Rep. King Tells Matthews it's Not the President's Job to Watch TV

September 27th, 2005 6:26 PM

This was on the second segment on last night's Hardball with Chris Matthews. Rep. King mowed Chris over once again:

KING: Chris you want me to answer the question. Just because the President doesn't watch you on television doesn't mean he's not doing his job. Franklin Roosevelt wasn't hired to listen to radio accounts of D-Day. You're hired to do the job and the President can do his job without having to listen to Chris Matthews or Andrea Mitchell or Tim Russert or any of the others. He is doing his job.
