Last night, as Bobby Jindal began his response to Obama's speech by wandering into his opulent mansion and sitting down to read us a story, Chris Matthews was heard on-air saying "Oh, god." Today, he explained why.

Though who on earth needs an explanation? When he said "oh, god" to the hilariously tone-deaf introduction of Bobby Jindal to America, what he meant was "oh, god." It's pretty simple, right? Well he spent a couple minutes of Hardball expanding on that thought anyway.
