Chris Matthews' shameless revisionism

Yesterday, PMSNBC's Chris Matthews once again told his viewers that he opposed the Iraq War from the beginning while lambasting those who fell for the "sales pitch," then characterized George W. Bush as someone of "limited ability." How could this same Mr. Matthews not believe that George W. Bush had "limited ability" as a potential President back when he voted for him in 2000?  If Matthews opposed the Iraq War from the beginning why did he defend the administration's case for war back in February 2003 on his show, while quietly lobbying for the firing of his network's most vocal opponent of the war, Phil Donahue? Matthews now believes that JEB! is the sane choice for the GOP in 2016. Would he vote for him, if given the opportunity?
