MSNBC host Chris "Tingle Leg" Matthews was at the University of Mississippi today and interviewed his daughter on air -- without disclosing the fact.

His excuse was that his daughter didnt want him to tell anyone that she was his daughter.

I can understand her reticence to be associated with her embarrassment of an old man.

However, this is insufficient reason for tossing journalistic standards under the bus.

I mean, would Matthews kill someone if his dog asked him to do it?

Don't answer that.
