Damn, it must be painful to be a Chris Matthews guest and have to sit there listening to his inane comments without rolling your eyes. Republican strategist Ron Christie was Monday night’s victim as Matthews explained not only how stupid Sarah Palin’s supporters are, but how intelligent his viewers are.
Both of them.
Matthews: Okay, do you know what I think she’s doing? Hey Ron…
Ron Christie: Yeah.
Matthews: …think about this, because I respect you. Do you know what I think she’s doing? I don’t think she is a thoughtful politician. I think she’s talking to people who don’t read newspapers, don’t pay attention to serious television broadcasts, whether the Lehrer Hour or anything like it or even this program, don’t pay attention to anything that’s even in the middle, who don’t have any effort at all to learn anything, believe her when she says they’re keeping the truth from us when the people who believe her are making absolutely no effort to find out what the truth is. So they’re willing to believe it’s somebody else’s fault. She’s in an interesting little game she plays with people.
We believe that Christie’s career as a Republican strategist is over. How can he ever overcome the fact that he’s respected by Chris Matthews?

Douchebag Matthews understands seriousness and civility like a spoon understands the taste of food.
I just wonder, how can Hardball be classified as an interview show?
To have an interview show, you must have a host that asks questions and lets the interviewees answer. In this case, we have a host who asks the questions and then interrupts the answers. Or when their answer isn't what he likes, he refuses to let them answer them at all.
A Chris Matthews interview usually consists of the following...
Matthews sets up the topic...
He then askes the question...
He then interupts the guest, talks over the guest...
He then has the guest comment on what he was'nt allowed to answer...
Rinse & repeat.
You see this night after night, week after week, month after month, & year after year. The people have seen this act, & they don't tune in. So why does anyone continue to sign his paycheck? He will never go any higher then he is now, & that ain't that high. His time will come.
Sooner or later they HAVE to include a laugh track.

One of Chrissy's finest moments...

If i am interpreting the Matthews quote properly, he claims his show is "in the middle". I am sorry, but that guy is so freaking far left, he makes Stalin look like Carlos Slim!
I love the lunacy of the left. It is so rich, and provides me with so much levity!
Sorry to say, Mathews is right- I was ashamed to find out that the Panama Canal was in Egypt
Did I miss something? I thought the Suez Canal was in Panama. So much for my pubic skool edukations.
'Smart People' sure say and do quite a lot of stupid things.
Is that a sign of super intelligence now?
Matthews has Palinile envy.
Are you saying he won't stand....... for Palin? He probably prefers the company of men, like Madcow and Moochell.
Liberals HATE it when you ignore them.
KEEP IT UP!
"Liberals HATE it when you ignore them."
And they hate it even worse when you put them over your knee and give them a good spanking!
What's not to ignore?
If Matthews is correct, then what I am doing here at IHTM.com everyday?
Chris, you'd be a putz if you had a putz!
Ruben, the Administrator and I ask ourselves that every day: What are all these people doing here? We never cease to be amazed by the growth in our traffic and we thank each and every one of you.
Now if we could just get each of you to visit ten times each day we could get our page views up to the point where we'd actually make some money on this damn thing.
I have recommended your site to everyone I know. Unfortunately, most of the people I know are illegal aliens who don't speek no Englaise and don't own a computer. But, thanks to $Bill Richardson, they have a New Mexico drivers license and a new pick-up truck!
Just kidding! There are a couple of teachers working in our local school that speak English and own a computer, with internet service too! I don't know if they will do you much good since they are very liberal, hug the world and a tree types, and I doubt they would visit this site more than once. Inquiring minds want to know, liberal minds only want to hear what they already believe.
Editor, you forgot to add, and if everyone just donated a dollar a month...
Donate here. (I'm such a pimp.)
I approve of your pimpish ways, and I support them.
Don't beg. It's unbecoming.
It may be unbecoming, but it paid off. Someone just sent a buck to us. Wanna go to breakfast tomorrow at the Salvation Army?
A buck? Keep going, Admin. We're on a roll.
I was just hoping to buy a cup of coffee today.
But you're a free enterprise pimp as opposed to a gummint sponsored pimp!!!
