Chris Matthews Hangs Himself Out to Dry

Speaking of Tingles, I'm sure JWF won't mind if I pile on here with a hilarious clip from yesterday's "Chris Matthews Show" - an actual TV show that usually airs on Sunday mornings. Of course, it is routinely beaten in the ratings by infomercials, televangelists, and test patterns, so you've probably never seen it or even heard of it.

Watch as Matthews utterly exposes his ignorance and/or shameless partisan hackery by asserting that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was actually a closer friend to Bill Clinton than he was to George W. Bush.

Say what?

Not even Matthews' hand-picked panel of liberal sycophants could bail him out on this one. For a guy who talks politics for a living, this is a cringe-worthy display.

Chris Matthews: Let's Move On to the Issues

MSNBC unveils their latest batch of insipid "Lean Forward" spots, including this from Tingles.

Sure, it would be great if we could move on. Maybe we can start with Chris Matthews himself.


For a guy who wants to "move on" to the issues, Matthews spends an awful lot of time on so-called birthers.

If you needs some laughs, the whole menu of new spots can be seen here. The Ed Schultz ones are particularly hysterical.

Old and Busted: Forgetting Obama is Black. The New Tingle: Drinking In His "Little Boy Smile"

Of course, this isn't the first time Matthews has been unabashedly smitten by Obama's boyish, "winning" smile. It's a recurring tingle. I just had to call it "new" to fit the trusty Old and Busted headline formula.

Not surprisingly, Eugene Robinson laughs out loud takes his cue from Matthews and compares Obama's public affectations to Ronald Reagan's "head waggle."

One gets the sense that the 2012 election is going to hit these guys like a Mack truck.

Chris Matthews Laments Obama's Missed Tsunami Opportunity

According to MSNBC dolt Chris Matthews, his hero has let a good crisis go to waste.

Hundreds if not thousands of people are dead due to a devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. But at least it gave Barack Obama an avenue to remind everyone he was born in Hawaii. That's the silver lining for MSNBC's Chris Matthews.

"Was this sort of a good opportunity for the president to remind everybody that he grew up in the United States and Hawaii?"

That's a question that Chris Matthews posed to MSNBC host and White House corresondent Chuck Todd about President Obama taking a question from a Japanese reporter during a news conference earlier today at the White House.

Matthews pegged this question on the fact that there are many persons of Japanese heritage who live in the Hawaiian islands, which were themselves impacted by smaller tsunami resulting from the earthquake.

"That's the first thing I thought of," Matthews insisted. "Such a large number of people believe he grew up in [Kenya], they're buying this thing that's coming from Huckabee," Matthews insisted.

Horrific carnage like most have never before witnessed today and the first thing Chris Matthews, serious newsman, thought of was how Obama can capitalize.

Pathetic.

Deroy Murdock: Black, But Not Compelling Enough to Make Chris Matthews Forget It

Deroy Murdock is definitely going have to up his game if he wants Chris Matthews to forget what color his skin is.

Of course, by "up his game" I mean invest in a teleprompter, become a socialist, and tenaciously advocate unpopular, foolish policies.

Obama Holds Pre-SOTU Huddle With Chris Matthews & Other Select Sycophants

Expect leg tingles and racial amnesia to dominate tonight's post-SOTU media narrative.

President Obama met with several top news personalities and pundits on Tuesday before his State of the Union Address.

Per a White House pool report, the president met with the group for lunch at the White House this afternoon.

Among the figures reported to be meeting with the president were CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos from ABC, Brian Williams from NBC and Chris Matthews from MSNBC. It wasn't clear whether there were more attendees at the meeting.

The president has been known to meet with journalists occasionally for informal chats. The discussions are typically off the record, meaning that the content of Tuesday's discussion will likely remain unknown.

Age of Civility: Chris Matthews Celebrates MLK Day By Saying 'Older White People Still Have a Problem With This Guy'

This guy, of course, is the man who gives him tingles. Nice of him to call people racist on Martin Luther King Day.

Chris Matthews Asks: What Is the Cause-Effect Relationship Between Derangement and "Right-Wing Crazy Talk"?

Despite the fact that we now know quite a bit about Jared Loughner's twisted background, the nincompoops over at MSNBC continue to feign ignorance, holding out hope it would seem for some shred of evidence showing that the tea party, Sarah Palin "target" maps, and conservative talk radio made Loughner go on a murderous rampage, or something.

It is reprehensible beyond words. And yet, not surprising at all given what we know about the Left and their shamelessly dishonest cohorts in the media.

So here we have a spry and tingly Chris Matthews actually wondering out loud on national television whether deranged people like Loughner - or, you know, the people you might run into at church, in a train or bus station, or the local 7-11 - gravitate toward right-wing "crazy talk", or is it perhaps the right-wing crazy talk that turns people into psychotic murderers?

Unreal.

"And I sometimes think that if you are disturbed, you look for companionship, like you look for places you can go, like people go to churches who are deranged. People go to train stations and bus stations, they find their way to them. You see them talking to nobody. You see them at convenience stores. There's certain places that people go to, to feel comfortable when they're alienated. And my question is, do they go to perhaps listening to right-wing crazy talk (or left-wing crazy talk in different circumstances), or is it that those things lead them to be crazy?"

Rush Derangement Syndrome on Steroids

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

What do you get when you take the deranged Chris Matthews, the loony David Corn and some drooling moron from Media Matters obsessing over Rush Limbaugh?

Eight and a half minutes of pure comedy gold, my friends.

Savor the insanity and pity this crew because judging by the anemic ratings, more people are likely to see this clip here than saw it on MessNBC.

Limbaugh lives in their heads rent-free. Congratulations to Matthews for exhuming the politically extinct George Pataki to play yes man for him the other day. No further need to explain why Pataki is a political cadaver in GOP circles.

Joe Klein: Palin and Beck Are Seditious or Something

Mind-bending stupidity courtesy of Obama lapdog Joe Klein and some nitwit from New York magazine, who chimes in to add Rush Limbaugh to the list of seditious conspirators for using the word regime. Chris Matthews doesn't bother to point out he and his MSNBC co-hosts used that word plenty of times during the Bush administration, so I guess they're also guilty of sedition.

Do These MSNBC Clowns Realize They're on Tape?

I realize Chris Matthews is a bit dense, but does he even bother to think twice before going on some lame rant against Rush Limbaugh?

So much for his latest meme.

Teabagging Redneck Mentions Obama and Watermelons on National Television, Outraged Democrats Call for His Scalp

Just imagine the feigned outrage if a Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck said this. The condemnation would be so swift and calls for their job so loud it would be 24/7 news for weeks.

Then again, Dan Rather doesn't really have a job any more and the Democrats always look the other way when it comes to alleged racist comments of one of their own.

In reality this is just one of Dan Rather's silly homespun analogies that falls flat until host Chris Matthews interrupts him, which he's got a habit of doing. Funny though, how those Soros-funded "media watchdog" outfits didn't quite get around to mentioning this yesterday. Guess they're too busy defending ACORN from their latest criminal activities.

Here's what he said, via LCR:

Rather: "When you talk about a triumph though, part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama's leadership and the Republicans are making a case, a lot of independents will buy this argument, listen he just hasn't been...look at the health care bill, it was his number one priority, it took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death and a version of ...listen, he's a nice person, he's very articulate, this was going to be used against him but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

'This Guy is One Scotch Away From Being Ron Burgundy'

Twice in one week we go to Jon Stewart for some mockery of the left, in this case the idiotic Chris Matthews, a man still mysteriously employed by MSNBC. I guess being a racist asshole has its benefits.

Chris Matthews on Obama at West Point: 'He Went To, Maybe the Enemy Camp Tonight'

Hard to believe, but Tingles actually called the United State Military Academy at West Point the enemy camp. Well, actually maybe it's not all that hard to believe since to Matthews and his ilk the military is the enemy.

Kathryn Jean Lopez sends Matthews this reminder.

Chris, he's commander-in-chief.

'How Many Black People Are Watching Your Show?'

Bernie Goldberg destroys Chris Matthews and MSNBC. For good measure he smacks down Jon Stewart. The fun starts around the 3:00 mark.

Amazing that white people like Sarah Palin.

"Not that there's anything wrong with it," Mr. Tingles says.

Some background on the idiocy here.

Via Hot Air, here's the girl who was ambushed by the MSNBC twit Norah O'Donnell.

In one day I met a role model, and met the liberal media and their crafty schemes. I fell prey to liberal bias, but I’d like to think I did an okay job. We always want do-overs, and I can assure you if I had a do-over with Miss O’Donnell you’d see a much more prepared (well rested) and ready to go at it side of this 17 year old. But unlike Norah I didnt have my note cards with me. I was forced to think on the spot and answer a gotcha question. Her goal was clear, make this teenager look like an uneducated Palin supporting buffoon. To liberals, and the 5 people who watch MSNBC she succeeded. To conservatives, she was the only buffoon during that interview.

Heh.

Bob Woodward's Curious Words on Chris Matthews' Show

Today on NBC's Chris Matthews' show, Bob Woodward was one of the guests on the panel, and during the standard Q&A between Chris and the panelists, a couple of curious things came out of Woodward's mouth.

The first thing that caught my attention was when Chris played a segment of the inauguration where Obama said we "must begin again the work of remaking America." Woodward began his comments by reminding us of the "if you will unclench the fist, we will extend the hand." He says it's obvious the big difference between Obama and Bush & Cheney is that Obama is for diplomacy, but if you get right down to it, Bush and Cheney "didn't really like diplomacy."



Next, Chris asked the panel about the troubles the Obama Administration might encounter, and Woodward again caught my attention. He said he didn't think the "nanny and household tax problems" were over for this administration. Chris remarked that we already know about Tim Geithner and Caroline Kennedy, to which Woodward responded by reiterating: "I say it's not over."

Hmmm... I wonder what he could mean?

'This is Fresh Meat for That Smear Machine'

Yes, why bother examining the facts and letting the investigation play out?

Let's just start with the snide innuendo that Republicans are smearing people.

Speaking on the low-rated MSNBC shoutfest with Chris Matthews, Chicago Tribune columnist Clarence Page, who obviously should know how corrupt his hometown is, lamely tried to divert attention from Blagojobamagate by insinuating the Republicans are smearing people by even discussing the scandal which threatens to consume the Illinois Democratic Party and taint the incoming Obama administration.

What a jerk.

Number two, this is the-this is the brightest moment for Republicans since the Reverend Jeremiah Wright tapes came out. They are going to have a lot of fun with this.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: They're flashing like E.T. all of a sudden.

PAGE: Exactly.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: They're getting...

(CROSSTALK)

PAGE: They are going to have a lot of fun with this. This is fresh meat for that smear machine. But I don't think it's going to last long.

Of course it won't last long. Page and his hack cronies in the media will make sure of that. And if it does last any amount of time, it'll simply give him and others more fodder to claim Republicans are smearing these criminals.

Matthews later recounts other corrupt politicians and--surprise!-- most of them are Republicans. He goes back three years to mention Duke Cunningham and to 2006 to note Bob Ney.

Somehow, he manges to avoid mentioning Charles Rangel, Kwame Kilpatrick, Dianne Wilkerson, and Eliot Spitzer, corrupt Democrats all very much in the news this year.

And no, I'm not smearing these crooks. They've brought it all on themselves.
