Chris Matthews: Weinergate is no big deal, but those Republican sex scandals are horrible

To summarize Matthews’ position: Hey, Weiner didn’t get caught with another woman. This is nothing more than high school level embarrassment. A mere trifle. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Chris Matthews. In this video clip the MSNBC host downplays Anthony Weiner’s recent, shall we say, indiscretions. To summarize Matthews’ position: Hey, Weiner didn’t get caught with another woman. This is nothing more than high school level embarrassment. A mere trifle. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Well, may we suggest that you don’t move on too quickly. Because we’ve found a couple other video clips where Matthews seems absolutely horrified by the sexual hijinks of Republicans Mark Foley, Larry Craig and David Vitter.

First, here’s Matthews downplaying Weinergate:

The video clip above makes it clear that Chris thinks it’s no big deal that Anthony Weiner sent a photo of his weiner to a young man, but in the following clip he is horrified that Mark Foley asked young men to come to his apartment for a drink. He actually compares it to the last days of the Roman Empire.

And here’s Matthews calling for the heads of Senators Larry Craig and David Vitter.

We’d say Matthews is a hypocrite, but he’s on MSNBC so that’s probably not necessary.
