You may recall Hardball host Chris Matthews’ creepy exchange with CNBC’s Erin Burnett where he asked her to get closer to the camera so he could gawk at her and called her a knockout. Well, he was at it again Wednesday only this time he vowed his admiration of right wing hack Laura Ingraham. Apparently, Matthews has been a guest on Ingraham’s show and they’re good buddies.
One day after the 9/11 anniversary, Matthews goes from this emotional interview where he tears the war apart, to fawning all over one of the right’s biggest war cheerleaders. As Ingraham rails against pornography and pedophiles, Matthews drops this gag reflex-triggering quip:

Matthews: “Can I sing your praises? I’ll get in trouble for this, but you’re great looking, obviously. You’re one of the God’s gifts to men in this country, but also, you’re a hell of a writer, your books always do well, your radio show — I just looked at the numbers, you are up there, one of the top most listened to radio shows. I think you’re great, especially when you have me on, you’re fabulous Laura Ingraham, you’re great…”

No Trackbacks To “Chris Matthews Goes Girl Crazy Again“
Just plain creepy.
he needs to get laid, maybe he should catch a flight to Minneapolis!
Is this what Laura Ingraham is doing?

Every time I see Ingraham on the tee-vee, she has this crazy hateful look. She just looks to me like a truly miserable person.
What does this change? Believing that Chris Matthews was ever a respected journalist?
See my breakfast on the floor. Reflex action. Need to go lie down now. Dread to see how worse the next incident will be. Thank God I’m not afraid. Just disgusted.
the standard for “God’s gift” has dropped dramatically.
Am I the only one having problems with the sound of the clip?
Once you realize that when Chris Matthews says “you’re great”, it really means “you’re insane”, then everything will make a lot more sense.
And, I am not just putting up a joke here, I think this is REALLY what Matthews means. “You’re great” from CM is usually said while laughing and some crazy guest. I think it means they “are great” for ratings because they are nuts!
Someone please watch the SNL skits for examples of what I am talking about.
Just follow the money. . . the country means very little - it’s the paycheck !
I think tweety just does the ass-kissing (and he does a lot) just to keep them appearing on his show. He revels in the access and it helps his ratings.
She looked really pissed that he made a sexist remark to her.
Did he insult her on purpose?
“One of the top most listened-to radio shows” ????? Puh-leeze. Here in the Orlando area, she even gets clobbered in the ratings by Glenn Beck, of all people!
Logan Murphy-Ace Screen cap dude.
Laura has never looked more-erm-appropriate.
Great Chris…
“Speaking of the economic implications of our continued occupation in the Middle East and how that is affecting the morale of our military (and I may get in trouble for this, but) ….YOU’RE SO PUUUURDYYYYYY!”
Chris, masturbation isn’t a crime, but not on the air…ok?
Tweety is bi-polar.
You never know if you’re gonna get the good tweety, or the medicated, self-indulgent, horney-as-a-sailor, DeLay-lover.
My creepy 96-year-old uncle Chester used to feel up all the girls at any family gathering… Tweety reminds me of Uncle Chester, though Chester’s forehead wasn’t nearly as formidable.
Ingraham was complaining about how selfish Americans won’t have more children, while Tweety declined to point out the never-married Laura has NO children. I guess he was in too much of a state of rapture to notice.
For a prostitute she does look pretty good.
Matthews circa 1943: “Eva Braun, you’re a smokin’ hot Aryan mama! And your boyfriend’s book is selling like hotcakes! You’re both so great! Do me a favor — say heil to him for me!”
He seriously just can’t stop himself, can he?
Q: What Did Admiral Fallon call General Petreus???
A: “an ass-kissing little chickensh*t”
Hmmm. Fits nicely here.
Do people like Matthews and Ingraham breathe air? Do they have a cellular interchange? When they eat where does it go?
Do they think? If they think does that result in a feeling?
She makes me want to vomit.
She wrote a book called “Power to the People”!? Is the subtitle “People Who Already Have Power”?
I think, what with the comments about how the GOP candidates smelled and how he gushed over Gulliani, Matthews is simply a slut for ratings. I’m not certain if that’s better or worse than a regular slut, I guess I’d have to say worse, since his supposed real job should ideally involve respsonsible journalism.
Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism
#5. Rampant sexism. Beyond the simple fact that the political elite and the national culture were male-dominated, these regimes inevitably viewed women as second-class citizens.
Something is wrong with my keyboard…I can’t find the “piss on Tweety’s head” key.
Matthews is like a perp from Law And Order SVU. He waxes poetic about English Leather, candidates being Beefy, him and Chuck Todd fantasizing about Rudy, then he hits on Erin and Laura
rasta @ 27:
You nailed it.
Oh looky! The hot sexy blond wrote a book! Everyone buy a copy! Isn’t she so hot!???
Imagine Ingraham and Coulter in a 3 way with Matthews………
What exactly did Matthews say that wasn’t true? I mean, if her books DO sell well, and her radio show IS one of the top rated, and he indeed thinks she looks attractive, what’s the issue here?
It’s the 2007 year itch.
ckerst @ 31:
As long as you’re conjuring a vomit fest, why not toss in Michelle Malkin and Bill Kristol?
If I were her I’d be pissed too. First they find the flimsiest excuse to show Britney’s belly yet again then he interrupts and talks all over her comments.
Not a fan of hers at all but what’s the deal with Tweety?
cspazz @ 32:
Hehe. Uhm, because Tweety made it clear to her that he doesn’t take her intellect seriously. To him, she’s a blond hotty that somehow wrote a book that he’ll never read. She’s a novelty to him.
She looked pissed because she takes her book seriously.
the comment on the other thread was right on…it’s all about the ratings. tweety will play either side or hey! both at the same time-what ever. ethics smethics.
What is up with the MSNBC hosts? I watched Joe Scarborough berate his female co-host for being snippy this morning. I half expected him to ask her if it was that time of the month. Then, they had this video of the stock exchange reporter before the show with curlers in her hair and then Joe fawning over how wonderful she looked. Is it just MSNBC policy to hire misogynistic jerks? I nearly lost my breakfast this morning. Just creepy!!!!
I feel weird being a guy, and explaining basic feminism and sexism on a liberal blog.
ckerst @ 31:
… Right, I’m out to drink a gallon of bleach thanks to this mental image.
Weaseldog @ 39:
I stopped bothering a long long time ago.
The funniest part was how the single, childless Ingraham laid into liberals for not having large families.
Queen Koo-Koo Bananas.

cspazz @ 32:
Would you feel the same if it were, say, Diane Sawyer swooning, fawning, and giggling over, say, Brad Pitt?
Obviously the issue is Tweety’s a jerk and shows it proudly.
tweety, in such dire need of a blowjob allows ingraham to spew tons of bullshit
“to catch a predator” was/is without a doubt the worst of what this culture brings
that show wasnt about catching pedofiles as much as catching sad middle aged guys who were stupid enuf to think that some 16 year old would find them attractive…and as abc showed, the show itself was an awful scam
add to that the bs about the connection of pornography with being or becoming a predator
not one study has connected the two….
will someone please give this man a handjob before he gets on the air with another bleached blonde bim wingnut?
fabulous
Weaseldog @ 36:
Well, look at some of the comments already posted here. I think some of them would be a bit more offensive to her than someone not taking her book seriously.
Not that I don’t think she deserves some of those comments, but it doesn’t seem to make much sense for one to bash Matthews for bashing her, and then also to support the bashing of her by others simply because they post on the same website as you.
This site seems to have a problem with Chris Matthews - more so than seems appropriate.
Here is some pretty strong evidence that Matthews stands up strong at times and speaks truth when its most needed. If you haven’t seen this clip from two days ago its a must-watch!

mein kampf and the protocols of the elders of zion sold well too….but one doesnt praise the authors publically
ingraham is a wingnut fascist with tits
The political blogs need to get a grip on what is really important. Bush and Petraeus are putting on a full court press to maintain their stupid war, and C&L thinks that the trivial babbling of some cable talking head needs to be highlighted. I do not see why this is any better than the MSM diverting their coverage of the important global issues to cover the latest starlet scandel. How about dealing with the real life and death issues instead of dwelling so much on the trivial.
uncle joe mccarthy @ 48:
Does she tape them or super-bra them?
Liam @ 49:
agreed.
DDD @ 16:
Exactly what is expected of Tweety. What did I, and others, on an earlier C&L thead
say earlier this week when Tweety was being praised for his sensativity when interviewing
J. Biden? If you have forgotten…”He is a dog and pony show, a clown with many faces,
and should not be taken seriously in anything he says or does.” I was, naturally, correct.
Did I miss something, or did she kick him under the table?
Seriously……….I wouldn’t fuck her!!
