Listening to Matthews blather about Hillary Clinton . . . . he is SUCH a fucking ass

[Stinky The Clown]

In trying to praise her he sounds the very same as he did when she put him down.

Chris, my boy, YOU are out of touch, over the hill, and very 20th Century. Maybe its time to hang up the spurs there, Hoss.

[mr_hat]

1. I so disagree. A generational thing, probably. n/t

[Stinky The Clown]

2. No . . . . I disagree . . . .

He and I are the same generation, as is Hillary Clinton. If he hasn't evolved by now, he ought not have that teevee show of his.

[still_one]

3. Well I disagree with the disagreement

[OldDem2012]

4. +1000. Tweety is a total ass-clown and should retire asap. nt.

[Richardo]

5. He puts the 'douche' in 'douchebag'

[bluestate10]

14. Tweety is a good person and good man. nt

[OldDem2012]

24. When compared to John Boehner, probably so. nt.

[madinmaryland]

27. Do you mean Douchebass???

Courtesy of DUer, trumad!

[Logical]

6. LOL, so we hate Chris today? I lose track. Same with Bill Maher, Michael Moore, etc. n-t

[qazplm]

7. exactly

heaven forbid Matthews act like the old dude he is. He's old school, but he's also pretty darn progressive. Does he retain some of the old school sensibilities about women and race and whatnot, sure. Is that a positive, no. Does he get it right most of the time? Yes.

We love him one moment then he says something someone doesn't like and he's an a$$ again.

The only truly fair critique of him IMO is that he is a fairly bad interviewer who interrupts his guests amazingly way way too much.

[Logical]

8. I like the way he will call out people who need called out. Many interviewers do not. n-t

[Sekhmets Daughter]

26. I don't mind him interrupting some of the fools he interviews...

I do mind the way he fawns over everyone...I always wish someone would just throw him a bone and be done with it.

[Fla_Democrat]

10. Programs, getcha programs here

can't tell who's on the in, who's on the out wit'out ya program.

[Logical]

15. LOL, so true. We need a scrolling display. n=t

[Stinky The Clown]

16. I have no idea about "we" . . . . and it isn't "hate" . . . .

I just think (and have forever) that he's a blowhard horse's ass, unintentional mysogynist.

[Logical]

17. LOL, yes, not ONE progressive bone in his body! FIRE HIM!!! n-t

[Stinky The Clown]

19. You're the one doing the hyperbole.

Have fun.

[Logical]

20. Here is a link for you!!!!

[Stinky The Clown]

21. Hahahahaha

You just demonstrated that you have no clue what my point was.

Yes, he *did* pretty much endorse her. But on his way to doing that he was what I said he was . . . . an old fashioned, out of touch, unintentional mysogynist.

He only missed saying she wore a pretty dress.

Actually, he did that, too.

[OldDem2012]

25. I've disliked Tweety for quite a while, but he totally lost me with....

....his "performance" during and after the first Presidential debate.

[Logical]

29. That debate was horrible for us and Obama. n-t

[OldDem2012]

34. "Us"? Not all of us allowed Tweety to stampede us into believing the President....

....lost the first debate. Quite a few of us had a very difficult time giving a win win to an individual who lied every time he opened his mouth. If you think that's okay, fine, you're welcome to your opinion but don't expect everyone to agree with it.

Tweety did nothing but throw a tantrum. It was embarrassing, to say the least.

By the way, I'm almost as old as he is.

[Logical]

39. We did lose the first debate. No doubt. Polls, etc all show it. Debates are not about truth. It is..

about impressions.

Notice how Obama changed for the next two? Why, if the first one was so good??

[OldDem2012]

41. Yes, polls were so accurate during this past election cycle (add MAJOR sarcasm)....

....additionally, believing "perceptions" are more important than truth is a major reason why we're in this mess. You like lies? You're welcome to them.

I also noticed how Mitt hung himself during the first debate. Virtually all of his lies came back to haunt him.

[Logical]

44. Well, you are wrong and in the minority, but reality is hard! n-t

[OldDem2012]

45. Whatever. You seem to have chosen a bad boardname because your "logic" totally escapes me. nt.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

48. Actually the polls were accurate....

....the aggregate of all of them had Obama winning, and he did.

[OldDem2012]

49. Which polls were accurate and how many? nt.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

51. All you had to do was read 538 or Princeton Election Consortium

The polls told Nate Silver, as well as Dr Wang, that Obama was going to win, down to the last Electoral Vote.

That was the material they used....how did they draw that conclusion if the polls didn't show the President winning?

[OldDem2012]

53. I seem to recall that they dropped a number of the polling groups along the way, but....

....not before those so-called "polls" declared Romney the "winner" after the first debate despite lying his ass off.

Again, if you believe lies are more important than truth, Romney won.

Argue among yourselves...I'm done with this thread.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

55. I don't think Romney won the first debate, why are you implying I did?

The President did not do enough to defend himself and win decisively, however. I don't blame Chris Matthews for being angry after that first debate, it was like they didn't expect Rmoney to lie or even show up for the damn thing. Thankfully Obama and his team woke up for the second debate.

But I'm talking about the polls regarding who people were voting for, which is what you seemed to start out talking about, but keep hopping around between that and the polls about the debate.

Anyhow, have a nice evening.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

47. I know....

....he praised Hillary and called the Republicans clowns!.....so.....so.....FUCK HIM!

[Logical]

50. LOL. Perfect! n-t

[mfcorey1]

9. Loving Tweety today!!

[trof]

11. What show were you watching?

Or did I miss the smilie?

[bluestate10]

12. I like Hillary. nt

[HangOnKids]

13. Forget The Spurs Stinky

He needs to retire the horse he rode in on.

[toshiba783]

18. online..?

Anywhere to watch this episode online?

[JHB]

22. There's one story that gets Tweety's attention above all else...

"So as I'm about to leave the bar, Bill Clinton's penis walks in..."

Nothing else about the story matters. That part will get his attention every time, like a kitten tracking a laser spot.

[Fumesucker]

23. Tweety was kind of fond of Dubya's package too

Something or other about a tingle down his leg..

[Sekhmets Daughter]

28. That was Obama...

causing the tingle,

[Fumesucker]

30. Not in 2004

Which is about when I quit watching that twerp.

Tweety I mean.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

37. I remember him saying that in 2008.

Also, he made a joke at the Al Smith Dinner about causing Matthews to exprience a tingle up his leg, last time and causing him to have a stroke this time.

[TheKentuckian]

33. Dubya gave him the tingles as well

[Sekhmets Daughter]

38. I don't remember that...

I do know that the right went nuts over his 2008 remark about Obama causing a "tingle up his leg" he's actually referred to it a few times on his show since them. And, at the Al Smith Dinner Obama said "last time I caused a tingle up Chris's leg, this time I gave him a stroke"

[madinmaryland]

31. He is really impressed by the size of President Obama's package, unlike the

RepubliKKKans.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

40. Now how would you know that?

[JHB]

56. "So Bill Clinton's dick walks into a bar and sees Bush's package..."

Tweety ambrosia.

[Melinda]

32. Matthews fawning over Sec. Clinton is a simple ~ rinse, ~ wash, ~ repeat of the Dubya years.

The story remains the same, only the players have changed. Matthews is a political sycophant and opportunist. From the way back machine at Think Progress

In A Three Minute Monologue, Matthews Gushes Over Bush’s ‘Great Neo-Conservative Mind’

– “We’re proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who’s physical.” [5/1/03]

– “Sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility.” [10/25/05]

– “I like him. Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left.” [11/28/05]

– “A little bit of Lincoln there, I think,” referring to Bush finally admitting that telling Iraqi insurgents to “bring it on” in 2003 “sent the wrong signal to people.” [5/25/06]

Short article is worth the read. Seriously - this guy enjoys kissing political ass. Matthews can be very entertaining and he does know politics, but he often comes across as a fool. A Jester who kisses the most expediant ass. It sells tickets.

My 2cents.

[OldDem2012]

43. Thank you. nt.

[Raine]

35. Actually I loved him today, loved him calling the repukes "piss-ants" and saying they went

back to their "caves".

[DesertFlower]

36. i like him. i love seeing him when

he's around crowds of people asking questions. he seems to really like people.

[Downtown Hound]

42. Tweety has moments of lucidity and clear thinking

But I will never forget how he absolutely gushed over Dubya's now infamous aircraft landing stunt. He called Bush a hero and all kinds of other crap. That tells me all I need to know about Tweets. He may have some good moments, but he's a whore just like the rest of them. Never forget that.

[Stinky The Clown]

46. No, he's worse than the rest of them . . . . and so is Howie Fineman, his sidekick.

They love whoever is in power or whoever/whatever is popular.

His relationship to/with the Clintons is almost pathological. He wants so bad to be in their inner circle and they deal with him like a horsefly on a horse's ass.

[brewens]

52. Here's Matthews giddy with delight over his President on "Mission Accomplished" day. It's a real

puke fest! I like to post this link every once in awhile. It also includes someone from FOX "News" I think, trying to dupe viewers into believing Bush actually landed the plane. They are careful to not actually make that claim, but someone dumb enough may have gotten that idea.

http://mediamatters.org/research/2006/04/27/mission-accomplished-a-look-back-at-the-medias/135513

[tularetom]

54. I don't care whether or not I agree with him or disagree

He is a horse's ass.

And pretty much unwatchable.

I think he's the guy who went to the NBC suits and got Phil Donohue kicked off MSNBC. And it would not surprise me if he was trying to grease the skids under Olbermann's ass as well.

He impresses me as a guy who desperately wants to be part of the beltway in crowd but somehow they just won't accept him.

He's just fucking tiresome and I wish he'd go the hell away.

[hrmjustin]

57. I am not a fan of the man, but i think he got it right today.

She was great!
