Matthews Doesn't Know Where Mt. Rushmore Is

Know it all Chris "Tingle" Matthews seems to have played the role of a "stupid Republican" in his guest-host spot on MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell Reports when he told former North Dakota governor John Hoeven that he "loved visiting your state this summer" and that he loves Mt. Rushmore, having "sat there for two hours and just looked up at it" during his trip to South Dakota over the summer. Hoeven had to remind the genius Matthews that Mt. Rushmore is in fact in South Dakota.



To be fair, anyone and everyone can make these geographical goofs once in a while (I myself playing Trivial Pursuit recently actually said that Mt. Everest was in the Rockies...don't ask) but since Matthews fancies himself the greatest mind in the geopolitical arena, mercilessly bashing Republicans like Michele Bachmann for gaffes like her having confused Concord, New Hampshire for Concord, Massachusetts or when she mistakenly claimed hat John Wayne was born in Waterloo, Iowa and at the same time not chastising President Obama for stating he "had been to 57 states," or that they actually speak German in Austria, corpsmen is pronounced "coremen" and not how it is actually spelled; Matthews hardly deserves fairness.

What a goof.
