Matthews is consistently inconsistent

[Stinky The Clown]

On the day after the last Maryland Senatorial primary, his guest was Kweisi Mfume. During the interview, Matthews gushed that he had voted for him over the eventual winner, the less liberal but still terrific Ben Cardin.

Today he has Cardin's loser opponent, Michael Steele on. During the interview they spar. They jab. They trade barbs. When it is over, Matthews gushes to Steele that he voted for him.

I can't make sense of this.

Mfume is as liberal as one can get.

Steele is ...... well ..... Steele.

Can anyone else square this?

1. It's Tweety and his kneepads -

sometimes his need to fellate just overwhelms his good sense........................

[spanone]

2. if you're on his show, you're the best.

it's called show business, this is not about politics.

[Warpy]

9. I think you're onto something

Tweety is a frustrated groupie, star struck over any star that will deign to appear on his show and never able to realize he's being used by most of them.

3. What is it Stephanie Miller calls him? Political crazy car?

Yeah, that fits.

[seabeyond]

4. at least he is consistent. n/t

[tishaLA]

5. He'd mentioned voting for Steele before. I just

don't get it.

[Jane Austin]

6. Maybe he voted for him for Lt. Governor?

I'm way down here in Texas, but I seem to remember he was Erlich's Lt. Governor.

[Stinky The Clown]

18. No, this was in our recent Senate race against FINE DEMOCRAT, Ben Cardin.

Yes, Steele was our Lt Governor, too. But that's a ticket election. We don't elect our Lt Governor separately like some other states do.

[Jane Austin]

21. OK. I didn't hear him say anything but "I voted for you".

Was there a primary?

[Forkboy]

7. I remember an interview with Tweety where he talked about how much he loves the Beltway club.

He can be entertaining at times, but in the end he's just lap dog to anyone with power.

8. Matthews is a slobbering loudmouthed fool. nt

[Occam Bandage]

10. "Yes, you're definitely the biggest guy I've been with." nt

[Stinky The Clown]

19. Hahahahahaha

:rofl:

Good one!

[marmar]

11. Maybe Tweety is a compulsive liar......

n/t

[mitchum]

12. He's a Reflexive Sycophant

[Jane Austin]

13. So nobody but me thinks he might have been talking about the Lt. Gov race

and not the Senate race?

Or should we just keep saying he's a compulsive liar and stuff?

[dorkulon]

14. CM represents the flighty impulsiveness of the US voter. He probably liked Steele's glasses. nt

[Orsino]

15. Matthews is like most other bullshit artists, but without the art. n/t

[rvablue]

16. Tweety also admittedly voted for the Shrub and he also said he voted for Obama.

Go figure.

He's a weather vane. Whichever way the wind blows. And, if he voted for Steele, I think everyone should take a second look at Matthews political "expertise." (Never mind that vote for the Shrub when he ran against Gore)

[PCIntern]

17. Tweety voted for Shrub's crotch...

there goes that tingle again!!!

[gratuitous]

20. It's like that experiment with the pigeon

During the first part of the experiment, the pigeon pushes a lever and gets a treat. During the second part of the experiment, once the pigeon has learned the connection between pushing the lever and getting the treat, the "payoff" only comes every fifth push of the lever. Then every 10th push. Then every 50th push. Then the lever is disconnected from the treat dispenser, but the pigeon keeps pushing the lever, waiting and hoping for the treat that will never come again.

Thus it is with those who watch Chris Matthews. The memory of the treat once upon a time far outlives any treat that he's provided to his viewers for quite a long time.
