Transcripts of Chris Matthews fantasizing over Bush's "sunny nobility"
For those of you have any doubt as to "which side" Matthews is on.



MONDAY OCT 24th:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9813180/

What he needs to do is put together some new staff, admit whatever mistakes have to be admitted and start moving forward. He‘s got three years left in his administration and it‘s important for him and for the country that he be functional.

MATTHEWS: You know, Tony, there is in the past, it‘s not always there, but sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility. How does he bring it back because it hasn‘t been apparent for a while now.

WEDNESDAY OCT 26th:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9840327/

MATTHEWS: Let me go to the question—and somebody criticized me for saying it. And maybe you will right now, Bob, but there are occasions where this president has shown the glitter of nobility.

He‘s done just the right thing at just the right time and right opportunity. He picked a superb nominee for Supreme Court chief justice. I mean, you didn‘t hear from the accolades from the Democratic left because a lot of them are running for president and they have to be pro-choice and all that, but what a splendid appointment.

And then he picks this guy for Federal Reserve chairman the other day, The Economist magazine of London had picked him as their favorite to get the job. He was the best man for the job, the best person. This president is capable of grand, grand gestures and grand moments. I guess I‘m asking, can he get on a winning streak again and how does he do it?

1. Wipe your mouth, Chris.
Amazing how Repukes still claim there's a "liberal" media.

4. Sunny Nobility??
Is that the new term for "dumb as a rock and doesn't know it"?

5. I've come to the conclusion...
that Chris Matthews is just plain nuts. He seems to have fallen in love with Bush - ever since the "Mission Accomplished" carrier landing/photo-op. I'm thinking the only news he sees or hears is his own show. Over the years, I've noticed that he's a particularly, pathetically bad judge of character. He prefers his own catch-phrases (sunny nobility, glitter of nobility) to actual observable reality. I hear you never really do get over malaria...

6. Christ Jesus
The man appointed a qualified person to run the Federal Reserve. That is the least, the very least, we should expect from a President. I am so sick of Bush getting credit for doing what any reasonably competent President would do.

8. I caught both of the "sunny nobility" comments live and couldn't believe
what I was hearing. Chris was drooling over Dubya for nothing. His comments were worthy of a middle school student talking about his or her latest crush.

Shades of Harriet Miers.

I find him so grating that I otherwise can't bear watching.

15. I've enjoyed the last couple of days , what with the melt-down and all
but, in general, I agree with you. Matthews is impossible to watch on a regular basis.

13. It's much, much worse to actually HEAR it, isn't it?
Matthews starts spitting and stuttering and lisping when he gets really excited, and his PRIMARY concern...overriding ANY "reporting" he's done in the last month or so of Katrina, Miers, CIA Leak heating up...has been "how can Bush improve his standing in the polls?"

THAT'S what really matters to him. He wants Bush struttin' and smirkin' and swaggerin' across the carrier deck again, accomplishin' his MISSION with his flight suit crotch stuffed with socks and his stump speech stuffed with BULL.

I hate to say it, but for Chris Matthews, THIS constitutes "Internet Porn"...

17. It really is jolting to hear the awe in his voice....He really has a thing
Edited on Sat Oct-29-05 10:39 PM by Rowdyboy
for Bush, I don't mean to imply he's gay (God, I hope he isn't. How embarrassing to the gay movement would that be!)

But you're right, Matthews longs for "Flight deck/stuffed crotch Bush".He wants more of his hero, the Savior of 9/11. He wants his "Golden Child". In other words, he is seriously disturbed. He wants a man who doesn't exist and never really has.

"Sunny nobility"? More like "Snotty -N-competence"

9. Jeezus - he gets credited with "glitter of nobility"
and "grabd gestures" for picking the same fuckin guy that everybody told him to pick. Clinton could pick people like this while gettin a BJ at the same time. Its his fuckin job for chrissakes. It ain't noble and it ain't grand. I bet Mathews has an inflatable doll of * that he blows up every night heh heh.

11. My e-mail to Tweety
To: hardball@msnbc.com
Subject: Bush's "sunny nobility"...seriously, Chris, what's wrong with you?
Date: Oct 29, 2005 5:23 PM

Chris,

I really don't know what to say...I'm kind of stunned that you'd even say this, then flabbergasted that you'd double-dip two nights later with the caveat "and somebody criticized me for saying it."

1). "You know, Tony, there is in the past, it's not always there, but sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility" (Monday, October 24th)

2). "there are occasions where this president has shown the glitter of nobility." (Wednesday, October 26th)

Ever heard of Hurricane Katrina? Did you see the photos of Bush fake-strumming his guitar and sucking cake off his fingers while people died?

Sunny nobility? The nobility that he displayed in August while he spent the entire month inside the Crawford Pig Farm, hiding from Cindy Sheehan? THAT "nobility?"

Chris, I think you should devote an entire Hardball show to explaining to your viewers what is WRONG with you.

Inquiring minds want to know.

You must get a H-U-G-E paycheck from MSNBC.

Best regards,

---My_Real_Name---
(still shaking my head in utter disbelief)

16. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Great letter! It should get his attention.
The definition of nobility...

no·bil·i·ty

NOUN:
pl. no·bil·i·ties
A class of persons distinguished by high birth or rank and in Great Britain including dukes and duchesses, marquises and marchionesses, earls and countesses, viscounts and viscountesses, and barons and baronesses: "The old English nobility of office made way for the Norman nobility of faith and landed wealth" (Winston S. Churchill).
Noble rank or status: Congress may not grant titles of nobility.
The state or quality of being exalted in character.

I don't think so. Not even close.

Peace.

18. The corporate media is a well-funded propaganda machine.
The only reason we see people like Olberman is because all good propaganda must maintain a veneer of credibility and objectivity. Even Olberman is working with constraints. There is no real journalism in the corporate media anymore.

People like Chris Matthews are akin to Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally. They are told what to say and they say it because they are paid well.

The corporate media is the most important tool for the robber barons to maintain control of our government. It also conditions the people to consume! - consume! - consume!

The corporate media must be destroyed along with all corporate control of the government.

I would be happy to see these unpatriotic shills punished for their crimes.

23. Phew! Talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater!
I'd like to take the "corporate" out of media myself...but exactly who do you want to punish...the corporations, or the people who TRY to be journalists despite the constraints?

The corporate media onus is all the more reason to be happy when someone comes along who isn't a kiss-up like Matthews.

19. Chris has become downright embarrassing.
His drooling over Chimpy McFlightsuit is cringe material. His words are those of a 'love-struck' adolescent. (I've seen several of his 'episodes')

And this certifiable garbage is "the media" in the U.S.A. How horribly, horribly unfortunate, disgraceful and terribly dangerous to our democracy.

22. Chris has come a long way since he was a thinking human being

Wonder why Tweets never asks Tony Blankley how he likes taking a paycheck from an organization built on money swindled from the Japanese?

This is what Tweets said when the moonster opened his propaganda unit intended to give backbone to extreme rightwing politics.

From the WP 1982

The administrative assistant to House Speaker Tip O'Neill, Chris Matthews, has told staff members not to bother with Times reporters. "The Rev. Moon can buy a newspaper, but I can't buy the idea he's a newspaperman," says Matthews. "We work hard enough responding to legitimate press inquiries."


Sadly for our nation people like Matthews looked the other way while the Republicans and conservatives sucked up to Moon and his propaganda unit. Twenty five years, several smartly placed front groups and billions of Moon's swindled dollars later we have a nation which is not the product of the free market of ideas but a nation heading ever rightward and theocratic...and can you believe it?? surprise - surprise - that's Moon's plan.
