Not Singing His Praises

(Fox News) - Former Hillary Clinton Deputy Communications Director Phil Singer has some words for MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews: step aside. Singer writes on his blog that if Matthews is seriously considering a run in 2010 for a Pennsylvania Senate seat, he should not be on the air: "When one of the network's most visible anchors is reported to be exploring a run for elected office, the network has an obligation to remove that person from its airwaves."

The Los Angeles Times reported last week that Matthews sat down with state Democrats to discuss the prospect of challenging five-term Republican Arlen Specter.
