For those who didn’t catch it, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews dropped the ball when interviewing Texas Gov. Rick Perry when asking about the Astrodome, which was being used to temporarily house people displaced by Hurricane Katrina.
This comes from The Political Teen:
MATTHEWS: Small point, I don’t mean to be whimsical but at this time it wouldn’t hurt for a little whimsy. How did you get the Astros out of their ballpark?
GOV. PERRY: Well they’re playing at a place called Minutemaid, not the Astrodome.
MATTHEWS: Oh really?
GOV. PERRY: Welcome to this year in baseball.
Hehe… love that last line.
