Where is Chris? UPDATE: Nevermind UPDATEx2

I've had MSNBC on for a few hours now while I do other work and they have probably had over a dozen people on to eulogize Tim Russert. Everyone from Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams, to Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd, Barbara Walters, Pat Buchanan, Peggy Noonan and right now Melanie Bloom - widow of former NBC reporter David Bloom. Keith Olbermann has been hosting for most of this time. It's actually been quite well done.

I have a question though, is Chris Matthews on vacation? Why haven't we seen or heard from him at all this entire afternoon?

It's bizarre.

UPDATE: Apparently Chris Matthews did comment via phone from Paris and was very emotional talking about Tim. I'm glad he was able to express his feelings for Tim on this sad day. This is second hand from a friend but, if true, I'm glad to hear it.

2nd UPDATE: Looks like I wasn't the only one who noticed Matthews absence. Kathy G at the G Spot asked the same thing.
