Good grief – is there a memo going around at MSNBC to promote the Navy Seals’ success on the rescue of Captain Phillips as only luck???  First Mika “Whodidshe@#$@togetsomejournalismcredentials” Brzezinski and now Chris “Thrill Boy” Matthews (or as my liberal friends call him Tweety). (via HotAir)

You know that classic saying luck is preparation meets opportunity. Well apparently Matthews has never heard that. Well, maybe he’s heard it but his pigeon-sized brain (No offense to pigeons!) is so full of other nonsense (like remembering to wet himself everytime Obama speaks) that he just didn’t have room to retain it.

Ed Morrissey makes the best point:

Todd gets it right when he notes that the SEALs and other commando units prepare constantly for just this kind of mission, and that their skills are honed to the nth degree.  That ain’t luck — it’s preparation, training, and excellent command decisions, the qualities that actually produce leaders people follow.
