That’s in jest. More seriously, he says, “It’s not that I’m coming in to rescue it. It’s the standard for political shows.

I've written to them all, as well as signing a petition from Emily's list, etc. You made this easy, and I was able to cover far more ground. No question we must object to the junk trash talk that masquerades as news to feed the 24/7 news cycle mania. But the lack of impulse control I witnessed was scary, and it didn't have that much to do with Clinton. So I thank you again for letting us all do something other than complain to each other.

We know he has poor impulse control, and his emphasis on "looks" and the humiliating remarks aimed at women are indications of his self loathing and narcissism. He can't stop shrieking and acting out, but no one is stopping him. Matthews is probably impotent.
