Raising the Dead for Political Purposes

I thought that James Lipton was dead.  Apparently not.  Chris Matthews had him on "HARDBALL", not a whisp of hair, head or beard not dyed jet black.  He pronounced in his best Shakespearean intonation that the 10.3.2012 debate was a victory speech for Romney and a concession speech for Obama.

He said that the last two minutes of the debates sealed the impression for the audience.

I wonder if they has to prop him up for the interview?
