Chris Matthews whispered "Oh God" as Jindal emerged to give the Republican response (Berman Post: The Republican (Jindal's) Rebuttal) to Obama's State of the Union speech (Berman Post: Obama's First State of the Union Speech) apparently not realizing that his mic was hot (on) and live.
Most took it as a shot from a person and a network (MSNBC) that is seen as heavily bias toward Obama and the Democrats. Mathews says he was referring to the decor in the background; sure he was. Jindal was invited onto Mathews' Hardball tonight but declined.

Update:
Forgot to mention Matthews "Outsourcing" crack referring to Jindal. "Outsourcing", Jindal being of Indian decent, some took the crack as an insult or worse.
