Chris Matthews just couldn't wipe that grin off his face. Interviewing him on this morning's 'Today,' Meredith Vieira began by suggesting that despite the tough electoral environment for Republicans, polls over the weekend were showing movement in their direction. She started to pose a question, but so distracting was Matthews' mugging that she couldn't continue, asking instead "why are you smiling?"
Replied Matthews:
"Because I think it's going to be a wipe-out. I think the Democrats are going to carry the House by 20-some, high-20s and I think the Senate seats are perhaps not six, but five, and I can see a big victory for the Democrats."
Video here.
Matthews went on to sound a cautionary note to Dems about not dancing in the end zone. And no doubt he would seek to explain his smile and response as reflecting his amusement at the suggestion that the election might be close, not his satisfaction with the anticipated outcome. But does anyone believe he would have been equally gleeful had he been convinced Republicans were heading toward a big victory?
Matthews is an idiot.
At the end of the interview, Meredith pinned him done on specific predictions:
27-seat gain for the Dems in the House
5- seats gained in the Senate (one short of control)
Should be fun to see how wrong he is as Tuesday night fades into Wednesday morning.
Bertram Scudder alert!
Hey Chrissy - I think that you'll have an inverted smile come Wednesday AM.
Booo Hooo, F'n hoooo to you.
Not really. Everyone knows that Hannity is the answer to Colmes. It's a totally different show. There's no counter to Matthews on his show. Many times he has only libs on with no other voice
If that is not evidence that the socialist liberal media is the media wing of the socialist demokratic party, nothing is. He OPENLY stated it.
Don't forget, folks, Chrissy claims to be an Independent!
America hates politics...Loves football. The sign at the Air Force and Army game was a signal. AMERICA HEARD WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAD TO SAY TO OUR TROOPS. NOT GOOD.
TELL ME THIS DIDNT CHANGE A FEW VOTES. Dems lost when Kerry spoke. THIS IS THE TRUTH.
LOL.
mark for later
"Im smiling because I think it's going to be a wipe-out."
Sounds like a great ad line for Scotts toilet tissue.
I see this as the exact same thing Fox News Channel is doing. Gain the audience, then slam them with an agenda.
But Hannity has the anti-Hannity of Alan Colombs sitting next to him on FNC. Where is the anti-Matthews on MSNBC/NBC?
Where does Matthews ever admit his own bias, as Hannity does?
Just ONE MORE reason to vote R tomorrow. There was nothing more enjoyable in '04 than seeing Susan Estrich go from party reveler @ 4pm election day to seeing her with all her mascara runs later that night. Oh if I could see Chrissy's mascara run it would just make my day.
Wow I am surprised the MSM spin machine hasn't blown up from the use it is getting these last few days, it must be doing about 1,000,000,000 rpm or faster.
If Soupy won't do it, I say Michelle Malkin should do it for the way the sicko, spitting coward, Matthews, treared her about a year and a half ago.
