CHRIS MATTHEWS (ugh) just said that the Republicans won

[Coexist]

"when Mrs. Alito left the room in tears."

I am truly beginning to hate this idiot.

[AX10]

He's a parasite.

[cantstandbush]

57. Republicans won but the nation lost and it had nothing to do with tears

from Mrs. Alito.

[Vincardog]

1. What took you so long?

[Coexist]

3. Sometimes he calls people for their weaseling, so I have been

willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

But the crying thing. THAT is what he feels the swing vote on SCOTUS comes down to? What a fucking asshole.

[Vincardog]

18. Remember the Repigs were questioning Alito when the crying jag hit

But somehow it is the Democrats fault. Since when do you bring a SO to a job interview?

[arcane1]

24. when you want to show them in the background

wearing bright colours easily noticed, for when the water-works start

[EFerrari]

42. The whole team wore red and white stuff to match

the red and white "Alito" campaign signs. They had printed signs and he signed autographs, but *we* are politicizing this? Right.

[FreedomAngel82]

And it's interesting what Graham was saying too

Go back and listen to what he was saying while the cameras were focusing on her little deal.

[ray of light]

2. well, it's true. And they prob. planned it that way!

[nini]

8. exactly

it's a game to them and they played the pity card with that move.

[NanceGreggs]

20. Maybe we should play the 'pity' card, too ...

The night of the SOTU address, Dems can start crying and have to be 'assisted' out of the hall.

"The president is just being SOOO mean to us," said Feinstein, obviously distraught.

"He's been SPYING on us," said a teary-eyed Ted Kennedy.

"I can't believe what he's done to the economy," commented Russ Feingold, too choked by emotion to continue.

I know they WON'T do it -- but it sure would make the Republicans look as ridiculous as they actually are ...

[Surya Gayatri]

30. Hey, send this scenario to Harry...

Maybe he can whip up a performance before Friday's vote! SG

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[EFerrari]

40. Nance, I'm glad you're on our side.

:)

[ray of light]

52. cute!

[napi21]

14. Unfortunately, I have to agree with him on this one.

You don't realize how effective that little act can be!

Personally, I viewed her as a wuss. Little candy a** wifie who plans the coctail parties, and has no idea of how though the world of business really is, but there are a LOT of people out there who view that escapade as those MEAN OLD MEN picking on her poor husband!

[EFerrari]

31. You know, I think most Americans saw that as weakness.

I don't think it played as they planned it to play.

If it had, every single bubbleboy in the white male Thug caucus would be pounding on this point. And, they're not.

This is the fall back position and there's Matthews, bringing up the rear as usual.

[AX10]

35. only the Right Wing echo chamber is still discussing the...

crying stunt. the MSM is not.

[EFerrari]

39. Right. It was ugly. They prefer Laura's frozen decorum. n/t

[RememberWellstone]

41. I believe this to be true.

He has been catering the the bushites for the last year, he is now "coming out". By election time he will be full bore republican asshole.

[graywarrior]

4. You ever even liked him?

He's putrid. Welcome to his hate club.

[fooj]

5. Fuck Chris Matthews...

We'll see how he fairs during his "treason" hearings...

[vi5]

6. Unless you're employed by or a member of Media Matters...

Stop watching him. He's an idiot and getting riled up over what he or any cable pundit says is akin to getting emotionally involved or worked up over professional wrestling. Yes, certain blogs and internet sites need to watch this crap to be able to relay "what the enemy is saying" to us, but none of us need to watch it. I've not watched any of that crap for at least 2-3 years now yet I know exactly what they say and when they say it. Let those who choose and want to get in the trenches and watch that stuff like Media Matters do the dirty work.

[Coexist]

9. I was looking for MSM response to Reid's comments and

he was the talking head du jour.

[vi5]

50. That's the thing.....he's not the MSM...

A show which gets as few viewers as he does and as do all of those craptastic cable news shows are not mainstream. We only treat them as such on here and give them more credit than they deserve.

[RobertSeattle]

7. Right

The 10 Republicans on the committee were just going to vote Nay until that Drama Queen did her boo hoo.

[sasha031]

10. F*#CK Matthews

[TallahasseeGrannie]

11. Well, he might be a schmuck

but he could be right on this one.

[Surya Gayatri]

26. IMHO, not if the Dems listen to their base--

the thousands of progressive and middle-ground groups which have risen up across the land to oppose this. Histrionics must not be allowed to influence Constitutional law.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

44. We can always dream, can't we.

[progressoid]

12. Sad, but true.

[Surya Gayatri]

13. Yeah, that "coup de théâtre" is their

trump card. One of the Repubs whipped out a photo during the Judicial Committee vote just to keep it front and center. Shameless, unprincipled, unscrupulous. They will stop at nothing.

[quinnox]

15. no surprise

he almost always backs the republican line.

I bet in 2008 he will fanatically cover any swift boat type attacks against the Dem candidate.

[Burried News]

16. Cry me a river - I'm already up shits creek.

[WI_DEM]

17. he always takes the GOP line, hook, line and sinker

If Mrs. Alito can't take the heat she shouldn't have been there. What did she expect--a Sunday school picnic? Matthews it's HARDBALL-- get it!? Just think of the abuse Alito will take if Roe is overridden. But then Mrs. Alito won't care--he has the job already.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

19. I think he is totally run by his emotions.....

n/t

[Canuckistanian]

21. So, the party with the most hysterics wins?

This is a new definition of the democratic process.

[Vinnie From Indy]

22. Tweety is one crazy mofo

You just never know what bit of insanity will spring from his lips at any given moment.

He said in this latest BushCo onslaught that it was Ms Alito crying that won the day! Can you believe this is the level of discourse in America? Why not just say that it was Alito's tie or his eye glasses that won over the Senators? No mention by Tweety about anything that might happen because of the nomination nor any mention of the stakes nor any mention of the etc etc etc

[oneoftheboys]

23. When analyzing it from an emotional point of view, he is right.

Unfortunately, emotions play an important role on the political stage.

[AtomicKitten]

25. Someone needs to slap the sh*t out of Matthews.

He makes me want to yak with his fawning over the Rs. Truly repulsive.

[mom cat]

27. He is grasping at straws...that is a good sign!

[DeepModem Mom]

28. That was, indeed, the major story of the hearings, thanks to our media. nt

[EFerrari]

29. A crock. This is the RW talking point. n/t

[wisteria]

32. Unfortunately, I agree with him. Support for this dangerous man has

gone up since the hearings because of Mrs. Alito and Lindsey Graham's over the top performance of the outraged Republican Senator. They have spun this into evil Dem's vs good Judge Alito and the pathetic masses that think they are saving babies and putting women in their place,have fell for this like the good fools they are.
This is a 2006 election stunt courtesy of the Republicans and by the time the fools figure it all out the elections will be over and they will be left with a Government that has no respect for their rights or their privacy. Worse for them, Roe vs Wade will still be in place,because it will have to be challenged state by state and I think we can all figure out that the Republicans have no intention of doing away with such a big money making and vote getting law like Roe vs Wade.They will just throw them a little piece of meat once in a while to keep them excited and on board.

[fooj]

34. They want to see OUTRAGE? We'll show these rat bastards OUTRAGE!

They apparently haven't a clue as to what polling numbers are and the fact that Alito has "bombed" in them. LOL!!! They are NOT THE MAJORITY in this country. Period. The Dems standing up will show that soon enough, IMO.

Peace.

[EFerrari]

46. They aren't the majority. But we have to keep speaking up

or it LOOKS like they are.

Geezus, my freinds in Europe keep asking me if there are more of us than there is of them, because they are so fricken LOUD.

We all need to go to CHOIR practice.

:nuke:

[Catrina]

43. The real reason is not the histrionics of his wife, caused by Lindsey

Graham, btw, who called her husband a ''bigot' at which point all Democrats should have jumped to their feet and fiercely objected, but too late for that now.

Chris Matthews, imo, is simply DUMB. I have watched him try to figure things out on the air, that even a grade school child could figure out, and wondered 'is he acting, or does he really not know the answer to the questions he's asking'? I concluded that he's not too bright, which is why he is so easily influenced by a flight-suited pretender, who went AWOL when it really counted

He actually thinks that that piece of phony theater is what got support for the war, when in fact it was all the lies that were told. But because he, himself, is just so DUMB, he projects that stupidity to the rest of us!! This is why I refuse to pay for their propaganda anymore.

If Alito is confirmed it will be because the Republicans have a majority. It's that simple, but simple-minded Chris falls for the theatrics of this administration EVERY TIME and because HE does, he assumes WE will. There's something missing in that man's brain.

Also, in a transcript of his drool over Bush's flight suit, which was the most sickening thing I have ever read from a grown man, he asked 'can you imagine any Dem. being able to do this?' and then he gave a list. On the list was Sen. McGovern!!!

If anyone doubted his stupidity, this should have confirmed it for them.

Sen. McGovern, unlike the AWOL pilot who so impressed Matthews by dressing up like a pilot, actually WAS a fighter pilot!!

I think he owes Sen. McGovern a huge apology. He was a WW11 fighter pilot ~ these people make me sick, it's difficult to express the absolute disdain I have for them.

He drools all over an AWOL actor, and then says that he can't imagine a REAL fighter pilot being 'able to pull this off'. :puke:

UNBELIEVABLE!! Why does anyone watch this garbage anymore?

[FreedomAngel82]

33. Yep

That's why I just turn it all off.

[endarkenment]

36. Chrissy Matthews is a Republican Shill

I am so sick of this fat tub of lard. He is on my Don't Watch List.

[Initech]

37. Chris Matthews is freaking idiot

This comment made that perfectly clear.

[wryter2000]

38. Turn...him...off

Seriously. Save your stomach lining.

[B Calm]

45. Who in the hell watches CHRIS MATTHEWS? Turn him off!!

[grateful581]

47. that pissed me off too

boo hoo repukes!



are the dems asking real questions

[Skidmore]

48. Chris Matthews couldn't find

his ass with both hands and a floodlight. Suffers from diarhhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain. Has one cylinder firing on most days--the one that keeps his gums flapping. Proof positive as to what too much peroxide does to brain cells.

[EFerrari]

49. Don't hold back, Skidmore.

I think his last book didn't do much either. :)

[Nutmegger]

51. He was probably in on it too. n-t

[LittleClarkie]

53. THERE'S NO CRYING IN POLITICS!

(With apologies to "A League of Their Own")

[Ksec]

54. Hes a bullshit artist

F him and his bullshit. He'll change tomorrow.

[SoCalDem]

55. Of course a TRUE reporter would have dug into the WHY of the tears

and called them repubes on their phony, staged "event"..

It was a purple bandaid, flip-flop, swiftboat event:puke:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

56. Does he have any audience left?

I'll bet the Food Channel at midnight has higher ratings.

[LynnTheDem]

58. Coz republicans are TOO EMOTIONAL?

Hypocritical asshole crybaby coward MFers.
