Chris Matthews' double-standard: makes Obama references like those he criticized from Kerrey

SUMMARY: On Morning Joe, Chris Matthews speculated on how the world would react to a win by Sen. Barack Obama in the Iowa caucuses: "I tell you, it's going to be a headline all over the world: 'Barack Hussein Obama wins first presidential test in America with a Kenyan father.' " Matthews went on to say, "I just think it's absolutely -- with an Islamic background in his family -- is so dramatic." Matthews used Obama's middle name and referred to "an Islamic background in his family" despite his criticism of former Sen. Bob Kerrey two weeks earlier for making similar comments.
