Wow Chris Matthews is just dreadful
I haven't watched Tweety lately but whoa is he bad. I couldn't believe his embarassing performance. First there was the interview with Sharpton and then the horror story of his panel with Kate O'Beirne, and two others. One was a former employee of Hillary Clinton and the other an African American columnist from the Washington Post. He talks over guests, he is downright sexist toward women (calling one of his panelists pretty and saying when you giggle I will listen to you). He talked over his African American panelist when he pointed out that articulate has been used to describe the likes of Powel, Rice and Obama but not Jackson and Sharpton. It is a total disgrace. We expect nonsensical tripe from FOX but Matthews is just awful.

2. He's been made up to look like a cadaver lately.
Strange makeup. Maybe he's sick.

4. maybe he is sick
I saw him a few days ago and he had spit or drool on his chin. I thought maybe it was a scar but when he came back it was gone. It wasn't a dribble, it was big and thick.

11. Life must be great, huh?
His eyebrows were all askew the other day, and they're a different color every night. He's having a daily make over and it ain't working.

10. Following the all nite election coverage, where KO was trying to get him to eat a donut or something
Guess he let his numbers get out of line...he was hospitalized for several days; Barnicle took the show for that time...

3. And you DON'T expect nonsensical tripe from Tweety?
Mr."We're all neocons now."

Mr. Sunny nobility of smirk.

Mr. Orgasm over Bush's codpiece?

WTF?

14. This is the first time I have watched him in months
I largely did so due to Daily Howler coverage which I wanted to see if it was as bad as he was saying.

7. He has occasional high point
Edited on Thu Feb-01-07 10:34 PM by StClone
But I cut him some slack compared to anything on CNN or on the other dregs. He has a serious medical condition and because of that, rightly or not, I attribute some incoherence to it. I think MSNBC is allowing him to ride awhile (through '08?) and will push him out of prime time to intermittent appearance on into retirement.

16. Even more important - the Scooter trial.
Tweety's name came up in testimony yesterday (Scooter's notes from conversation with Mary Matlin) and the fact that Mary said Tim Russert hates Tweety. Why no coverage of the trial - esp. since he is part of it. He seems a frightened little boy and afraid of the truth - like any garden variety bully.

18. I don't watch the sob, and I don't think any Democrat should
I remember his trashing of Al Gore. He drools when he thinks he can get some dig into either Clinton. He likes to play the role of antiwar hero now, but his behavior when chimpie landed on the Abraham Lincoln to a mission accomplished was more like homo erotic swooning than reporting. He'll never get back to even normal in my eyes. Fuck the son of a bitch. He is living proof that this country is more poorly served by its political reporters than any other country on the planet.
