Chris Matthews, it's easy to criticize * and his government now.
Back when it would have made a difference, all you could do was get a thrill up your leg and comment on *'s "sublime manliness" or some such vaguely erotic hyperbole. When we out here kept saying that his government was lying to the nation and doing us a disservice and shredding the Constitution, you sucked up to the power structure. You did not report truth.

Just watching you get all outraged over Rummy and Gonzalez and Rove and a few other of these criminals makes me feel physically ill. The harm has already been done and many have suffered and died while you kept your access to the DC cocktail circles intact. You don't get a pass on this either.

MSNBC host Chris Matthews stated that President Bush sometimes "glimmers" with a "kind of sunny nobility." Matthews, frequently characterized by conservatives as a "liberal," made the comment during a discussion with Washington Times editorial page editor Tony Blankley of the effects on the Bush administration of the investigation into the leak of the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame.

From the October 24 edition of MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews:

BLANKLEY: Well, there are bad and there are worse. First of all, I think that perjury proven beyond a reasonable doubt is a serious felony. I thought that seven years ago about Clinton. And I will think it this week, if that charge comes down and if the evidence supports it against Republican officials. But I think that the real question the White House and the president, personally, has to decide, presumably in the next several days, is how they're going to respond to whatever does come out, presuming it's not going to be a total clearance. And in that regard, I think the president would be ill-advised to try to minimize anything. I think he needs to make a clean break and set his administration looking forward and not get defensive. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. The evidence is either going to be there or not. And if he continues to try to defend what is something which will be, you know, indefensible, if in fact there are indictments -- is going to be a mistake, and it will drag him down. What he needs to do is put together some new staff, admit whatever mistakes have to be admitted, and start moving forward. He's got three years left in his administration, and it's important for him and for the country that he be functional.

MATTHEWS: You know, Tony, there is in the past, it's not always there, but sometimes it glimmers with this man, our president, that kind of sunny nobility. How does he bring it back, because it hasn't been apparent for a while now?

9. It's even easier to criticize Chris Matthews.
Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 10:04 PM by laststeamtrain
Let me sum it up.

You're a lousy journalist & a fair weather friend.

You're intellectually inferior & morally degenerate.

Like the old whore said: "When you start coming with the customers it's time to get out of the business."
