A cocky Chris Matthews on Monday dismissed the possible 2012 Republican presidential nominees as a "dog pound" and a "pig pen." The Hardball host briefly mentioned candidates such as Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty, but focused mostly on Donald Trump and lesser known individuals like Herman Cain.
Talking to Republican strategist John Feehery and former Hillary Clinton aide Mark Penn, Matthews mocked, "This looks more, sounds more like a dog pound than it does like a group of people running for President."
The cable anchor then ran down a list of Trump, Cain, Newt Ginrich and Michele Bachmann, asking his guests if these people could be elected President. Matthews left off Pawlenty, Romney, Mitch Daniels and other possibly strong nominees. Later, the host berated, "You've got a majority of your guys in this pig pen are unwinnable."
In a moment of introspection, Matthews wondered, "We're sitting here talking about candidates who are wasting our time. Is it my fault or yours, John Feehery?" CHRIS MATTHEWS: We're looking at the actual announced candidate in the Republican Party. You're laughing again. Buddy Roamer, former Democratic governor of, what, Mississippi, Louisiana, Herman Cain, business guy down in the-- he's the Godfather pizza guy from Atlanta. Who else? Rick Santorum. You know, you really don't have a lot of winners out there ready to sign up. The question I have, if you have a debate right now, who would show up for it? Who would actually be out there in the debate?

Chrissy, you are a 2 year old litter box in a multiple cat household...
Chrissy has a man crush on the Marxist.
Hate to say, but I’m agreeing with him. The GOP, it seems, is determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of an easy victory with the slate of vanilla-flavored pabulum hucksters in blue suits that are running. God bless Mr. Cain, but he’s a virtual nobody in this race at this point and unless he develops a following outside of FR and Drudge he’s not going to carry his own home Congressional district, let alone the country. I’m hoping that Palin throws her hat in the ring for this because outside of Palin the GOP doesn’t stand a chance.
What? Doesn’t at least one of them give him a thrill up his leg?
Right on script, Chrissy. “Demonize the opposition.” We know you’re scared for the o-boy/man. He’s really a wienie, huh, Chrissy? Such a sad-sack empty suit.
CHRIS MATTHEWS – always eager to get the ‘cheap’ laugh. He fails at being an entertainer, a journalist, a talk show host.
Q. What exactly is he?
A. A shill for the democrats.
I never thought I would think a pig sounded better than a current president, but a pig would be far better.
People that look like Porky Pig should not throw stones.
That’s President Pigpen to you dirtbag.
Pray for America
Now THERE's a mental image I don't want to have!
Meanwhile his candidate, an encumbent president, is facing an onslaught demanding inquiry into a fradulent identity, fraudulent use of a SSN, fraudulent land deal with patron Tony Rezko, fraudulent involvement in Pigford II, etc. etc. etc.
Chrissy better ask Rosie O’Donnell about crossing Trump. Can you say ghetto beatdown?
MSNBC's Chris Matthews
Liberalism Makes People Stupid!
I NEVER watch this a$$wipe anymore. I used to when Clinton was president. Who would have thought at the time that we could do so much worse?
I hate to agree with you but it appears that the blind squirrel found an acorn. While it’s true that he is particularly nasty, he does happen to be right here and I hate the choices too.
