On Tuesday night, Chris "Tweety" Matthews, the man you love to hate, went on the attack against Barack Obama supporter Sen. Kirk Watson (D-TX), demanding that he list some of Obama's accomplishments as a senator. Watson was caught flat-footed, and came across looking like an underprepared lightweight.

The exchange was awkward and uncomfortable, yes, but it was also different from most talking head interviews in one important respect: It was adversarial. It wasn't petty squabbling over talking points or, even worse, the fawning, drooling praise we usually hear from Matthews and his ilk.
In that vein, here are just some of the adversarial exchanges I would like to see Matthews have in the future:

Matthews: Mr. Huckabee, you are a Young Earth Creationist, and Arkansas received a "D" in science and an "F" in evolution under your governorship. What the fuck's wrong with you?

Huckabee: Excuse me?

Matthews: You heard me. Say hello to the new Tweety, baby!

Matthews: Mr. McCain...where to start? Just before the New Hampshire primary, you secured a loan by pledging to seek Federal Funds after the fact, if your fund raising efforts came up short. I want you to say, "That's how taxpayers want their money spent." I want you to say that right now.

McCain: Chris, that's a very complicated issue.

Matthews: Tweety's been drinking and he wants some answers!

Matthews: Mrs. Clinton. You have received a lot of scrutiny over the years, but I have to ask: voting to classify the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization? Come on!

Clinton: That vote needs to be put in context, Chris--

Matthews: That was really [string of expletives until commercial break].

Matthews: Mr. Obama, many progressives prefer Hilary Clinton's healthcare plan to yours, claiming that it comes closer to attaining universal coverage.

Obama: Yes.

Matthews: Okay.
