Just in time for the new James Bond movie, Chris Matthews has earned himself a new moniker: Odd Job. Matthews says he sees his job as a journalist as doing everything he can to make the Obama presidency a success. Appearing on "Morning Joe" today, Matthews was reluctant to criticize Rahm Emanuel's kabuki dance over accepting Obama's offer to be chief of staff. The "Hardball" host (and presumptive candidate for US Senate from PA) was equally unwilling to see the Emanuel episode as evidence of a lack of planning and discipline in the nascent Obama administration.
An incredulous Scarborough kept pressing, astonished at such a complete 180 from Matthews's repeated insistence during the Bush presidency that he had to hold the government accountable. Once Obama assumes office, the "speaking truth to power" line we've heard so often during the past eight years will be a thing of the past.
HelenS These whores have been so obviously in the tank for Obama and democrats for so long that their apparent honesty about their partisanship and blatant shilling isn't even refreshing. It is just the stench that is finally overwhelming the sight of their dead and decaying corpses. Me - "The libs/dems of today are the collaborators, the Quislings, of former years. The cowards who would trade their souls and vote a fraud into office in exchange for a hand-out."
Cool Arrow Maybe the "person of ill-repute" remark is a little bit harsh given that prostitutes are known for faking their pleasure while Matthews is known for having genuine episodes of erotic giddiness.
I'm wondering because "making this presidency work" has NOT been his job for the past eight years! "To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary."
When the Dow goes in the crapper, because the people who have the money want to keep it and pull their investments back to gold bricks in that fake fireplace in the basement, and small business dries up because there is no gain in taking a risk, people will look around for who's to blame. I think Mr Tingle will get his fair share of blame and MSNBC will loose even more viewers. "An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last."
IamTinman Mathew 6:24 "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." You cannot be both a credible journalist and an Obama sycophant! Not that you ever were a credible journalist but this certainly is solid proof that you are continuing your man-love affair with "The One".
That's Matthews-scrubbing the toilets for Obama-being the toady that he is. Oh, here's another for Matthews (tingle up my leg) working for Obama-knob job. "I am the latte-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal."
It's your "job" to make sure Obami's presidency is a success. It's our job to make sure your ratings are so low that your loony bin network has no choice but to can your butt.
TheAssessor Chris has been nurturing that tingle so long he now talks like he's part of the administration. There's an obvious, very sick eroticism going on here which often happens when exposed to sociopathic narcissists. If BHO thrills him this much Chris is going to need steel reinforced knee pads.
MSNBC, CNN and ABC/CBS/NBC news' products temporarily boycotted in this home, so I rely on the blogs to inform me of the latest outrages in so-called journalism. Matthews speaks like a fool, but as long as there are citizens who believe that Matthews is a journalist....
Oh, I see, such support was conditional to the president being a Democrat. Why Chrissy, is that why you wouldn't say anything bad about Bill Clinton? What more proof does anyone need regarding the MSM being the PR firm for the Dem Party? Of course now Obama and the Dems say, let's make nice, the campaign is over and let's all work together. No sir, you want cooperation and trust, you got to have a track record that merits such a leap of faith. Leadership is about bringing people together for a common purpose. If you want followers then lead and don't blame people for NOT following when it is YOUR responsibility to engender trust NOT ours to blindly give it.
Iowa Boy With a new Obama administration and the MSM loosing advertisers and viewers like water through a seive, the next big bailout would have to be them. Conspiratorial, I admit but, they enact the Fairness Doctrine, first for radio to eliminate Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, Beck and such. Then apply the same principles to cable so you can bring FNC under control. "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain."
nkviking75 Most of the MSM thought it was their job to challenge George W Bush at every turn. They also thought they weren't hard enough on him when the subject of an Iraq war first came up. In their minds, they should have prevented the war, or failing that, they should have brought it to an early end. In some cases, they even tried to sabotage the war by leaking classified information. When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
Gary Hall Chris Matthews in 2001: CHRIS MATTHEWS: Yeah, well, you know what? I want to do everything I can to make this thing fail, this new presidency fail, and I think that -- JOE SCARBOROUGH: Is that your job? My job is to destroy this country - here and abroad - domestically and internationally - economically and socially. Clinton is leaving the country in shambles - an historic market crash will result in the projected surpluses being a fairy tale; we're bombing Iraq every day - but no inspectors and no plan; SCARBOROUGH: So you see your role as a journalist as both making sure that Bush is blamed for everything he is inheriting, and further more, that all of his successes and historic humanitarian efforts be kept out of the news?
TheAssessor Tingle has the kind of obsession with bho, that if the object of his affection rejects him, (the election is over.. Michelle isn't going to like him sleeping on the floor by the bed either.
this is your opportunity to pin down matthews and shame him as he deserves for this position (as a "journalist"). take a big stand, dig in, replay this over and over and over again for each of your guests if they agree - yes or no.
needle The good news here is that we actually caught Chris Matthews telling the truth! The bad news here is that he has essentially put us on notice that from now on what we should expect to hear from him is strictly propaganda. Messiah Serenading Nauseating B*ll S**t Impunitas semper ad deteriora invitat.
Teddy Chrissy and Olberdouche are gonna be the proud new papas of their "FOX NEWS, Sean and Bill O' get daily talking points directly from the White House!" Better hurry up to Massachusetts and make it official, boys.
east tennessee john The useful idiots in the elitists white guilt media did their job and we've elected our 1st Marxist President. What do you think they're going to do when that "test" that Biden mentioned comes to pass, and Himself doesn't act appropriately? My guess it'll be deserting Israel when push comes to shove over Iranian nukes. That will send a great message to the new democracies in Europe being threatened by Russia's expansionism under Putin and to our allies in Taiwan and South Korea. Show reruns of the past 8 years of anti-Bush shows, the "Best of" ,so to speak?
bailmeout I am with maggie although I took it a step further. I haven't only boycotted cbs, nbc, msnbc, pbs & cnn, any media personality, including actors have been boycotted if they have spewed negative comments regarding the country. If we stop, going to their movies, watching their talk shows, reading their books/newspapers listening to their music, we will make an impact. We have to be willing to give up what they call entertainment. I have a much more peaceful home since I made this decision. It is hipocritical to me to complain about what they say and then support them financially. People have got to turn off their TV's and stop looking for other forms of entertainment.
