Chris Matthews Struck Dumb by McCain Response.

MSNBC | 3/10/06

Yes, indeedy. I watched the entire program because Txsleuth and I both kind of keep an eye out for their "worst moments" and she said she would be unavailable, but asked if I would watch for this in particular. I was happy to do so and kept a little running commentary for her while waiting. Nada. Gone down the memory hole. It was not included.

[Howlin]

So it was on the 5 o'clock show but not on the 7 o'clock one?

[Howlin]

Now, who can we notify about that.

[Bahbah]

How about Newsbusters? Mark, there has been a little bit of hanky panky on the Hardball show. See this thread. The event to which it refers was cut from the later runs of the show: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1594156/posts

Bahbah, I was just about to ping GLGB. He Da Man.

Hey Gov. :-)

[Bahbah]

Here is the text from the original post: "Caught the last two minutes of Hardball. Matthews had corralled 6 Republicans at the Tennessee convention to ask who they would be voting for. The three men said Frist. Two women said Rice. I didn't catch the third woman. When he asked if they would vote for McCain they all said no. Chris looked like he would pass out, because John is his boy. He asked them again and this time they said he was a fence sitter and an opportunist. It was a golden moment. Try to catch it on the repeat."

Too bad it wasn't in the repeat.

I just emailed this thread to Brent Bozell at MRC, Bahbah. ;-)

[Bahbah]

Great. I thought about Bozell also. The media is going to push McCain with all they've got and that means squashing any negative stories. So it begins.

[CaptainK]

You have to be kidding me.

[Bahbah]

Nope, not kidding. Some of us have contacted Newsbusters and Brent Bozell about the curious omission.

[jaycee]

I love your name for the so-called I-man. I was trying to find a name for him a while back and all I could come up with was Imass............Think I like yours best!!

[jaycee]

Yes, Chrissy loves McCain so much, he could eat him all up!! LOL~~~~~~~~~

[Miss Behave]

So it begins is right, Bah.

The Scurry-n-Squash Shifty Shuffle.

Aka "Dancing with the Deceitful."

I hear it's like watching a trainwreck. I also hear it's NOT a reality show.

[OmegaMan]

"I thought Chris and Howard dance around that point because they can't quite accept the fact that McCain is not beloved by the Republican rank and file."

It may have not been this show that I heard him say that. But sometime today, maybe in his earlier 5:00(est) show, he mentioned that McCain could be doing this to avoid losing.

[CaptainK]

That was the show I saw. I guess I just thought they were half hearted about it. After all Howard did say he was speaking to delegates in the hotel and they looooooved McCain.

[lormand]

I can't claim the credit. I wish I could remember the freeper who coined it before me.

[CaptainK]

You saw the show that was in the hotel where they had ducks walking around the lobby? Just checking to see if we viewed the same show.
