In response to Republican ex-Gov George Pataki railing against the president and askin "What has Obama done?"
Matthews shot back, "Come on, if your guy had doubled the stock market from 6500 to 13,000, you'd be dancing on the roof! If your guy had killed Bin Laden you'd be giving him the Congressional Medal of Honor!"
Shut the fucker right down. Loved it.

(136 posts)Great line by Chris -- gotta hand it to the guy.
The Repug that he shut down was former New York Governor George Pataki. Pataki was handing him the usual repug lines about Obama's "failed leadership," high unemployment", blah, blah, blah,.... when Chris shut him up with that brilliant line.
Couldn't happen to a better guy.
Keep up the good work, Chris! You're doing all the good.

from airports to aircraft carriers. And I doubt if they're done YET. And no
prez has done more harm than him IMO.

A friend of mine is a great follower of AJ and I googled him and found references to RP in practically every entry. What gives?
Zambero
(8,974 posts)Sometimes a lie is so bad it becomes hilarious. Pataki was the sole object of this hilarity, in that no reasonably informed person could be expected to believe his absurd talking points. Being laughed AT is a very special insult, one that establishes the pertetrator of the lies as an absolute buffoon.

(25,699 posts)Even if Mormons drank alcohol, can you imagine anyone "having a beer" with Romney? God that would be awkward. He'd probably ask for a straw.

(25,771 posts)and not calling them on it,
Today I saw David gregory interviewing Steele or Sunnunnunnunnu or some other shit fucker who said that Obama had not done whatever it was and no follow up on the fact that his efforts to do it had been obstructed to hell.
CBHagman
(16,992 posts)...and the virtual chorus line of hypocrites talk about how much they care about unity and civility and the plight of the American worker. It would all ring a little less hollow if we didn't have a copy of their playbook from the past four years.
Good for Chris Matthews for ripping them a few spare bodily orifices.
