Matthews Furious As Olbermann Lifts His Lines
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/27/2008 6:04:05 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Another chapter in the ongoing Matthews-Olbermann feud, or simply Chris's frustration with a technical glitch? Yesterday, a catfight broke out between the two when Olbermann suggested Matthews had stolen an idea from two female pundits, and later made a hand gesture mocking Matthews gabbing [YouTube here, h/t Undercover Black Man]. Were the warring duo at it again this evening?

You be the judge. Click on the image to the right to view the video.

Again co-anchoring the MSNBC desk with Olbermann tonight, Matthews was just about to throw it to Luke Russert out on the convention floor. The son of the late Meet the Press anchor was interviewing young convention delegates. In light of the reported desire of both Matthews and Olbermann to grab the Meet the Press anchor chair, the opportunity to interact with Luke might be seen as a valuable plum.

It seemed as if Matthews was reading a script from his laptop, when his lines suddenly disappeared and Olbermann picked up the thread and threw it to young Russert. A furious expression crossed Matthews' face and he began to shake his head and mutter, until his image was suddenly blotted out by a prominent NBC logo.

Let these two pasty fairies settle their differences in a tighty-whitey cage match.

That ought to generate some ratings (finally).

Ya know how we say female reporters sleep their way to the top? My guess is that Olbermann did too and he has footage to blackmail his bosses with.

Chrissy looks very disheviled and anxious, most likely his career tipping point.

I've got a nice pair of dueling pistols if they want to settle this like the men that they fantasize they are.

If McCain looks like he's going to pull it out on election night I will be watching the coverage on MSNBC - just to watch Chrissy spit blood and Olberdouche’s head explode.

“Tighty-whitey cage match?”

Sounds like a pay-per-view show in San Francisco.

Much as I’d love to see these punks go at each other with broken Perrier bottles, it looks to me like Chrissie flubbed his lines and Olberboy jumped in to stop Chrissie from brain lock. Matthews said something stupid about Obama being “the first African-American nominated to be the President of America or any other major country.” So what other “major countries” would nominate an African-American to be their President?? I’m sure these ladies hate each other, but I think Chrissie was muttering because he blew his lines (instead of Obama, which is his real desire).

There is a better line in Mathew's opening sentence:

“Barak is the first African-American to be nominated by a major partry in a major country."

As if white Americans get presidential nominations in France all the time.

Matthews, Olbermann, Gregory, and the new girl(?) are all going to take MSNBC straight down the tubes. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Matthews leave after this election, and leave Olbermann to his own devices on MSNBC, and watch the channel go off the air. Bill Gates must be throwing up. That experiment surely must be considered a failure.

That would be something to see. Our cable service took them off our package and I was happy cuz I seldom watched them but now I can’t drop in to see just how far out they are.
