MSNBC president Phil Griffin apologized Thursday after host Chris Matthews called Charles and David Koch “pigs” in a segment with Rep. Ed Markey Wednesday.
Griffin apologized for Matthews’ “crass language” to Mark Holden, general counsel for Koch Industries, Inc., according to Newsbusters. Griffin said that Matthews would not be required to apologize to the Kochs.
In the exchange Wednesday, Matthews called the Kochs “pigs,” and said he is in the “business of name calling,” after Princeton professor Michael Oppenheimer declined to join Matthews:
MARKEY: The Koch brothers want Romney, and Romney has promised, to roll back those fuel economy incentives. It endangers the planet. And it’s going to endanger young men and women who have to go to the Middle East to import the oil from there rather than backing it (ph).
MATTHEWS: Well, Professor Oppenheimer, back in the ‘60s, we called such people pigs. Pigs. No, really, they don’t care about the planet, they don’t care about the destruction of war. All they want is what they got, their stuff. And they want more of it. Is that what we’re facing here, just greed? I’m not talking about the guy working in the coalmine. That’s hard work. I’m talking about people who won’t listen to you, won’t listen to science because they want more stuff.

Phil, please don’t fire that crazy bastard.
Why won’t his family have him committed?
I wonder what choice words this rapidly aging (and rapidly fading) cable commentator will have Tuesday night?
At least don’t fire him until after the election. We need to see him cry.
Here’s what’s wrong with Democrats: When you are okay with baby killing, anything goes...
Tuesday night is going to be fun watching Chrissy meltdown before our eyes.
I’m Melting!
Matthews has gone complete nuthouse.
I can’t wait until Tuesday night to watch Fox with PMSNBC in
PIP. To see the contrast between the two will be total
hilarious.
Chrissy has gone down the same road Olbermann went down to Loonytoonville.
Why not fire the pantie waste?
An apology from that pig Chrissy Mathews wouldn’t mean a thing anyway.
Mathews and the rest of the fanatical left are showing their true colors as being crude and vulgar. It will get worse over the next 4 days until Romney is elected on Tuesday. At that point they will self implode and curl up in a fetal position, claiming vote fraud. Mathews sold his soul for the low cost bidder MSNBC.....
Matthews and Olbermann may be able to share a room at the sanitarium under Obamacare.

FIRE that lunatic piece of human debris.
I have speculated here for some time that Matthews' problems are the result of early onset dementia. If he is also an alcoholic, he won't be on the air too much longer, because he will become progressively (snort) more and more incoherent until he becomes an embarrassing freak show. Even shameless MSNBC lives and dies by ratings.
Speaking of pigs, how ‘bout those lavish White House dinners?
Chrissy lost his sanity long, long ago...it is the eventual demise of all hard core socialists, assuming they ever had sanity to begin with.
It goes beyond alcoholism, probably to dementia. He is one sick dude. The whole left wing in America is unhinged. Long time friends of the liberal persuasion are off the charts nuts over this election. I am keeping my cool and will decide after the election is over whether they are ‘friends’ or just ‘people I know.’
