What Not to Ask Chris Matthews

Jeff Bercovici found that out the hard way that Chris Matthews didn’t use a ghostwriter on his new book, Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero.

Said Matthews: “Fuck you. Where’d you get that? Is that what you think? You think I don’t write my books?”

He adds: “I would never let anybody write something for me. Why do you think I’m like that? It’s amazing to me that you think I’m some lightweight, glib bullshit artist that has somebody do his work for him. The writing is the hard part, the composition.”
