Based on ratings we know that few people watch MSNBC. But are the few trolls that do really listening?
At the 6:00 mark of the clip below (please skip ahead to that point and save six minutes of your life you’ll never get back) MSNBC’s Chris Matthews recalls the good old days in politics when horse racing metaphors like “front runner” and “handicapping the race” were used instead of war metaphors.
But he wasn’t waxing nostalgic without an agenda, he was using it as a setup to launch his daily attack on Sarah Palin, for using bullets and gun metaphors such as “bullseye” and “reloading.”
“Why?” Chris beseeches the gods, “why is Sarah Palin sticking to her guns? Why does she keep talking like this?”
Yes, while criticizing Palin for using gun metaphors Matthews used a gun metaphor.
We give up. At this point, we admit that we can no longer comprehend what’s happening on Hardball.
Is Matthew’s duplicity so ingrained that it spews forth naturally, irrepressibly, without forethought or calculation?
Or has his Palin Derangement Syndrome reached such an advanced stage that it has officially rendered him psychotic?
