Chris Matthews Irked Over Plamegate Fizzle
TV talker Chris Matthews, who was one of several NBC News personalities hyping the Valerie Plame-Joseph Wilson scandal, sounded dumbfounded on Sunday, now that the imbroglio seems unlikely to sink White House deputy chief of staff Karl Rove's career.
"Will Karl Rove be forced to leave the White House?" Matthews asked, before protesting:
"This is unbelievable. Ten of our [12] experts at this panel think this guy is gonna make it through."

The Plamegate-obsessed host then wondered, "Is this guy so big he can't be knocked off?"
Matthews Show panelist, Newsweek reporter Howard Fineman, did his best to assure the audience that the scandal ginned up last week by his magazine hadn't laid an egg, insisting, "That vote probably proves [Rove is] going to be out soon."
When the Plamegate media hype was still intensifying on Tuesday, NBC foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell responded to completely unfounded speculation that president Bush was involved in the scandal, musing to radio host Don Imus, "How do you spell impeachment?"
But with the air coming out of the Plamegate balloon, the NBC newswer hasn't mentioned the 'I' word since.
