Is that a promise, Chris?

Tonight on MSNBC, mocking the notion that Hillary Clinton's e-mail server woes may eventually push her out of the presidential campaign, Hardball host Chris Matthews sneered that when that happens, he'd wrap his Hardball program.

KELLYANNE CONWAY, Republican strategist: ...I do want her to hang on. I do, and here's why. I worry that if she gets pushed out of the race too early, Chris, then, you've got Elizabeth Warren stepping in, she's got plenty of time to raise the money and take that mantle.

CHRIS MATTHEWS, host: You think that's going to happen?

CONWAY: But let's get back to the word electable. This is so important to a conservative like me to hear--

CHRIS MATTHEWS, host: Just before we go off into the crazy car again, do you actually think Elizabeth Warren is eventually going to go into this race?

KELLYANNE CONWAY: If Hillary is truly damaged and if she exits on her own, yes.

MATTHEWS: OK, thank you for the if.

CONWAY: Why not?

MATTHEWS: We're waiting right now-- No, no, there's a lot of if there. When Hillary Clinton quits this election, we're going to shut down this show, OK?

Christine better start packing.

[Rodamala]

The tingle is gone.

[umgud]

Say goodnight Dick.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

I’ll drink to that - and I don’t even drink.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Look at it this way Chrissy. You can start a new show called “Screwball”.

[hawkaw]

Wow, I can’t believe he said that.

[Pearls Before Swine]

A twofer.

Poor Chrissy will be listening to a lot of Bill Withers

Even more good reasons.

[FES0844]

That was funny. Still laughing!

[yarddog]

Of all the world’s jackasses, the biggest one there ever was or will ever be is Chris.

Except for the reporters that watch his program just so they can write about it would anyone notice?

I haven’t watched his program since the days of Slick Willie was under threat of impeachment and Matthews was saying he should be.

After he got recalibrated by the powers that be at CNN I stopped watching.

[Red Badger]

Will anybody notice?............

[blueunicorn6]

When the Democrat voters and the American Press finally wake up and realize that they’ve been played for suckers by these Grifters and Shills, then the con game will stop.

[RC one]

He’s a fing liar too.

[Objective Scrutator]

Does this fool really think that he’ll be shown mercy by the Clintons for endorsing Soetoro in 2008? If Hitlery becomes President and starts committing genocide on unprecedented levels, at least this little weasel will get his deserved comeuppance.

I think the staff are required to watch as part of their contract but other than that only a few relatives that haven’t been institutionalized will notice.
