Politics & Pundits: Congressman Steve Israel with Chris Matthews

We always knew Rep. Steve Israel had a funny side, but last December he “revealed his inner Jon Stewart,” according to the New York Daily News, with his novel The Global War on Morris.

A Buckleyesque satire on the Bush Cheney era, it’s now in development for a comedy series for cable. Israel is joined by MSNBC host Chris Matthews to discuss the absurdities of Washington—as only insiders like these two can.

Chris Matthews is the host of MSNBC’s “Hardball” and the author of the Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked. His most recent bestseller is Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero, which spent three months on the New York Times bestseller list. He is also the author of Hardball; Kennedy and Nixon; Now, Let Me Tell You What I Really Think; and American: Beyond Our Grandest Notion.

The Funny People series is endowed by Buddy Teich.
