feel that this Christmas Eve show possessed such must-see conservative-bashing that it needed to be aired again for those that might have missed it last week?
