Chris Matthews Scolds Media For Getting Too Cozy With Bush: Forgets his own behavior

video_wmv Download | Play video_mov Download | Play

Chris Matthews took time out of covering fake scandals and reciting GOP narratives on Monday’s Hardball to take a dig at members of the media who attended this year’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner:

“…It’s one thing to gather for events like this in Washington, it’s another one to laugh and applaud - to be charmed when the president puts on a little show. It’s harmless stuff, except that the people yucking it up in that scene are the people who are professionally committed to calling it when the people in power get it wrong.”

Where do I begin? When it comes to boot licking and heaping praise on some of the worst politicians, (current, former AND indicted) pundits and candidates to ever darken Washington D.C., Matthews, the Village Idiot, knows no peer.

Jesus Hussein Christ tweety! How much of a jerk can you be? You are without a doubt one of the most egregious bush lickers in our sorry MSM. Surely, tweety, you remember your gushing orgasms over bush when he showed up on the aircraft carrier during his ill-timed “Mission Accomplished” photo-op?

Pot - kettle - black

Tweety forgets so soon so fast. Some one slap this dork awake and rub his nose in the same crap he laid down a few years ago. Yanno its rather funny actually to see the right wing numbnuts turn on thier own. And sooner or later those same fox or other crazies turn on each other.Where is anne? or michelle? tucker? billy? rush?

Tweety should have been on that carousel. He’s one of the biggest clowns out there.

tanglewood Says:

Let me count the ways to hate Chris Matthews. What an asshole he is and yet, he has no shame. If I had been the subject of that article on the cover of the NYT’s 2 weeks ago, I would be so ashamed, I wouldn’t show my face.

The nation is circling the drain, and he is now talking about a sideshow. No Matthews, the sideshow is Rev. Wright. Take the time to watch and LISTEN to the interview with Bill Moyers and then watch the address to the NAACP (you will not be able to run your mouth simultaneously, as you are to watch the 2 clips).

I hate the media in this country, in fact, they act like they are 10 years old. Disgusting, overpaid phonies.

Pol-Pot-O-Cheesesauce Says:

Mathews is proof that sometimes sperm and egg should never meet.

“Don’t do as I do, do as I say” Chris Mathews licks more than boots.

Ah yes… Tweety just flaps with whichever way the wind blows.

CM gets something right every once in a while. A room full of chimpanzees and electric typewriters will get something right, every once in a while.

Even the Chimp in Chief might get something right, given long enough. Maybe ten thousand years, we are out of time.

tanglewood Says:

11. I omitted in my screed, that god forbid, if Matthews actually listened to someone else he might just learn something for a change–something of substance.

May is Sweeeps Month for all the networks, I suggest everyone just stop watching these asses–their #s would tank so fast, they might actually get the message to start being serious and informative.

I think we are seeing the beginning of all these right wing cheerleaders distancing themselves from what and who will soon be war criminals and other categories of felons. “Who, me, I was against these people from the get go.”

Gawd, when it was clear as his lip gross that things were headed south he still rolled on his stomach for chimpy. At one time he used the froth coming from his mouth to lube up.

Man, how shallow. He just wants to keep his bs show.

Right on, the same asshole that gushed over Bushs’ “sunny nobility”. Barf me out, gag me on a spoon.

RIGHT….pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

I wondered how MSM suckups would play to Bush now that
his ratings are below the basement.

Oh the hypocrisy.

On MSNBC’s Hardball, during a discussion with Washington Times editorial page editor Tony Blankley of the effects on President Bush and his administration of the investigation into the leak of the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame, Matthews said “[S]ometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility.” [Hardball, 10/24/05]

“Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left,” adding, “I mean, like him personally.” [Hardball, 11/28/05]

“You get your picture taken with him. It’s like Santa Claus, and he’s always very generous and friendly.” He continued: “I felt like I was too towel-snappy with him,” explaining that Bush had noted his “red scarf” and remarked that he looked “preppy.” During the same show, Matthews stated: “If [Bush’s] gamble that he can create a democracy in the middle of the Arab world” is successful, “he belongs on Mount Rushmore.” [Hardball, 12/16/05]

Yeah Tweety , you’re certainly one to talk ; did you request the US government rename Rushmore to Bushmore yet , asshole ?

Occasionally even the biggest buffoon will utter the truth.

Is that really the best time to criticize him?

Otay Says:

Now if Bush smelled good in Aqua Velva, and had that mature air about him provided only by Depends sticking out of his pants backside, then it would be okay for journalists to cozy up to him.

When did Tweety “challenge the war hysteria” ?

When it was blatantly apparent that the Chimpy administration were lying daily that we were “turning a corner there” daily ?

But he sure loves him some of that McCain. Who wants to amplify the war hysteria.

Somebody somewhere convinced Tweety he has a chance someday to become a Senator from Pennsylvania. Since he now sees politics in his future, I suppose he’s just practicing the essential art of hypocrisy. He’s a twit. Forget about him.

Thanks for this. It confirms Tweety has multiple personalities.

Snowball Says:

Perhaps, McCain could also reject the Corporate Media’s PR constructed misleading narrative of himself as the moderate maverick, straight talking non-Republican Republican? Nah, we’ll never hear such honesty from the double-speak express.

Cindy McCain is the kind I could snort a line of mind altering barbiturates with. I’d dump my ailing aging ugly wife for a hot, blond multi-millionaire beer baroness who likes to party in a heartbeat. McCain’s my kind of guy.

Carol Says:

I wonder why he feels he has to flatter his guests at the end of each segment?
Is that the only way he can get them to come back?

Also, why can’t he keep from spitting and slobbering? It’s so gross.

spero Says:

Chris Mathews was the MSM’s loudest, most severe, and essentially only critic of the war before it even began. (As in, summer of ‘02.)

Also with the exception of Countdown, his show was probably the most tenacious in dealing with the Valerie Plame situation. So much so that the VP’s office made its now famous attempt to shut the program up.

I’ve also see him obliterate fascist torture cheer leaders as well as briefly take up the cause for Universal health care around the time SICKO came out.

Yeah, sometimes he says some wacky or off-the-cuff things, but christ, you people treat him like he’s sean hannity or something. I will admit though, I don’t watch as much anymore due to his show basically becoming a nightly campaign soap-opera report.

43
Lone Says:

Matthews inexplicably called Obama a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde tonight. Matthews, however, appears to be the one with multiple personaliities–one who loves Bush and one who disdains him. The Matthews I despise is the one who sucks up to Tom Delay.

Does this idiot do ANY blog reading? Is he aware of the stink he causes when he opens his mouth? I am so confused with this dumb ass, where to begin seems like the opening phrase.

Hey tweety…you ignorant slut….you are as much the problem as any other “news spinner”. You are such a dumb ass, you don’t even see yourself. LOOK…open your f*cking eyes and see what a shill and pathetic entertainer you are.

It’s nice that you see evil in others, but what about YOURSELF??? Are you there, tweety??

ciloisin Says:

It seems that Matthews interviewed McCain in 2005 on MSNBC and in that interview McCain was arguing for the exact opposite of his 100 years talk. There was no reason to stay long term in Iraq, he argued. HuffPost just have it as their lead now. How come Matthews never seems to have recalled the substance of that interview all this time and it takes the Huff Post to have to find it? Or maybe he conveniently forgot it not wanting to hurt his good buddy, McCain.
