1. Is Matthews familiar with the term "palooka?"

In boxing, it's the opponent picked so's the prospective champ can clobber him and buff his KO record. Saddam was Bush's palooka. Iraq wasn't invaded because it was powerful and dangerous. It was invaded because it was weak and available.

Bush beat his palooka. But he lost his title match, then lost a number of decisions, and is now in a Tyson-like biting frenzy.

But Matthews is still glowing over the palooka as if THAT is what REALLY mattered. What a dick.

2. Just what did the NSA learn

when they tapped Chris Mathews phone years ago that turned him into
a right wing psychopant???
Or is it that extra gov't check he's getting every week to spew forth
his drivel??

3. Chris Matthews = REPUG WHORE

Liberal medai, my ass. I wonder if Matthews sucks off chimpy on a daily or weekly basis.

4. Well when Matthews uses the phrase "a few critics"

He really means "about 2/3rds of the the American people."

5. Chris Matthews... He is not unlike some sort of barnyard fowl.

A goose or a duck per haps.

6. I'd have to go with (M)an Coulter's quote:

"I can't imagine any Democrat doing that..." i.e., taking the photo-op and none of the responsibility for disaster.

9. To this day I have never figured out why the media.......

thought that stunt by Bush was so remarkable, manly, brave and whatever other nauseating drivel they spouted that day. Did I miss something. He landed on an aircraft carrier with a top pilot and that was somehow supposed to be the bravest thing any president had ever done. To me he looked like a total ass. I just don't get it!!!

10. They are paid big bucks to make the idiot look like a hero

No different from advertising agencies being paid big bucks to make skanky products look appealing.

The only difference is that they are selling out our country, not selling some gloppy cosmetic cream.

13. Wasn't it that Bush was supposed to have flown the plane? nt

[Missy M]

14. So they said, he flew it for a short time...

and somehow I don't believe it.

11. LOL, a few critics

12. He won the war that's still going on? How does that work?

Sorry, I fail to see Fat Bastard's logic here.
