Pot, kettle: Matthews criticizes Jon Stewart for doing what he did first and continues doing

SUMMARY: On Hardball, Chris Matthews noted that comedian Jon Stewart "talk[ed] about [Sen.] Barack Obama's middle name being Hussein and his last name rhyming with Osama" during the Academy Awards, and asserted of Stewart's remarks, "I mean, even that little seemingly neutral information gets into some older people's heads, and they go, 'We got a problem here.' " But, while Matthews has on several occasions criticized others for referencing Obama's middle name, Matthews himself has also used it in a political context several times.
