Stop punishing yourself.

What did you expect him to do?

He asks a question, proposes an answer to the guest, then argues with the answer he made up, and all the guest has to do is sit there while Matthews has an entire conversation with someone who isn't saying anything.

Do you know what this is:



That's a plow. That's the kind of thing you used to hitch up to a horse or ox, and then cut furrows into the ground to plant crops.

In the early 1900's a boy was plowing a field on the Farnsworth family farm. As he went back and forth with the plow and the horse, he got the idea that he could use that back and forth action to draw a picture in the field by adjusting the plow along the furrows. Decades later, that boy, a boy named Philo, who was using a plow like that on the farm, Philo T. Farnsworth would become the inventor of the cathode ray tube - the picture tube that used to be the front screen of television sets.

After television sets were invented, the broadcasters came up with the idea to have regularly scheduled programs called "shows" on them.

Well, tonight, you are going to watch, on your television, a show. It's a show on MSNBC starring - a woman! On the show, a woman is going to talk about politics, on your very own television, thanks to Philo Farnsworth who figured out how to transmit signals as pictures to television sets by plowing a field as a boy.

The woman, on the show, on your television, is named Rachel, and she's going to be talking about politics, and sometimes about boys plowing fields on this show. They even named the show after her. They call it the "Rachel Maddow Show" and it is a show on MSNBC which you can watch on your television, and the woman, whose name is Rachel Maddow, is going to talk about politics on the Rachel Maddow Show!

can see him being this aggressive with Hillary, then you're being dishonest.

I wish Bernie would state that most of the people voting for him understand that Election Day would be just the beginning. We will have to continue to vote, canvass, send emails, and telephone our legislators. We need to have his back.

During the Shrub administration I "stoned" Tweety nearly as much as the Turdblossum-in-Chief. That's saying A LOT, given how much I despise(d) "W".

for the same reason. He just can't seem to shut up enough for a guest to give an answer. As someone said in another post, Matthews asks a question, answers it, and when a guest gives an alternate answer, he cuts them off and argues again. He's simply not worth watching.

Thu Feb 25, 2016, 10:49 PM

Chris Matthews was acting like Hillary's surrogate. Pushing Hillary's most effective attack line and then making it difficult for Bernie to simply reply. Not surprising given that Chris's politician wife has already endorsed Hillary and hopes to benefit from her endorsement. Then Rachel chooses to quote the portion of the interchange that she thinks will help her pal Hillary the most. Ugh!
