As originally blogged here, MSNBC have finally got around to publishing the transcript of last Friday's Hardball, in which host Chris Matthews asked John McCain's 95-year-old mother Roberta why her "husband" was running for president.
It's good to see that Hardball resisted the temptation to tamper with the transcript - note the (sic):
Chris Matthews: We're back with Senator John McCain, out on the campaign trail with his mother, Roberta McCain. Mrs McCain, what do you think drives your husband (sic), why he tries so hard to lead the country?
Roberta McCain: Are you speaking of my son or my husband?
Matthews: I'm talking to you, Mrs McCain.
John McCain: She's talking about me.
Hmm. As I recall, Senator McCain whispered to his mother, "He's talking about me." But that's what the transcript says.
