"Everybody sort of likes Bush, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the Left"--Chris Matthews

--Chris Matthews, November 25, 2005.

In recent days, Matthews dismissed those in the Left who oppose the Senate bill (to whom he referred as the "netroots") as “troublemakers who love to sit in the back seat and complain," and who "get their giggles out of sitting in the back seat and bitching."

1. Who's recommending this POS? And why? Obviously tweety is delusional.

As usual.

Did you sort of like Bush? Speak up!

3. I believe you didn't get it

I clearly praise Glenn Greenwald for observing how two-faced Chris Matthews is, pretending to care for our nation when he dismissed Bush's critics as "whackos" from the left. People who recommend this are doing so because an embarassing video of Matthews has surfaced.

6. I believe I did. And I know all about Matthews. Last week he dissed

the netroots...

14. Matthews isn't two-faced. he's got one, the lips of which are firm planted on the asses of TPTB

18. He can the read who signs his paycheck.

And it ain't anyone on the web.

7. I recommend it because it shows why I dislike Matthews with his own words.

I've heard him say too many things like this over the years. That's why I am not a fan.

10. Matthews was never objective about Bush.

He was always taken by Bush's ability to make everyone (i.e. everyone in Chris's world) feel comfortable just by popping off a beer cap with his teeth.

He had him at >>>>>>>>>>>>>buuuurp<<<<<<<<<<<

2. Statements like this prove that Matthews should be put out to pasture.

4. whack-job checking in

I hate Bush and the BFEE

Chris Matthews ogled bush's bunched up flight suit and is a piece of slime that doesn't deserve the air he breathes.

5. Well, he's got the "back seat" part right

Funny how us "troublemakers" never get to sit in the FRONT seat, even after FAIRLY won elections.

8. This whack job, maybe on the left, thinks Matthews should be canned

giggle, bitch, giggle, bitch, giggle, bitch

[AndyA]

9. I can't stand Chris Matthews.

He slobbers.

He's loud.

He won't shut the hell up.

He's on both sides of the fence, depending on which way the wind blows.

He's unprofessional.

How the hell did he get his own show anyway? Who would want to get banged by him?

11. As opposed to the drunk, blindfolded guy who's driving?..eh Chris?

He has diarrhea of the mouth

[Romulox]

12. Matthews is a rubber faced yes man--he lives to ingratiate himself with whomever is in power. nt

[Joe Chi Minh]

13. ... the whack-jobs, together with all the rest of the world. Hmm. I think maybe

even at the noble occuption of journalism, you seem to have aimed low and missed, Mr Matthews.

[Neecy]

15. This was the most bizarre of his quotes:

"We're proud of our president. Americans love having a guy as president, a guy who has a little swagger, who's physical, who's not a complicated guy like Clinton or even like Dukakis or Mondale, all those guys, McGovern. They want a guy who's president. Women like a guy who's president. Check it out. The women like this war. I think we like having a hero as our president. It's simple. We're not like the Brits."

[Vidar]

16. What a slimy moron!

[lunatica]

17. If my skin crawling with shuddering repulsion is liking Bush

Then I like him

19. THANK YOU. We need to show some people how fricking out-of-touch

this alleged "ultimate political insider" douchebag really is!
