Some people might think that striking a police officer, and almost striking a police car while driving under the influence of . . . something, are serious offenses.
Not Chris Matthews.
Here's how Matthews introduced this evening's Hardball, running down the rap sheet of various government officials who have had run-ins with the law in recent times:
"Tonight, putting on the squeeze, putting on the sleaze. Another House aide cops a plea in the Abramoff case. "Dusty" Foggo quits over the poker-and-prostitute scam. Bill Jefferson gets tagged by a witness wearing a wire. Claude Allen, the president's top domestic kick gets nabbed for shoplifting. David Savafian, his top personnel man [sic: he was in fact a procurement official] gets arrested. Then there are the Judge Judy level cases. Cynthia McKinney who punched a cop and Patrick Kennedy who almost ran into one."
Note that Chris had to reach back to September 2005 for the Savafian matter. But in any case, do you think Matthews would have written off the alleged assault on a police officer and the drugged-driving cases as trivial, "Judge Judy" matters if Republicans had been involved? Neither do I.
Hardbal/NewsBusters ping to Today Show list.
Matthews so belittled the significance of what Cynthia McKinney did, he pretended he didn't even remember her last name.
When a republican has been busted the majority of us (freepers) express they should get due penalties. When a dem is busted the defend/denial/lie/excuse and change-the-subject masters come out in full force. Anything but due penalties.
Let's get this out right away........It's Bush's fault!
Since I never watch that scummy guy, how did he treat the Bush girls drinking episode? What did he have to say about Rush? I am sure he treated them just the same being a serious journalist right? /sarcasm
If I recall correctly, his term for those cases was "death-penalty eligible" ;-)
If I were Chris Matthew's brother, I'd continually plead with him to please stop embarrassing our family.
Molohan? Shmolohan.
Evidently there is no one in Matthews family who cares enough to do an intervention on his behalf.

LOL. Candle is a nice touch ;-)
