"Shit!" (UPDATED)

"Oh fuck, I said 'shit!'"

You read it here first. Now Lardball is live in its second broadcast of the day (instead of a rerun of the 1700 ET hour) & Chris Matthews was so excited about this "breaking news" he said "shit," right there live on MSNBC, not knowing his mic was on. (It was about two seconds to air, he should have known better.) And then he had to excuse himself on the air. Ha ha.

Oh, the breaking news? New York City's actual, currently serving mayor, Michael Bloomberg, changed his party registration from R to Unaffiliated. Wow. He may actually be thinking about making a move to think about running. Let's all wet our pants. If he is running, though, he may not wallow in optimism. He's certainly not-running, as he visits one of California's neo-fascist corporate monoliths to bloviate. (Full Disclosure: Said "neo-fascist corporate monolith" makes Just Another Blog possible/necessary.)

And here's the AP via MSNBC.

UPDATE: Mr. Matthews earlier in the day. (Updated very early p. m.)

UPDATE #2: I finally caught up to Crooks & Liars, who caught up to Chris M. about 2016. (Updated 20 June, very, very early.)

FINAL UPDATE: Mr. Matthews wasn't "so excited" that he said that word, he was angry that it was a bullshit (Oh no, now we said it, too!) story & the producers were hyping it w/o much to go on/anything significant at all having happened. Perfectly reasonable use of the word, but Just Another Blog (Fm L. A.)™ was listening out of the corner of its ear, and caught it out of context. Just Another Blog™ is of a generation that is still occasionally distracted by hearing some of those words from the telebision, and w/ basic cable, we're just not expecting "shit" from MSNBC in the middle of the day. Our apologies if anyone actually read this. (20 June @ 0647)
