Talk show host Stephanie Miller was on Hardball today talking about Rep. Peter Stark’s remarks about Bush’s SCHIP veto and should he apologize over them when she said this about Chris Matthews:

It was so funny------see the look on his face.

1. For what it's worth, Matthews has generally been on our side for the past 6 mos. or so,

and has been pretty much anti-war from the start. I think Stephanie Miller was somewhat off the mark here. Especially considering how Matthews recently outed the Bush admin for trying to influence MSNBC's ed board.

3. He was on Real Time tonight

and hardly came across as a "right wing tool". There have been many times when I've disagreed with him strongly, but as you say, he has been on our side lately for the most part.

8. I've noticed that too - also Tim Russert asked him the other day

if he was considering running for office again and he was rather coy, so maybe he is shoring up his appeal.

2. I thought she was aiming that remark at someone else..

She was going back and forth with some right wing dip-shit during that segment. I think her comment was directed at him...not Tweety.

4. Sorry, but, imho, Tweety was the target.

That was Steph's final appearance on Hardball.

5. Tweety was the target

And it hurt him becuase it has a certain amount of truth. He knew he got slammed on his own show for being an opportunist. Look at your comments! But for the last six months!

Yeah when the tide had shifted he shifted he is a TOOL! This work I heard him go into a segment regarding NASCAR drivers supporting Rudi with the comment, These guys like Real Leaders! He does it every week! COME ON.

6. Matthews is an equal opportunity tool. n/t

7. He seemed deeply hurt by that.

It made me laugh. :evilgrin:

9. She backtracked as all Dems do

And said she was just kidding.
