matthews on the clock, jun 13th edition

following up on the 'what will heretofore obsessed chris matthews do?' sentiment earlier...
i became a little obsessive myself...how much time would chris devote to rove's essentially being cleared by patrick fitzgerald.

of the 42 minutes of hardball show content (bumpers, teases, don't count)
the ever talkative matthews naturally took up 40% of the talk time himself ~17min
with about 16 'karl rove' minutes...about as many shows devoted to rove's impending doom

other highlights, joe biden giggling about wordplay considering his past and the complete lack of david "Rove will, in fact, be indicted" shuster

note: times courtesy of the helpful multitrack stopwatch
