Michelle Makin appearance on "Hardball"

IIRC Laura Ingraham mentioned on her show today that they had done a word count on the interview and that Matthews had spoken more words during the segment than Michele and Willie Brown combined.

Matthews is a sphincter...

Only electro-shock therapy can cure the condition.

So you're saying that Chrissie's self-medicating with a daily fifth of Bushmill's won't help?

[go-ken-go]

Why didn't she set Matthews straight about what the 'self-inflicted wound' really meant? I've seen her speak, she's usually much more sharp.

Mmmmm... a pig roast sho' nuff smells mighty good!

John eFing Kerry's military service in Vietnam pales in comparison to

what he did when he came home!

I think we have enough to make the case that Chrissie's a racist. Or anti-immigrant. Or intolerant. Or a male chauvinist. Racist is probably the most inflammatory though, so let's go with that. Anybody else on board with that?

Chris Matthews is trying to get his ratings up. He will say or do anything.
I will not watch him again. I hope every freeper will join me and not ever tune in to hear this blabbering lib attack good decent people.
Enough is enough. STOP HIM!!!

Or knocking back on the Jamisons.

Great minds think alike but we must settle on the brand.

I hope every freeper will join me and not ever tune in to hear this blabbering lib attack good decent people.

I can't boycott a show I don't watch.

OTOH, I guess I'm already boycotting Slimeball/Hairball.

It would do most good to complain to Matthews' advertisers about his sexist and racist behavior. Michelle is after all both feminine and Asian. If a Republican had acted like Matthews, all hell would have broken loose.

Here's my letter to Hardball:

To the Hardball staff aka Kerry Campaign:

Chrissyfit Matthews, if he were a decent human being, would humbly apologize on his August 20th show to all his viewers, to Mr. Thurlow, and, most of all, to Mrs. Malkin for his disgusting, foaming at the mouth display on August 19th. However, I have little hope that Chrissy could ever be decent or humble. We know from last night's on air emotional seizure that he can never be fair.

At one time the mainstream media in this country at least attempted to fake, on occasion, that they were somewhat fair and balanced. Now no attempt is made. Not even attempt to be courteous to the guests that are invited on programs. That is the most infuriating part.

Instead, the guests, if not in agreement with the host, are badgered and talked over. Words are put into a guest's mouth and then they are not allowed to reply. Books are not read and, if the host does do his research, facts are distorted or ignored.

I was totally disgusted by the whole frenzy of the August 19th show. I was sincerely hoping Mrs. Malkin would have slapped Chrissy in the face or grabbed him by the collar or ear in order to momentarily stop his convulsion then told him to "quit spitting on me because rabies shots are painful".

Well I hope Keith and Chrissy have fun giving each other kudos for their nastiness to their guests. It shows the mentality that permeates MSNBC--not a mature place to be sure. The only thing that comes to mind is Lord of the Flies because obviously the adults in charge have left the building.

Here's the Malkin thread from last Friday where she discusses the ambush. The thread also includes many links to other FR threads discussing what happened to her last Thursday. It was really disgusting to treat guest that way.

P.S. The last sentence of the post was not included in my letter--ha, ha.
