After momentarily berating Bernie Sanders flack Tad Devine over whether the socialist candidate's prickliness when questioned about his technically being an independent, not a registered Democrat, Hardball host Chris Matthews tonight praised the Vermont senator's dovish tack on foreign policy, hailing how he would keep the U.S. out of "all those goddamn wars!"

Here's the relevant transcript and video:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: And by the way there's a lot of features of European politics that we can benefit from, like not having to fight every goddamn war in the world. You know?

TAD DEVINE: OK, we'll be happy to talk about that later tonight, Chris.

MATTHEWS: We don't have to be doing that. I think he's right about stuff. You know, this reason we have a big military is because we came out of a Cold War, we had to come up with other uses for our military establishment.

DEVINE: OK.

MATTHEWS: That's what I think.

DEVINE: Listen, you're on message, I'll tell you that, OK?

MATTHEWS: I tell ya, anyway, I think those are good elements to your guy.
