I hate Chris Matthews, but when his wet finger hits the wind, he's a master.

[Atman]

He abso-fucking-lutely hammered the Republican shill tonight. Never mind the C3PO getup she was wearing, she was a total android in her canned responses to Matthews' equally calculated jabs. Matthews is a shill for ratings, but now that he's on our side...go for it, Chris.

1. Thank you for coming on to represent the republican party

:rofl:

[redstate_democrat]

2. She wouldn't even admit to being a Repuke.

You know shit is bad when you're ashamed of your own damn party and its current president. What a fucking joke these people are.

[MadMaddie]

3. Mathews is a fair weathered friend to the Democratic party.

[PermanentRevolution]

11. Well, a fair-weather friend is better than no friend at all, I guess...

At least he backs us up occasionally.

[MadMaddie]

19. I suppose we have to take what we can get!

[renie408]

29. Matthews is a friend to himself...but if in being his own friend, he's our friend

even for a little while, I'll take it.

[TooRaLoo]

4. He nailed her ass to the wall today.

Wonderful to watch.

[Marsala]

5. Matthews: Bi-partisan hack n/t

[napi21]

6. I watched him earlier tonight. Ya gotta love him when he's in that groove.

He questions, questions the answer, says "that doesn't make sense", then dismisses the guest speaker with that "you're an idiot" smirk.

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. She's losing it because Obama put her picture in those lobbying ads

She's exposed as a mercenary shill every time she goes on TV

[hisownpetard]

20. I despise that woman. The bigger the lie she's espousing, the bigger the smile.

UGH!

[cliffordu]

8. That WAS pretty spectacular. I think even the MSM is embarrased by the

absolute hubris and callous indifference to the truth these fuckwits try to get away with.

[MichDem10]

9. Tweety clearly took his meds today. Or he watched his retirement go down the shitter!

[Teaser]

10. I don't hate Matthews, but...

he can be a bit bipolar. Well, very bipolar.

[elleng]

22. He IS bipolar (imo),

and completely unreliable.

[givemebackmycountry]

12. Amazing

I caught the last 45 seconds of his show leading into 'Countdown" on my DVR.

"Your side has BLOWN it, don't ask for four more years". Chris howls.

And then he says...

"By the way, I think we do it better here then they do"

I wonder what he was talking about there.

I got to DVR this at 2am.

[Awsi Dooger]

24. He was making the case that Obama has not clearly defined the GOP failures

I completely agree. Matthews at the end of the program basically gave Obama a point by point blueprint to slam Republicans for their failures since 2000. That's where the, "By the way, I think we do it better than they do," comment came from, essentially belittling the Obama campaign strategy and themes.

[billyoc]

13. He'll do well in the Senate.

[snake in the grass]

14. Is there a video link available?

[krkaufman]

15. Matthews was at least questioning the audacity of Republicans running against their own records....

... but I would never call Matthews a master. As he demonstrated tonight, he's not a good debater or even moderator, coming across as excited and erratic. His point sounded more like complaining and exasperation than a reasoned argument.

[Atman]

17. I guess I like the way he simply asked people to explain themselves...

...instead of laying out the answer he wants disguised as a question. Remember the original sub line...I know Matthews is an opportunist, so this isn't about that part of it. I just like the way he allows the victim to dangle in the wind. You call it excited and erratic. I thought it was good tactically.

.

[krkaufman]

26. Ok, but his lack of having a coherent line of questioning allows the spokespeople ....

... to spew their nonsense without any real fact-checking, and the helter skelter style inhibits the ability to understand what's being discussed.

[vaberella]

16. Does anyone have a vid of this? What was the name of the Repub? n/t

[opiate69]

18. I think this is it...

[jberryhill]

21. It all depends on how he got it wet that day

You never know where that finger's been.

[Frank Booth]

23. I can't stand that woman, but I have to admit, she is

very, very good at her job. She doesn't get flustered, and manages to look reasonable spewing lies.

[Sugarcoated]

25. The media's pissed

As the Gerg said on 360, they're realizing that The Liar and the Repubslimein party are playing them. The bullshit is finally hittin' the fan.

[Raine]

27. Tweety was on fire, he really tore her a new one!

Tweety is erratic and undependable but when he's good he's...GOOD! :thumbsup:

[LostinRed]

28. Well, Said "My Friend," Well Said n/t
