Appearing on Thursday's 1pm hour of MSNBC News Live, "Hardball" host Chris Matthews couldn't resist taking a few swipes at Rush Limbaugh. After anchor Peter Alexander played a clip of the conservative talk show host discussing the New York Times story on John McCain, Matthews irritably claimed, "Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant here. Irrelevant. He doesn't know anything more than what he read in the New York Times."
The radio clip, from todays edition of Limbaugh's program, featured the host urging the presidential candidate to learn a lesson from the front-page New York Times story speculating about a improper relationship with a D.C. lobbyist. In the clip, Limbaugh argued that Republicans should learn never to trust the liberal-leaning news media as they will always turn to help Democrats.
Matthews's apparent annoyance at Limbaugh might have something to do with being mentioned in the clip. At one point during the monologue, Limbaugh asserted, "[McCain] has thought Chris Matthews and these other people in the drive-by media, are his friends. They aren't."

Give ‘em HELL, Rush!
I heard this on his show today. I listen to Rush DAILY as much as I can.
He nails it, and poor lil Chrissy can just iron out his wadded up panties! LOL!
Excellent post! Good Rush shots.
Ratings on TV and radio are different. I recognize that, although I believe Rush has much more of the middle than Chrissy and with all the NBC “news” and “opinion” programming slanting far more left in the last couple years, I think their ratings will continue to decline.
If you want to do an apples to apples comparison with TV hosts, Chrissy still gets far fewer viewers than Bill O’Reilly (about 15% there as well), so he has to be more outrageous to get anybody’s attention.
Thank you nit!
Yes she would! Ann Coulter is tough!
