Chris Matthews and four liberal male guests had a nice laugh Friday over the announcement that Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has been named to serve on the House Intelligence committee.
Viewers are advised to prepare themselves for a truly disgraceful level of sexism displayed on MSNBC's "Hardball" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Gentlemen, before we proceed, I just got one of those flash news flashes that I have to report immediately upon getting it. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has been named to the Intelligence Committee!
(LAUGHTER)
MATTHEWS: What -- what genius, Howard, thought this was the perfect match?
HOWARD FINEMAN, HUFFINGTONPOST.COM, MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: I have no comeback. I just think that speaks for itself.
EUGENE ROBINSON, "WASHINGTON POST," MSNBC POLITICAL ANALYST: It really does.
Matthews brought this up in a later segment evoking not just more laughter but also some truly harsh words for the Congresswoman:
MATTHEWS: Let's take a look at this. My hero and heroine, Michele Bachmann, here, who's been named today, by the way, to the Intelligence Committee -- there's a whopper
(LAUGHTER)
MATTHEWS: Anyway, this is the second biggest whopper of the year. It spread like wildfire across the conservative TV and radio. It was the outrageous charge that President Obama`s trip to India cost $200 million a day. And the false rumor was picked up and repeated by none other than Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. Let's listen.

They can laugh all they want, she’s the one with the power.
Yes they are, mentally sick.
It's getting pretty smarmy over there at MSNBC where all the talking heads, and now even the guests gotta' be gay!
These clowns slurp between the thighs of Barack Obama and dare question anyone’s intelligence?
LOL
Chrissy should be careful she will make a idiot out of him on national TV again.
I wonder if a spike heel up the ass would tingle or just make him cry like a baby?
The only exposure that Chrissy gets is right here on FR. Nobody else watches him.
“Her” I mean....
She smoked him when he tried to “interview” her and his panties are still in a bunch.
They fear her and they have failed to stop her in the elections.
Just like a bunch of fags snickering about a woman’s clothes.
No one takes Journ-O-List hack Howard Fineman's "punditry" seriously.
Eugene Robinson. Really?? "Jes' keepin' it real, Homes?" Meh.
Bachmann is on the Intelligence Committee. Gag on it, MShills. HAH!
This is true. His @ss is still sore from that whoopin'.
Chris Matthews - sexist - but not a racist, oh no, that would be terrible!
Of course these clowns have no problem with dimoKKKRAT Congressman Hank Johnson of “Guam tipping over” fame.
Muck Fatthews.
Hank Johnson of Georgia thinks Guam might tip over for all the added Marines expected on the island.
Any funny comment by Matthews on that?
Their treatment of women conservatives is so over the top sexist.
Did Chrissy and Madcow laugh when they named Chuckie Rangel as chairman of House Ways and Means in charge of tax law? Yes, they did. Probably laughing at Republicans for not putting up a stink about it. Just roll over and play dead once again.
