Todd Bursts Matthews' Balloon on Casey's 'Spiritual' Endorsement of Obama
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 03/28/2008 7:13:55 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

He calls it Hardball but Chris Matthews showed again tonight he's a softy when it comes to Barack Obama. Poor Chris was palpably crestfallen when NBC News political director Chuck Todd laid out the case, chapter and verse, that political payback, even revenge, explained Sen. Bob Casey's endorsement of Obama as much or more than the "spiritual" reasons Chris so wanted to believe in.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I didn’t expect this guy. He’s a very cautious U.S senator in his first year, his first term, and what did he do? Almost a spiritual announcement he made today: I’ve got to be for Barack.

Todd began by tossing Matthews a bone, but the pragmatic political director quickly reverted to form, drawing upon his encyclopedic knowledge of modern political history to demonstrate that not-so-lofty emotions lay behind the endorsement.

matthews has really made himself to look an idiot with this obama story, now of course he won’t see it like that but many others will , the fact is just when will NBC actually wake up and see they are now a thrid rate outfit with a load of numpties anchoring for them

The other day they had a black woman as an anchor and she was really cheerleading for obama.

She said that clinton had been pushing the wright story only to be corrected by her guest, what does the anchor do, yep she still carries on cheerleading for obama, making excuses for him

Both Casey and Matthew claim to be “Catholic”, yet they want to support this vehement adovcate of all forms of infanticide. It’s time for the various Bishops to speak out in no uncertain terms. Casey, especially, is a disgrace to his late father’s noble dedication to his pro-life convictions. Matthews? He’s always been an obviously shallow, testosterone-deprived, moron.

Barack gets spiritual now and then, too...
 
Obama: Man of the World
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: March 6, 2007

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to
prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that
seemed delightfully uncalculated [...], Mr. Obama described the
call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at
sunset."

Matthews has lost contact with reality. Seriously. The guy needs professional help- maybe a vaction as well.

My grandmother had an expression that comes to mind “More to be pitied than scorned, dear”.

“More to be pitied than scorned, dear”.

Grandma was right, again. I don’t think Chris is a malicious Olbermann type. Just off the deep end for Obama for some reason.

Grandmas are that way, aren’t they? :)

You’re right about Olbermann- he’s just mean and vicious.

The sense I have about Matthews is he’s longing..desperately, for his youth and is projecting onto Obama all the fond memories of his liberal awakening.

Hmm..I would give Matthews a One and Half Leg Tingle for the Casey Endorsement....now if Gore endorses Obama, that will be a 4 whole leg tingle and a Gorebasm...

Matthews is to be pittied, this guy filled in for Rush at one time, now he has slid into vacuity.

Wow, there isnt even a pretense behind the bias. just pure obama-worpship.

Matthews interviews Obama:
Senator, are you alright? can I get you a pillow?

Casey is a little ‘rat’ politician trading on the reputation of his father who was a Dem but one with honor and character-—he attempts to ‘suckup’ to gun owners here in PA to get the RAT voters who vote Dem, ‘just because our family did all our lives’-—all politicos ‘suck’ but some just ‘suck’ more than others-

Chuck Schumer planned the scheme to have so-called “pro-life” Dems run against Republicans so the Dems could control Congress, and it worked.

Voters are so naive.

That’s why I call talk shows and write editor’s letters to let as many people as I can, know what candidates stand for.
