Hardball! Chris Matthews Beans Kitty Kelley; Admits She has not a Single On-Record Witness

Hardball-MSNBC

[Howlin]

As usual, your report is dead on! Thanks.

He is polite with the left and screams at the right!

I agree that Matthews was exquisitely polite with Kelley, in contrast with his extreme rudeness to Michelle Malkin. But in this case, his manners were really a trap, putting Kelley at ease and perhaps off guard, all the better to destroy her in the end.

My pleasure, Howlin. I appreciate your comment.

It is only a rumor, but I've heard that Kitty has absolutely nothing between the ears, has had multiple constructive surgery (possibly even a sex change), is drunk every evening, and sleeps around with any "thing" that will have her, embezzles money,....How am I doing?....Have I got all her talking points in yet?...Do you think I can get a book contract? ;^)

I am wondering if Mathews is going back into his 2000 election mod where he almost gave up on the dims.

I love it when they eat their own!

Call me a cynic, but the issue here is that both Lauer and Matthews have allowed Kitty free publicity and air time to put out all of the rumors about GW and Laura. So what is she has doesn't have first hand people on record - "it's the rumor, stupid".(of course I don't mean our Freepers).

Just the fact that she puts doubts in people's minds about both of these fine individuals, makes me livid. But that's the point, isn't it?

[tioga]

you mean he actually read this book? wow

You know what's always amazed me about Bush 1 and his time at the CIA? He was only CIA director for 11 months! Yet, the left always attributes all kinds of illegal, nefarious stuff to Bush 1 and his stint as CIA director for 11 months. And how long ago was that?

I watched Matthews briefly and he really did tie that witch into knots.

I hate that I missed it.
Will it re-air tonight?
I began thinking after the Lauer interview as well as how "Old Media" has actually been covering Rathergate that the left may well be reaching their last survival instinct, and that is to eat their own. They will begin killing off their "weakest/most blatant" such as Dan Rather and Kitty Kelly.

Perhaps but any reasonable person with half a brain is going to look at her, listen to the comments that she cannot substantiate and then tune her out. If they take her seriously then they were voting Kerry anyway is how I look at it.

Did anyone see Chrissy with Seymour Hersch? He said Arab beheadings of Westerners in Iraq is equivalent to panties on the heads of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Hersch*t agreed.

[BlueAngel]

I saw it, too. Good interview from Matthews, for a change.

[Arizona Carolyn]

So, does this mean I have to write an apology letter back to him? I didn't watch and wrote telling him I was never watching again since he was having that woman on his show...

[Dane]

I wonder how much money Kelly gets for peddling her lies? What ever it is it's too much

It was reported kitty litter got $4 million in advance.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Will it re-air tonight?

FOR ALL THOSE IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE, HARDBALL REAIRS TONIGHT AT 11 PM.

[small voice in the wilderness]

I would not have believed this so easily had it not been you who reported it. Maybe he's heard rumors that no one, NO ONE, can tolerate O'Reilly much longer, and, well...
