Chris Matthews Gushes On Real Time:“Real” Michele Bachmann Is “My Hero"..She’s Going All The Way
mediaite ^ | Friday June 17, 2011 | Glenn Davis

Chris Matthews stopped by Real Time with Bill Maher tonight to serve on the show’s panel, and he really likes Michele Bachmann. Her name came up and Matthews immediately referred to her as “my hero,” predicted she’d beat Mitt Romney in the New Hampshire primary, and praised her for being “real.” This is probably where we make a “thrill up my leg” reference.

Fellow panelist Ross Douthat strongly disagreed on the New Hapshire point, but Matthews wasn’t getting swayed. He talked about how Bachmann “stands for something.”

Matthews took it a step further: “She has more foster kids than Newt has wives.”

“He was her biggest critic until last week. Is he being sarcastic”

It looks like the media is promoting their “pigeon”. They will build her up hoping she is the last one standing to get the GOP nomination. Once she has that in hand they will due a 180 and tear her down so that the dimoKKKRAT gets the nomination. In this case Obama. All a ruse folks.

IIRC that maggot was incredibly vile toward Bachmann during the campaign last year?

And now she’s his hero. Interesting.

It happened with Reagan, it happened with Ariel Sharon
/// true. i agree.
but, it happened over many YEARS, not weeks.
and it happened because they EARNED a grudging respect, by ACTIONS, and integrity.

...not overnight from a single debate.

no, this is something else. i don’t know what, but the “Romney stalking horse” theory at least fits the facts.

Several days back, Bachmann's campaign trashed Palin. The LSM like the performance and returned the favor by advocating for and complimenting Bachmman.

Today Bachmann refuses to comment on or critcize Romneycare. Chris Mathews returns the favor by complimenting Bachmann.

Chrissy likes Bachmann not going rogue.

I have donated to Michele Bachmann several times. I actually stopped donating because I grew tired of her heavy-handed fund-raising and constant telemarketing campaigns. I threatened them that if they didn't stop calling, I would stop giving. They didn't so Renee Ellmers replaced Bachmann on my donation list.

I have become increasingly disenchanted with Bachmann this year. Her Tea Party response to the SOTU seemed self-serving. Picking Rollins as campaign manager, not speaking out when Rollins attacked Palin, refusing to criticize Massachusetts healthy care, someone from the WSJ helping with her memoirs, etc. It just doesn't add up ... or maybe it does,

Maher wasn’t overly impressed, calling her “a crazy girl with mean ideas,”

Where "mean ideas" = cutting taxes, spending, and the size and scope of gov't.

What do Bob Beckel, Rachel Maddow and Larry O’Donnell think?

Dunno but Al Gore hearts Romney.

This is just...weird.

Chrissy is on something, he has to be.

it works in reverse too. i’ve seen many people here, admit a grudging respect for Kucinich. he may be a crazy liberal, but, he seems to have an intregrity that others lack. like his recent quoting the constitution and slamming Obama over Libya and the War Powers Act.
...but again, this is a process of long observation.
not overnight.

...and this isn’t just Matthews. earlier today, someone posted an article from the Brookings Institute, gushing over Bachmann almost as much as Matthews.
(maybe similar words...? like their old “Journolist” group?) ...it’s strange. and i don’t really care, because i honestly like Cain better than Romney or Bachmann, because i think he understands the dangers of Islam better, AND he’s got better real-world experience to fix the economy.

Michele will probably hire one or more of those soon and we’ll find out then. I can’t wait! :)

great post! sounds like basic behavior modification in psychology. ...reward the behavior you desire.
(and if it misbehaves, wack it on the nose !)

Kucinich had my respect until he caved to Zero on the health care bill for a ride on AF1.

He had my respect, because he wasn’t afraid to debate his ideas and he was honest about what he believed. If every Dem was like Kucinich, we’d have audited the fed and implemented the Fair Tax by now.

He can be correct without truly being supportive. That’s getting harder, being correct that is. He’s just smart enough to know he won’t get away with picking her apart. Too much smiling there when the BM made a joke about the octomom.

I will give Kuchinich credit for being consistently pacifist, but it ends there. The man almost destroyed Cleveland as mayor and is a far left extremist.

When liberals say good things about Republicans either: 1. they are up to no good or 2. the Republican is weak (Richard Lugar, Michael Bloomberg and Lincoln Chaffee (when they were Republicans).
