December 13th, 2007 8:35 AM
Claiming that someone is less popular than venereal disease is a quintessential hit below the belt. So if you were counseling a candidate to hit her opponent above the belt, the last person you'd suggest she hire is a guy who just compared someone to an STD . . . unless you're Chris Matthews.Matthews's advice to Hillary Clinton is to hit Obama above the belt . . . by bringing in Paul Begala, the…
