Chris Matthews Show Panel Ponders Palin or Jeb Bush Run for 2012

Chris Matthews loves him some political presidential predicting. We are more than two years away from the 2012 presidential election, facing a huge number of issues and challenges to the country immediately, but Tweety declares that we are close to the 'fish or cut bait' time for all Republicans to decide whether or not to challenge Obama for the presidency.

Hooookay. I guess he'd rather we didn't remember that back in 2007 (mind you, only a year from the election), Matthews had decided for all of us that Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton would be the Republican and Democratic nominees for president. How'd that work out for you, Chris?

:rofl:

So it is with a rather large grain of salt that we look at the bobbleheads' choices at the top of the Republican slate, tellingly segregated into the non-secular and Christian Conservative brands. On the non-secular side, we have Mitt Romney (huh?), Tim Pawlenty, Haley Barbour and Jeb Bush. On the Christian Conservative side, there's Mike Huckabee and the one who sucks the oxygen away from all the others: Sarah Palin.

Bottom line for anyone who actually cares about being accountable for being correct instead of pulling opinions from their posterior, it's much too early to know much less predict the 2012 primary outcome. There are so many possible factors that could or will change.

But that won't stop Tweety & Pals.

1. Matthews is always wrong

and then never acknowledges he was wrong. He is constantly making these predictions that are wrong and then pretending he didn't do it.

2. what else is new thats all he talks about is Palin running for President

3. Matthews is a moron. We're talking about a man who worked as a speech writer for Carter, then ....

admitted that he voted for Reagan while being employed by a Democratic president.

I am still curious to know why NBC keeps this guy employed. He's not objective like a real journalist, he's not liberal like Rachael and Keith, and he's not entertaining like Joe and Mika.

NYT magazine ran a three page article on Matthews. The in-between parts tells a lot about the man's character.
