Matthews' show, night after night: Split screen with Matthews blathering and the guests laid mute.

Why does he have guests?

1. Why does he have guests?

So he can constantly interrupt them and talk over them.

2. My husband has said on many nights watching Tweety Bird

That there is no way in hell he'd go on that show. He has good guests but the amount of time they are allowed to talk is very limited. He asks a question and uses up at least a few more minutes expounding on the subject BEFORE the guests are allowed to weigh in. It must take all the strength they can muster to not reach across the table and throttle Tweety.

3. I know

That woman Ioffe said as much tonight!

4. That moment was the inspiration for this post

She's way too good to be lost as a guest on his verbal masturbation extravaganza

6. Yep

She was awesome.

5. I've asked the same question many times.

Surely someone at some time has made him aware of the criticism... why does he persist in that behavior? Is he in love with himself?

7. When I turn to MSNBC in the car and he is on, I immediately change the channel.

Steve Schmidt is the only guest he's had that actually continues to talk and attempt to follow through with a point when Tweety interrupts.

And I noticed the other day that they were having problems with Schmidt's feed or audio, so go figure.

8. He's infuriating

I watch when the news is big, but I end up irritated by his mouth-make-noise syndrome.
