Pa DUers! Help!!! Is this Chris Matthews' brother running for office?

[Joe Bacon]

I got an e-mail from Joe Hoeffel indicating he's running for County Commissioner in Montgomery county and his webpage talks about an incumbent Jim Matthews who is quite corrupt.

Is this Chris Matthew's brother? If so, why doesn't someone call ol Tweety out about his brother's corruption every time he says Hillary is corrupt?

Here's Hoeffel's web page:

2. THANKS!

the next time ol Tweety lies about Hillary, somebody should just rub his brother in his face.

3. hoeffel should have another go at specter.

he'd probably win this time around.

4. No argument from this corner

He could most definitely pull out a win against "Snarlen".

5. Jim is a Repukin. Tweety is a DEM. Tweety is not responsible for his brother.

6. plus Chris...

keeps trying to pressure Ed Rendell into running for president (which he ain't gonna do). He's Philly Irish Catholic, but turned out bizarrely different politically from his sell-out brother in Montco.

7. Matthews ran for Lt. Gov. on the Lynn Swann ticket for gov. last year.

No comment on Chris Matthews (if he'd let one guest answer a question without interrupting, I'd see it as a sign of the Apocalypse).

(no comment except this: Tweety's brain turned to mush after he defended Clinton (re: Lewinsky) and then Clinton confessed; Chris got pissed and he's been ultra-pissy with the Dems. ever since. The man needs a chill pill ... BAD!)
