With the latest sexual harassment news about MSNBC's Chris Matthews having to pay a $40,000 settlement to an assistant producer for Hardball in 1999, can anybody be really surprised? The reason is that Matthews over the years has a record of very strange behavior of a leering nature around women, much of it recorded for posterity. Two notable examples are presented below, starting with the the uncomfortable 2007 incident in which Matthews asked then-CNBC's Street Signs host Erin Burnett to lean in closer to the camera so he could get a better look at her (and presumably her chest).

Mike Cernovich posted that 30 to 50 members of Congress will soon be facing harassment accusations.

[Bodleian_Girl]

I’m a Cernovich fan. No regrets.

[Be Careful]

Remember when Matthews was caught on hot mic ogling Melania?

[Joe Dallas]

We have Congressmen that payed off women with taxpayer money.

Mathews at least used his own cash.

[Intolerant in NJ]

I wouldn’t put anything beyond a guy who gets a tingle up his leg from another guy - on TV no less....

[Pearls Before Swine]

Prissy Chrissy? Who knew?

[anton]

C’mon. He’s gay, right?

[surrey]

If I recall correctly, Scarborough used to make sexist comments about Erin.

[\/\/ayne]

Maybe he goes both ways.

We have Congressmen that payed off women with taxpayer money.

Alcee Hastings? If so then you live in my district.

[Ann Archy]

NBC PID....Spittin Chrisy did NOT use his own money!

[Joe Dallas]

In any case, he did not use taxpayer money.

[Pearls Before Swine]

If I recall correctly, Scarborough used to make sexist comments about Erin.

Back when Erin was a money-honey on CNBC, even I used to make sexist comments about her. But, in private.

[bigbob]

Yep doesn’t take much to get him goin’

Matthews has raised eyebrows before, notably during the 2016 campaign when he was caught on a hot mic checking out Melania Trump, wife to President Trump.

“Did you see her walk? Runway walk. My God is that good,” Matthews said in May 2016. “I could watch that runway show,” he added.

I would love to see morning Joe go down. He's the most sanctimonious man on TV

Isn’t Erin Burnett the one who was caught giving blowjobs to her editor for better assignments at SeeBS ?

[OrangeHoof]

Sissy Chrissie is a Catholic....a Pelosi/Cuomo Catholic.

[PJ-Comix]

Isn’t Erin Burnett the one who was caught giving blowjobs to her editor for better assignments at SeeBS ?

No. You are probably thinking of Dorothy Fuldheim.

[Ouderkirk]

This was in the 2004 - 2006 timeframe....not the 1960’s.

I remember seeing a “Got Milk” parody thing, and vaguely remember it being Erin Burnett, but my memory of it is not exact.
