Matthews gushes again: MSNBC host praised Bush's "brilliant political move"; derided Democrats as "carpers and complainers"

Before Bush had even delivered his November 30 speech at the U.S. Naval Academy, MSNBC host Chris Matthews used variations of the word "brilliant" twice to describe it, while deriding Democratic critics of the Iraq war as "carpers and complainers."

Matthews's history of over-the-top praise for Bush and his administration includes his recent false claim that "{e}verybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs"; his statement that Bush sometimes "glimmers" with "sunny nobility"; his claim that Vice President Dick Cheney "hit home runs" throughout his 2004 debate with then-Sen. John Edwards; and his comment that the debate was like "a water pistol against a machine gun."

From MSNBC's live coverage of Bush's November 30 speech:

MATTHEWS: Well it's, we'll have to wait and see how the president delivers it. Clearly, the president still wants to stay in Iraq long enough to build up a democratic government. That has been his goal since the beginning. What he's contending with, of course, right now is the public-opinion problem he has, where two-thirds of the American people don't like what he's doing in Iraq right now. And a lot of that has been bolstered and stimulated by Cindy Sheehan -- that's the -- that's the mother of the soldier who was killed in Afghanistan -- and of course Congressman Jack Murtha {D} of Pennsylvania speaking for the soldiers, coming out and making a case for an immediate pullout, or a very quick pullout.

son in college...would he like to offer him up for *'s war?
Somehow, I think not!:grr:

Fuck you, you partisan sack of human shit! The only time your Balls get Hard is when you see a picture of the Chimp speechifying and waxing idiotically.

Tweety should write fairy tales. :eyes:

What people like Tweety and Wolf don't seem to realize is that Jack Murtha speaks for Middle America. Bush just speaks for Bush -- and the oil companies. We have to listen to this shit on the airwaves, and it is absurd -- a popular revolution is going on under the very nose of our media and they're not reporting it.

mealy-mouth someone, at least get your facts right.

Regarding the carrier landing, I remember Tweety going on and on about how great Dumbya looked in a uniform. It was real spooky, like he was a little schoolgirl with a crush on Bush.

him exactly but it is not up yet, so i'll have to paraphrase), that he likes a man who tell it like it is... and that today GWB told it like it is!

excuuuuuuuuse me? tweety matthews has become an even greater bold liar than GWB.

He has the wet lips characteristic of a pretty hard-drinking kinda guy. Several times I've noticed him slurring words--maybe he's got a problem?

i heard jack cafferty going on about how bushs speech was brilliant and confident and sure to bring his approval up 5 points and then the other fool (maybe it was blitzer) agreed.


I listened to the same joker they did this morning and it was just more the of the lying buffoon he always is. his stupid script had nothing new and was more of the same terror terror 9/11 stay the course no cut and run bullshit.

what the hell is the matter with these idiots? its like they got their talking points this morning with a bag of cash.



and what the hell is with ""Clearly, the president still wants to stay in Iraq long enough to build up a democratic government.""

democratic government? are you as stupid as you look chris?
bush never met a democracy he liked. he doesnt believe in democracy.

His blind adoration for Preznit Katrina makes me want to yak.

Propaganda only works as long as it's believeable- and reality is quickly catching up.

that says it all

that is all he kept talking about regarding the chimp's speech. The Dems were being set up in a "mouse trap" as if * was some sort of brilliant military tactician. I just wanted to grab his fat tweety head and scream STFU!.

What the hell? Why is he so in love with Bush past all reason?

gushing about the moron's speech. He was is was inspiring, the best speech Bush has ever given.

know why!!

I find it hilarious that he thinks his pronouncements are commonly-held views. He gets it wrong so often and sounds like a groupie.

Do people REALLY think Tweety will someday become Fair and Balanced if you watch enough? Turn that FUCK off and watch Olberman....

... I think he has a vaginal infection.

to come up with a plan for victory in Iraq only five years after deciding to invade that country and only a little less than three years after launching the invasion. Although any rational adult would have developed such a plan prior to the invasion, for Bush and Cheney to take only a few years to do so says a lot about them.

Must not have gotten over that image of his hero in the flight suit...

good stuff.
