MATTHEWS: I think the president, if he wanted this to stop would make one phone call. Karl Rove, would make one phone call and that would be the end of the ads. That‘s what think, and you know that‘s true, right?

MALKIN: Well, there...

MATTHEWS: Is that true? If he wanted to stop them, he could stop them.

MALKIN: No, I don‘t think he could. No. I don‘t.

7. The part you miss in the transcript:

Matthews introduces her as "Michelle Malkin," pronounced MAL-kin.

She looks pissed off, corrects him, "MALL-kin."

At the end of the interview he calls her MAL-kin again, she looks like she wants to cry, takes a sip from her coffee cup, and cut to commercial.

4. Tweety wakes up and smells the Kool-Aid

I can imagine what Chris Matthews ponders when it's just himself and his thoughts alone --

"Hmm. Blue Dress. Monica Lewinsky. I did not have sex with that woman. Impeachment. The shame of a nation. But the nation loved him anyway. Loves him still. His marriage survived. He's got a real good kid in Chelsea. And he was good for business and labor alike. Hmm ...

"Hmm. Swift Boat Vets, all liars. Accusations that a decorated war veteran shot himself in the ass for the sake of getting a Purple Heart. A pResident with a history of ducking out of service. Savaging other statesmen who were once soldiers, including one of his own party who was a POW for five years. And the people he tolerates in his own little world ... hmm ...

"Maybe ... maybe I went wrong somewhere. I better think about this some more."

You know, I was half afraid that SBVftT had something damaging on Kerry. Now, all it looks like is a bunch of aging right-wingers trading their dear-won military honor for cheap partisan gain.

I shouldn't have worried. Bush attracts human bottom-feeders like dogshit attracts flies.

6. don't forget to give Willie Brown the assist

this is the line that allowed Malkin to stick her foot in her mouth:

BROWN: He volunteered twice. He volunteered twice in Vietnam. He literally got shot. There‘s no question about any of those things. So what else is there to discuss? How much he got shot, how deep, how much shrapnel?

MALKIN: Well, yes. Why don‘t people ask him more specific questions about the shrapnel in his leg. They are legitimate questions about whether or not it was a self-inflicted wound.

9. Willie also said with no hesitation that Bush should be held responsible

Do you believe in any way the president could be held politically responsible for these attacks?

WILLIE BROWN, FORMER SAN FRANCISCO MAYOR: He should be held politically responsible, Chris. When I served as speaker of the California legislature as well as mayor, whenever any independent group did anything that was for my benefit, and it was a slimy and as below the belt and as dishonest as these ads are, I had for purpose of my own integrity, denounced them and asked that they be stopped, just as I would if I was just being not effective at all. Period.
