Chris Matthews engages in a little truth telling, speaking to GOP chairman Reince Priebus this morning on Morning Joe: "Everybody knows what game your playing: it's a race card." Romney's birth certificate joke was "awful," Matthews said and his welfare attacks are "dishonest."

Priebus's comeback? To echo Mitt Romney and say Matthews needs to learn how to take a joke. Matthews then asked Priebus to explain the joke. Matthews then asked Priebus to explain the joke. He didn't get an answer, because the explanation is obvious.
