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."

"Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant here. Irrelevant. He doesn't know anything more than what he read in the New York Times."
He doesn't know about love! He doesn't know about that feeling that spreads up his leg in the aura of god-man brought to earth!"
More people hear the irelevant Prissy Chrissy when Rush plays a clip than ever hear him on DNC TV
Chris Matthews is a self-pimping media whore who’s no more than a turd stain on the bottom of Rush Limbaugh’s shoe.
Chrissy should talk...he is the lightweight among talk show hosts.
Chris Matthews is a moronic, tiresome, juvenile horse’s ass with no audience and no intellect who only reaches the outside world with his fifth rate garbage out of an act of charity and political bias by NBC and Bill Gates’ news dabbling who pays for this colossal waste of time.
Irrelevant??? Doesn’t Rush have the largest audience in the history of radio? I couldn’t even tell you the station or time Chris Matthews comes on. He’s a sorry excuse if I ever saw one.
I think Rush and Chrissy Poo should do 5 rounds in a UFC fight, with the lose being bannished forver from radio, tv, or print media.
Tomorrows New York Times headline:
‘Sources: Lobbyist was Surrogate
Mom for McCain-Alien Baby!’
Right. If you say so.
No kidding...but this is after he railed on McCain endlessly as being the nominee who would destroy the Republican party.
Elections are not won in opinions polls, they are won in the Electoral College. Being popular in an opinion poll 8 months before an election does not necessarily translate into winning enough state to win a National Election
The green eyed monster got hold of Chris.
No. Get your facts right. Rush simply laid out the facts, as he sees them, concerning the Republican candidates and how their nomination would impact the general elections and the Republican Party as a whole. The fact that a McCain nomination has so many negatives isn’t Rush’s fault. The fact that Rush discusses the McCain negatives logically and intelligently is not an “attack” or some kind of bashing of McCain - it is what it is - the truth.

the GOP really didn’t have a strategy in 2006. they thought they could just spend $ on pork and that would be the ticket to victory
McCain will probably come up with a national agenda, like the contract with america. Balance the budget, overhaul the tax code, reform entitlements. Those are big things conservatives want.
Hey, Chrissy. Hillary’s got your nads in a vise. Who’s irrelevant? And what are your numbers compared to Rush?
