I've criticized Chris Matthews several times this week, so it's only fair that I give him credit for doing the right thing tonight when liberal Mark Green went off on how corrupt the Bush administration is and started ticking off indictments:
MATTHEWS: Can you name a conviction, Mark?
GREEN: Hold it, hold it. What I said was
MATTHEWS: Can you name a conviction?
GREEN: One second. What I said was that six people three people have been indicted by the way Chris, if you and I have been indicted, it doesn't mean we're guilty, but we wouldn't trade places
MATTHEWS: No no no. I just want to know, when you call an administration has a, has a culture of corruption, I think you need one case of proven guilt, don't you? At least one case of proven guilt.
Green tried to bring up Jack Abramoff, but Matthews pointed out that Abramoff was not part of the administration and had gotten in trouble only after he worked for DeLay. Good for Matthews. I just wish he had shown a tenth of this aggressiveness with Cindy Sheehan. If you watch the video, stick around for Ben Ginsberg's point that all the Democrats can do is attack, because they have no positive agenda.

The Dims set their corruption mantra in place, with the bogus Delay indictment, and then starting calling all the unemployed Dim salespeople and warned them they had to help sell the new mantra or $$$ would not come their way next time. Green is one of their unemployed salesmen hoping to earn some new street creds.
"the leader of Gamma Trianguli VI, who goes by the name Akuta"
I remember that dude. I also recall he had some hot babes in his tribe. I think one had the hots for Kirk...but who didn't?
He knows that this is a losing strategy for the dems and wants it to stop now. The American people are a sound bite society, but most of them have it firmly entrenched in their minds that fairness dictates that you are innocent until proven guilty. The dems have trashed a lot of traditions in the last 5 years, but this is going way too far.
I've been sucked in many times by this crapola. I learned, once I learned I NEVER WATCHED HIM AGAIN...he's nothin' but a dembo political hack....
Remember Chrissy was with the commie carter WH, and to this day thinks carter did wonders for America...what did that communist do for America???
Thank God our next President was Ronald Reagan and turned this country back toward what our founders gave us.
Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dummer
It's sad that we have to give the man praise for doing his %8#@ing job!
Punch Nancy Pelosi and PAC into Google and see what you come up with.
Why you get a story where her PAC was fined 21K by the election commission for various nefarious crimes that Tom Delay's supposed do not even come close to.
Can you say hypocrisy?
Yep a losing strategy if 64% of the people think it is politically motivated.
Like Clinton, Christine watches the polls and knows how to direct the questions.
P.S. Hooray for Mr. King for giving it to Chrissy. Wonder if he replayed it like he did Zell Miller's response to him?
"Mark Green is a washed up old New York liberal loser. He was a one time Congressman who since then has lost elections for the Senate and Mayor,"
Actually, he never was a Congressman. He was head of consumer affairs in NYC. I think it is an appointed position (by Dinkins.)
You are correct. The point is Chrissy gave this moron time on his show to spread his insanity. Then tried to play serious interviewer after the barn door was open.
EXACTLY!!!
This was just a ploy (Chrissy's and MSNBC's) to attract conservative viewership to the ratings-challenged DNC talking-point show. But consider who the "sacrificial" snake was....a 'washed-up loser' from their side. Not exactly Howard Dean or Ted Kennedy or the regulars Howard Fineman and Maureen o'Dowd.
"Chrissy" is a despicable weasel.
"After losing a 1980 House race, he founded a think tank and wrote speeches for Gary Hart. Another loss in 1986 (to Al D'Amato for Senate) was followed by policy briefings for Democratic nominees Michael Dukakis and Bill Clinton and a gig guest-hosting Crossfire."
I stand corrected, he did not serve in Congress but instead ran in 1980 and lost (above article is from Slate).
