Chris Matthews Debuts New Hairdo

MSNBC host Chris Matthews took to the airwaves Thursday night with a new 'do. The normally bleach blond Matthews, host of "Hardball," now has noticeably darker hair. It's more of a russet/rusty coloration and is a bit shorter.

Below are 4 screengrabs. The first two are from Tuesday night, the second two are from today's - Thursday's - "Hardball." They are taken from the same television and same DVR machine onto the same computer.

Pick an adjective you would use to describe the color and leave it in the comments.

lets see... a word i would use to describe it? ummmmmmm..­. stupid? how's that?

[Pegatha]

As opposed to "strawberry blonde," how about "tweetybird red?"

[DuckofDeath]

Regular guys don't color their hair.

[MsLiz]

Regular guys aren't on television daily, wearing make-up. It is a business necessity.

[kalala]

60% funny, 40% burnt sienna ego-boner

[nancy50]

Who cares?

[longislandlol]

He's "grooming" himself for a political career..

[snruB]

HE'S TRYING TO LOOK LIKE ELLEN

[LisainNYC]

How embarrassing.

But since you asked, how about "What-a-Man Tan" complete with "Thrill-up-the-Leg" highlights?

[Trueheart]

What kind of highlights???? Do tell.

[hmmmmmer]

I thought something was fishy, kind of a carpy color.

[shockmagog]

He looks more like Conan O'Bozo than Chris Matthews.

[Average]

He needed to change his brain instead of his hair color.

[mediamarv]

I would like to express my appreciation for the funny comments so far... proof that in addition to brain-addled trolls, some clever writers do visit HuffPo.

My fave: Russet or Russert!!

Instant classic! LMFAO!!!

[karmafriend]

he's getting ready for his senate run.

roflmfao

[ergoth]

he's still a pathetic waste of skin.

[PKSSK]

I don't care what color his hair is, as long as he continues to speak the truth, and so far he and Keith are doing more than the other networks.
