Chris Matthews says that Condi Rice acts like Bush's butler

ATTENTION ALL:

Another Freeper watching Chris Mathews implode in his pre-game show!

Howard Fineman said it's all Condi's fault, that as National Security Director it was her responsibility to put all the info together and inform the president. Then Chris says, all she did was try and be interested in what the president was interested in...sort of like his butler !!

He really said that!!! I sure hope Rush was listening....just imagine if a republican or Sean, or Rush had called a black democrat little more than a "House N-word" That's what it was..that's what Mathews was implying,and believe me, he knew immediately what he said, because he added, "I say that advisably".

Can't wait to see if Chris Mathews takes heat for this!!

BTW....Fineman and Mathews agree that Tenet is safe...that he's a "made man", a la mafia. How's that for another ethnic slur!!

[Huck]

I used his tip line window on the site, just typed a quick summary of the item and a link. We shall see. Anything to undermine that fat loud obnoxious POS Chrissy and his butt buddy Fineman. Sorry for the coarse talk. Chrissy does it to me.

[YaYa123]

Appreciate the Dr's confirmation. I'm trying to get through to Rush. wish me luck!

I emailed MSNBC : "
"Shut Chris Mathews down before his head explodes!
Calling Condeleeza Rice no better than President Bush's steppinfetchit butler was disgusting!"

Interestingly enough, what I have witnessed is the exact polar opposite of the racism I've seen up north. The races treat each other with such dignity and respect - polite, sweet, talking with each other.

It's been an eye opener and pleasing to watch.

Mr. Mo1 grew up in Alabama .. I noticed the same thing when we were first married and would head down south for family visits

[Peach]

That's not course talk - it's how we all feel!

There is literally NOTHING that any Rat could ever say or do that would earn them public condemnation from the liberal media.

Yet because the media is owned by "corporations", the rabid radical left assert that the media is biased right. In fact, this racist outburst by Chris Matthews will probably be cited by FAIR as "proof" that Chris Matthews is actually a "conservative".

[StarFan]

I'll be interested to see if even one other person besides me was watching MSNBC as the hearings began.

I tuned in to see if it would be another Matthews Fineman love fest and heard his comment. It gave me pause but when one considers that Matthew's rhetoric is filled with analogies and that butlers are usually white men, I thought it was a poor choice of words. On reflection the fact that it gave me pause was a red flag.

[rintense]

Yes.

[MasonGal]

I really think Chrissy has lost his mind.

I think he has the hots for Kristen - one of "The 9/11 Widows".

Do you think he'll ever have Ted Olson, Lisa Beamer and others for "their" point of view on the 9/11 hearings? I think not.

Matthews makes me sick to my stomach!!

[Ciexyz]

What a garbage thing for Chris Matthews to say.

[YaYa123]

Even before the "servant" comparison, I red-flagged at the Fineman-Mathews concerted effort to blame Condi. Not Ashcroft, not Tenet, these two were engaged in a lengthy conversation, all about blaming Condi.

Starfan...Condeleeza Rice may have absolutely no interest in elected office, but the left has to fear the possibility that she might have, or develop higher goals. How awful would it be for a conservative black female to end up outshining Hillary, or for that matter, for the republicans to beat democrats to the punch with a black female Vice President.

I believe I heard Chris tell Gorelick that maybe she would be the next AG (Barf).

[Two-Bits]

Hi, Please take a moment and either call the President or send an email to let him know we, the American people back him. Also, if you could just tell one person to do the same and ask them to tell another, than God willing, we will flood the switchboard with calls and faxes like they have never seem. This is one way we can take it direct to the President and it can not be misled by the media or stupid polls.....
Please call or email and God bless:

[SZonian]

Got it here as well.

Matthews acts like Ted Kennedy's houseboy - which is worse?

I thought he was Barney Frank's houseboy.

[F.J. Mitchell]

" He has no balls at all."

Yes he does, he has a couple of little balls he rolls around in his hand, (ala Capt Quig.) as he mumbles to himself, when his Dems are skating around on thin ice.

[reflecting]

Chris Matthews infers that Sec. Rice acts like President Bush's Butler. Is that liberal speak for "Mammy"? ... or possibly "house slave." It seems Mr. Matthews racism is slipping out.

Later he mimicked her by using in a pseudo feminine voice and batting his eyes.

Dr. Rice is a serious person with serious credentials but apparently Christ Matthews can't get past her race or her gender.

I believe he and MSNBC owe Sec. Rice an apology.

Sincerely,

[eleni121]

A pig? If it acts like one and talks like on yes, even looks like one--then it must be one!
There is no other way to describe him and his comments.

Fineman and Mathews agree that Tenet is safe...that he's a "made man", a la mafia.

And as proof they cited ... ?

[GretchenEE]

What are FMP's?

[GretchenEE]

On the subject in a different vein, Drudge has a lead story that "After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems."
