In Case You Missed It: MSNBC's Chris Matthews On "Disgusting" Democrat Attacks On Judge Alito

Republican National Committee ^ | October 31, 2005

[RWR8189]

MSNBC's Chris Matthews: "[I]'m Sitting Here Holding In My Hands, A Pretty Disgusting Document, This Is Put Out Not For Attribution. But It Comes From The Democrats, They're Circulating It. I Can Say That." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)

• Matthews: "[T]hen Their Complaint Sheet Against Judge Alito's Nomination. The First Thing They Nail About This Italian American Is He Failed To Win A Mob Conviction In A Trial 20 Years Ago, Or Something Way Back In '88." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05) 
   
• Matthews: "In Other Words, They Nail Him On Not Putting Some Italian Mobsters In Jail From The [Lucchese] Family. Why Would They Bring Up This Ethnically Charged Issue As The First Item They Raise Against Judge Alito?" (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05) 
   
• Matthews: "This Is Either A Very Bad Coincidence Or Very Bad Politics. Either Way Its Gonna Hurt Them. This Document: Not Abortion Rights, Not Civil Rights But That He Failed To Nail Some Mobsters In 1988. This Is The Top Of Their List Of What They've Got Against This Guy. Amazingly Bad Politics." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)  

Matthews: "[The Democrats Are] Trying Not To Put A Signature On It, But I Just Did." (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," 10/31/05)

Was Matthews showing backbone and ethics or disappointment or all three? Pigs are flying...

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks for the ping. Amazing stuff, but then again Matthews' emphasis is that this was "bad politics." Not that it's wrong, but that it's an ineffective way of taking Alito down.

[Redbob]

So, the Dims think their problems will all go away if they sufficiently annoy enough Italians?

LOL!

[StAnDeliver]

He was an overeager dry hump kneepadder for the debased & deranged Tip O'Neill. Nothing more need be said.

[CatoRenasci]

Well, they were always a bit more open-minded in the mid-West .... Now, if you'd tried Yale, or Williams.....

(BTW, I have a daughter at Northwestern and she loves Chicago)

[mosquitobite]

I knew you would ;)

I shoulda pinged Fedora and ravingnutter!

[School of Rational Thought]

Why Would They Bring Up This Ethnically Charged Issue As The First Item They Raise Against this ginnie, wop, dago Judge Alito?" (MSNBC's "MSNBC Live," - Chris Matthews
;-) (sarcasm - no offense)

[babaloo]

What did Corn have an issue with today? I missed it.

[AlbionGirl]

These guys are really starting to show signs of being afflicted with 'Fredo syndrome: weakness and stupidity.

[goldstategop]

Tony Soprano is livid. "Whaddya mean he didn't go after the mob? Its a slur on Italian Americans. We love this country and keep our noses clean and obey the laws. Yeah, we make a good livin.' But you want to know who the real thieves are? Its not the family I head - its the politicians in Washington. They crap more sh*t than I rake in money in all of New Jersey. And they make it sound like being Italian is a disease. Have they no shame? Sheesh!"

("Denny Crane: Gun Control? For Communists. She's a liberal. Can't hunt.")

[conservativepoet]

In three days time, the Dims all of a sudden fighting amongst themselves in a way that will deepen their anguish and disillusionment. Who could of "thunk it" one week ago?

[JesseJane]

rofl!!

[wolfcreek]

Matthews either had a brain-fart or he realizes stupidity when he sees it.

[fzx12345]

broken clocks...blind squirrels...

[bigsigh]

as I said yesterdya, obviously too many Italians on the court.

[GoldwaterChick]

You mean Chrissy is still on television?

[strange1]

I thought I saw a large pig flying past my window, too.

Maybe a Michael Moore float for the upcoming Thanksgiving day parade?

[mosquitobite]

Jesse, now I can't find the link. Do you know where the Corn piece is?

[Sea2ShiningSea]

"winged swine" LOL! Love it!
