Matthews Show says Summers was right

By Lawrence B. Ebert, Esq.

In an incredible comment on the "The Chris Matthews Show" of 28 December 2008, Larry Summers (formerly Prez of Harvard) not only was mentioned as a comeback story for 2008 but also was stated to have been right in his comments about women.

Was it Howard Fineman or David Brooks? No one on the panel (including Michele Norris and Norah O'Donnell) said a thing.

See previous IPBiz posts:

If Hopkins was going to be sick in 2005, imagine her reaction to someone in 2008 saying Summers was right after all.
