Matthews On Daschle Withdrawal: ‘Dictatorial’ NY Times ‘Engine Of Democratic Party’

To many, the New York Times is a dinosaur, doomed to go the way of all stegosauri. But the Gray Lady still holds sway in one sector of our society: the Democratic party. We saw an illustration of the paper’s influence today, when Tom Daschle, explaining to Andrea Mitchell his decision to withdraw his name as HHS Secretary nominee, cited today’s Times’ editorial calling for his head.
On today’s Hardball, Chris Matthews both acknowledged and complained of the Times’ inordinate influence. Calling the paper “dictatorial,” he described it as “the engine of the Democratic party.”
Matthews was kibitzing the Daschle withdrawal with Pat Buchanan and Dem consultant Joe Trippi.

Pardonnez-moi if I have little sympathy. Matthews has cited the NYT for years, acting as if it had the authority of the
Bible.
Now that his ox is gored, he's suddenly worried that they have too much influence.
Pity.

I’d laugh if I wasn’t simply so embarrassed at this point for Matthews...

The NYT bathhouse boys?
Democrats?
Who knew!

What about Eric Holder? What about Hillary? What about the tax cheat to head the Treasury? Why none of them? Was the NYT silent about them?

Feels good when you have the Chicago/Detroit/Baltimore/Bronx/Watts wing of the Democrat party attacking the MSM wing of the Democrat party. We can only hope and pray that by spring of 2010 they’ll be well on their way to political hell.

Tom Daschle...decision to withdraw his name as HHS Secretary nominee... Once a poof...always a poof. Obviously, his tax problem was only the tip of the ice berg. Good riddance!!

I saw Trent Lott and some Dem shill crying on Fox about thier 'good friend Tom Dachle"
They cried "the bars too high" and "we need someone over health care that knows the system...not just anyone who has no experience!!"
I would have given my left hangdown to scream "you gave it to Hillary Clinton you idiots!!!"

So, NYT is in charge of the Democrats and Rush is in charge of the Republicans. I think Rush can take the Old Gray Lady with half his brain tied behind his back. What foolishness!
