'Thrilled' Matthews Toasts with Ellen: 'To Barack Obama!'
Newsbusters ^ | November 20, 2008 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 11/20/2008 4:12:17 PM PST by St. Louis Conservative

After much mocking by Ellen Degeneres about Chris Matthews' dancing abilities on his last appearance on her syndicated show, the "Hardball" host chatted with Degeneres, on Thursday's show, about the election of Barack Obama and actually grabbed a shot glass to toast his win with Ellen (audio excerpt here):

ELLEN DEGENERES: Amazing! And you must be thrilled? I mean what, what a moment.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Well I am thrilled!

DEGENERES: Yeah.

MATTHEWS, picking up shot glass: To Barack Obama!

DEGENERES, toasting: Yeah. To Barack Obama!

A little later in his interview segment, Matthews also took a different kind of shot, the verbal kind, against the outgoing administration:

MATTHEWS: And I'm watching Hillary and I'm watching McCain I think, I think Hillary is gonna be Secretary of State. I think it's gonna happen.

DEGENERES: I think both of them are great and, and I love that he's meeting with both of them. It says something about him already. So-

MATTHEWS: Well it's not the old politics of Karl Rove and mean, and get even, and divide, and vengeance and all that stuff. I think the country is in a mood for no more mean. No more mean.

DEGENERES: I'm in the mood for no more mean. No more hiding goodness.

they never eat crow, never admit they were wrong

they have character nor accountibility nor shame

none

they are neurotic little children...

Matthews once regarded as moderate and look how far left he is...in reality

On the bright side, if they really do believe we're entered a post-"mean" era they're in for alot of heartburn.

We expect nastiness from the left - but the reality that about to hit their underqualified & unaccomplished hero between the eyes is really gonna get these clowns where they live.

Matthews is gonna pop a vein.

Problem is we’re going to watch them do that and just cringe at the fact that they could have buried the messiah the first week and didn’t ... they were more interested in Sarah and her clothing than what Obama will do to our country. He’s the president but not mine ....

Matthews has that leg thrill and a dishonorable discharge just thinking about Hussein....

....and Ellen Degenerate has Michelle and carpet on her mind.

I think I already mentioned it on the forum... One of acquaintances of mine - dem activist - explained his support for Obama in plain words. It’s not possible to implement what he wants anyway, so there is no reason to worry; in meantime it’s their ticket to power after 8 years of Bush.

I see the second part... and maybe the firts one is correct, too, however the country will go through hell when community orginizer starts trying...

I think things will go flooie just because he is in not what he will do ... it’s the anticipation of what he might do that worries the stock market ....

The Matthews’ have devised a way to save their asexual marriage: Chrissy plays the role of Michelle and the wife that of Obama.
Cross-dressing is a house rule.

Hope these people understand that if the US is attacked under their affirmative action hero with Bush having kept us well defended since 9/11...we will take matters into our own hands.

The Obamination will of course blame Bush and his policies dealing with terrorists in that he provoked them to attack but not during his watch ... they waited until Obama came to power ...

Memo to Chrissie: That tingle up your leg is not Ellen’s hand.

What children. Its unbelievable. "No more mean". Like tagging your brother and then calling "quitsies".

LOL. Too true. I actually tried to watch it. I did a double take when Chrissy said 'no more mean'. LOL, I guess his comments about conservatives aren't mean, just 'true'. *eyeroll*

And, yeah, mean like Prop 8 opponents hurling rage and insults at Prop 8 supporters. Somehow that's not 'mean'. Ellen is so Obama friendly, yet he is pretty much against gay marriage, but he won't have to say. He'll let the Cali judges overturn the voters' choice, prop 8, and voila, everyone's happy. Well, except the majority of voters who voiced their choice, but they're just 'mean' anyway....
