Brooks: I’m not one to talk, of course…
Matthews: You’re not overweight, not compared to him!
Brooks: And finally, you know, [Democrats have] stars running for office. They’ve got three real stars.
Matthews: OK. If we see a plummeting in the scales of Al Gore this summer, a super Slim-Fast diet, does that say this guy’s getting back in there?
