CBS Late Show host David Letterman took a humorous swipe at MSNBC's Chris Matthews Friday.
In a recurring segment riffing on Zogby polls, Letterman said that 51 percent of people supporting Mitt Romney are doing so because they "Want to see Chris Matthews cry like a baby" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Letterman: Half of Romney Supporters Just Want to See Chris Matthews Cry Like a Baby
DAVID LETTERMAN: Why do you want Mitt Romney to win the election? 23 percent said, “He'll fix the economy," he’ll fix the economy. 26 percent said, “Overturn ObamaCare.” And 51 percent said they “Want to see Chris Matthews cry like a baby.” He’s very, very histrionic that Chris Matthews.
To be honest, that's not one of my primary reasons - but I'm certainly looking forward to it.
For his part, this wasn't the first time Letterman's taken a swing at Matthews' pathetic biases.
After the first presidential debate, Letterman played a video of the Hardball host's head exploding. This came days after Jay Leno played a video of a straight-jacketed Matthews being taken away by men in white coats.
It's nice to see that it isn't only conservatives that think Matthews is a total joke.
Half?
Hardly. We ALL want to see that.
Works for me!!!!
That will be icing on the cake! Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm!
It would make me truly happy to see that maniac along with the “Morning Joe” Obama cheerleaders cry!
Maybe they will fire him after the election..
LOL! That is funny. Love that graphic of the poll. Heh heh heh.
Well, he’s right. LOL.
That is a really good reason
I think they’ll need a straight jacket for him.
There should be an “all of the above” category.
A quite anxious member of that 51%, am I.
I want to see all three unemployed!
And a bunch more!
I've been meaning to ask this question: what time (ballpark) do people think the election will be called? Assuming no Bush v. Gore debacle, of course.
I went to bed early for the last one because the outcome was pre-ordained (pun intended). I'm wondering if I should go to bed, and wake up . . . or just pull the all-nighter?
I wake up around 4:30am every day for work, that's why I'm asking.
Even a nasty dumbass like Letterman get something right once in a while.
Score one for Dave.
Dragged off the set by security screaming and slobbering would be much better.
That won’t get me back to Letterman, but it’s good!
Letterman’s just the same as he’s always been.
Must have hired a writer or two who doesn’t fly around all the time with his head Up and Locked.
I really don’t care what reason they use. Of course, seeing Hissey-Chrissey in tears IS an added bonus...
Nope. But that will be lagniappe!
That’s just a side benefit. I’m not going to watch any news until about 10 on election night. Then I’ll turn on FOX News and see. If Romney wins, I’ll switch to MSNBC and watch the hysterics. If Rebublicans win the congress, I may watch all night.
LETTERMAN IS RIGHT.
I’d say that that is a darn good reason. Get it on youtube for all of posterity.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly what I was thinking!
Chris’ tingle will be wee-wee.
Well, yeah, I’d like to see Chris cry like a baby. Chris says the darnedest things. But never underestimate the comedic possibility in Keith Olbermann going full Philip Queeg.
100% of Obama voters just want revenge.
Actually, whenever I watch CM on a tear....he forgets to swallow. Then appears this frothy ball of spit in the corner of his mouth. It’s quite hilarious to watch. It’s like he has rabies.
The part Letterman left out is that the other just want to see Letterman cry like a baby when his hero loses.
Not me, I want him to do his best Budd Dwyer impersonation.
Now that you mention it...LOL!
BUT 66% of Romney supports want to see Letterman have the BIG ONE right on TV..
Now thats entertainment..
I remember when the 2000 election was called after only 1 percent of the votes were in Florida and that didn’t include the Panhandle which is in the central time zone
Agree. He is disgusting with all the spit. I don’t know how his wife can stand it. I wonder if he gets all this wound up at home when the kids do something that ticks him off. He is going to have a stroke or a heart attack someday....maybe while he is on the air.
Chrissy will be drinking to forget Tue night. Angry drunk.
I want to see him transferred to Kenya to cover the upcoming Obama candidacy for president there.
Hey David Letterman ? We totally agree with you for once... except for the numbers parts.... not half.... ALL ! of us want to see Mr. BO-Tingles cry on election night.
I would not be surprised if the guy does something stupid. He’d better try to get a grip.
Now that’s a “ TINGLE “ I can believe in.
Works for me too!! I never watch him, but it might be worth putting up with his stupidity on election night, just to see him have a hissy fit.
If I had to bet. 2AM. At earliest, due to Ohio provisional ballots.
I can’t believe this guy once subbed for Rush
Cry like a baby? I want to see him scrabbleing around
on the floor like a cat covering crap on lanolium and
eating his own feces is sheer terror.
11:45 PM Eastern Time.
Yeah, and we all want Letterman to shut his stupid pie-hole.
He’ll get the biggest ratings spike his show has ever seen, just from all of us enjoying the schadenfreude live!
