Chris Matthews

According to the Web site Media Matters, MSNBC host Chris Matthews has a history of drooling over female guests. For example, on Jan. 4, Matthews told Elizabeth Edwards, "You've got a great face, Elizabeth. I love your smile. ... I'm sorry. I don't want to patronize you. You're great." To Laura Ingraham, Sept. 12: "I get in trouble for this, but you're great looking, obviously. You're one of the gods' gifts to men in this country." To CNBC's Erin Burnett, Aug. 10: "You're beautiful. … You're a knockout."

Matthews also recently apologized to Hillary Clinton for saying that the "reason she may be a front-runner is her husband messed around." It's ridiculous for Matthews to have to apologize to the women he's interviewed. What he needs to do is treat the guys equally.

*****

To Rudy Giuliani: I love the smile. Guys, can we get a tighter shot of his face? Close in on the eyes. Oh, yeah. You're beautiful. You're a dreamboat. You're America's Mayor. I bet Judi took one look at those high beams, and, bam, you were in the sack. Am I right? Look at him! That's a 9-1-1 smile! Dial 9-1-1, somebody! I'm having a heart attack.

To Mitt Romney: Governor, I want to ask you a question, and I suspect that someone out there will fault me for this, but here goes: Do you know that you are absolutely delectable? I'm not just talking Mormon looks. You've got the Catholic look. You've got the Protestant look. After the show, can I have an article of your clothing?...

4. No -- I think the writer made up the comments about the men --
but Tweety seems so unhinged that they're entirely believable. And the writer has obviously been listening to Tweety's loony stream-of-consciousness manner of over-the-top speaking.

2. His nickname would be "Mumbles" ...
because a guy would kick his fucking teeth down his throat.

6. Oh my God.
That is a riot, and makes a damn good point about his sexism.
