Matthews Explains His Bin Laden "Sounds Like an Over-The-Top Michael Moore" Remark
NewsBusters ^ | 1/21/06 | Noel Sheppard

MSNBC “Hardball” host Chris Matthews got himself into some hot water Thursday evening when he suggested that Osama bin Laden in his recently released tape sounded “like an over-the-top Michael Moore here, if not a Michael Moore” (video link to follow). On last night’s installment, Matthews invited on MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough to discuss this issue in greater detail (video link to follow).

After being asked by Matthews if bin Laden was playing politician, Scarborough moved the discussion in a media direction: “You look at, like, for instance, him saying that George Bush went to war because of -- because he wanted to help his buddies out, his oil buddies out. Well, that sounds a lot like not only Michael Moore, it also sounds like Ted Kennedy who said this whole thing was invented, this war was invented in Texas by Karl Rove to help his political supporters out.”

Matthews then asked:

No one should surprised about any of this.

We know that bin Laden is on the the speed-dial of
the DNC talking points fax machine ...

... which is why the dems are so upset over the
foreign phone call monitoring.

SCARBOROUGH: Listen, if somebody can`t look at the words that bin Laden said last night and match them up with what Michael Moore said; with what John Kerry said on "Face the Nation" when he said Americans were terrorizing Iraqi women and children in their homes at night, which is what bin Laden, in effect, said; what Ted Kennedy has been saying that -- remember, he said after Abu Ghraib that Saddam`s torture chambers have been turned over to new management, U.S. troops.

And yet the country dares not speak of treason.

Wow, sorry I missed this show....my two favorite dimwits, Sissy Crissy and Stewpid Scarborough, both on the same show.
Darn, I could have shut them both off at the same time...those two together have an I.Q. of -9.

Once upon a time, back in the 1960's two gay sheepherder cowboys got it on. One then suffered a bowel blockage, and out popped these two!

That makes them A$$ho!e babies!

"OBL sounds like the Liberals!"

He's been listening to the Left. He hopes to influence American domestic politics, which ain't going to happen.
