Freakin' Matthews on Morning Joe.

Jeez, haven't watched MJ in ages because they just get my blood boiling. But I thought I'd record it and watch after the election just to see some sad faces. There really aren't any, because they're all such shallow idiots that I'm not sure they care.

But Matthews doubled down on his idiocy of last night. Immediately whining he didn't want to talk about Obama's speech because he didn't like it and didn't want to piss all over the win. But then he followed up by freakin' raving about how amazing Romney's speech was. WTF? Seriously?

I just don't get the Romney speech. Maybe he's an honorary Irishman today so Chris is feeling the leg tingle, but wow. I'd hoped he'd get some sleep and stop with the dopey talk. But ... nope. Still there. Sure won't be watching him yap some more about mean ol' Obama and his lousy speech while he falls all over Romney. Weird. My joy is a little dampened.

..... Nah. I'm good. WE WON!!!! SUCK IT, MATTHEWS!

of breathlessly trying to figure out how the good republican party can regain power.

Seriously.

MSNBC, and absolutely no thought at all about how this president won a second term and what he is going to do.

One of the people was going on about how there wasn't the enthusiasm for the president that was there in 2008. This time it was just numbers and data.

To which I screamed: "YEA! That's why people stood in line for hour after freakin' hour after hour, until the early morning hours, to cast their votes. Because they feel duty but don't like the president anymore!"

Damn, do these pundits actually believe this crap they spew?

Don't answer that.

I thought the Mitt speech sounded more like a threat. You know, like the mob used to do with a smile and wish the good health of the family (as a threat to the family) That's how it sounded to me.

but I was genuinely appalled by him yammering on and on about Obama not "thanking" Clinton in his acceptance speech. Really, Chris? The first call Obama made after he got the concession call from Romney was to Bill Clinton to thank him for all his efforts and making that consession call possible.

Matthews was absolutely horrible to Bill Clinton during his presidency. Absolutely. Fucking. Horrible. You could tell he reviled Clinton back then and he never let a broadcast go by without making some kind of snide remark or insult about him. He treated Clinton like a fraud and I was constantly in a fury over his comments.

I watch Al, Big Ed, Rachel and O'Donnell almost every night but I can't stomach Matthews because I'll never forget how he treated the Big Dog back then. As you said fugop, "SUCK IT", Tweetie.
