The Mouse that Roared: Chris Matthews Declares War on Glenn Beck | NewsReal Blog: "In 1955, satirist Leonard Wibberly wrote a sendup of American foreign aid called, The Mouse that Roared, in which a microscopic, medieval and poverty stricken country, the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, invades the United States in order to be defeated and rebuilt like Germany and Japan. In 1959, it was released as a pretty good adaptation starring Peter Sellers.

This week, Chris Matthews declared war on Glen Beck, undoubtedly hoping Beck would respond and millions of people who don’t know Chris Matthews exists would become aware of his TV show, Hardball.

Among the ironic comments included a shot from Chris that Beck’s ratings were down a third… in other words, (if true) Beck has lost from his audience about 3 times the number of Harball’s total audience.

This would leave Beck with an audience a mere 6 times that of Matthews– about the same as ever, since Matthews suffered a drop of about a quarter, himself!"
