Matthews's Motor-Mouth Leaves Gregory Grimacing
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/28/2008 3:37:23 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

I haven't seen Chris Matthews this excited since a Barack Obama speech sent that special sensation skyward.

The Hardball host is in an absolute frenzy over Scott McClellan's allegations. So much so that guests on this evening's show are having a hard time expressing themselves as Matthews expounds at length. Ari Fleischer finally called Chris on it. And while David Gregory didn't express his ire in words, he made a facial expression that left little doubt as to his annoyance at being cut off in mid-sentence.

The screencap shows Gregory's grimace. But be sure to view the video here to get the full effect. A bit later, former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer appeared. He could be seen on many occasions attempting to speak, only to be submerged in a sea of ceaseless Matthews chatter. Talk at one point turned to VP Cheney's involvement in policy-making. Fleischer was again repeatedly frustrated in his attempts to talk, and finally had enough.

Why bother to have guests ping to Today show list.

Funny, when Joe Lieberman bolted the Democrat party, the liberals tarred and feathered him ...

Something about his mouth and the way he moves it while talking, keeps me expecting him to spit out a big old wad of chewing tobacco at any given moment.

Matthews shuts out other peoples opinions because not only does he obviously love the sound of his own voice, he’s afraid that letting someone else present their point will refute was he says. That is true for all those who stop other peoples comments in midsentence. They’re afraid that that the person they refuse to let talk might be right about the particular issue being discussed.

He's a bloated bigmouth who lacks intelligence. I can't get over how much he looks like the Micheline Man and Pillsbury Dough-boy.

I didn’t think it was possible to grimace without lips but he’s pulled it off nicely.

What a pitiful fellow Matthews has turned out to be- I remember when he sounded fair and rational..bout 10 years ago.

I stopped watching Matthews years ago, before he developed BDS, for this exact reason.

He never lets his guests finish a sentence or stream of thought. Never.

Believe or not, I'd like to hear someones opinion besides birdbrain Chris

I think the last time I watched him, nobody on his show actually said a complete sentence.

Of course spitting on your guests is pretty rude

Popman, you took the words right out of my mouth. It made my blood boil watching him do that, so......, I quit watching him totally.
