Chris Matthews Mocks Rush Limbaugh as the 'Guy From Deliverance' By Scott Whitlock Created 11/01/2012 - 6:17pm
MSNBC's Chris Matthews on Thursday lashed out at Rush Limbaugh and his criticism of Chris Christie, deriding the conservative radio host as "the guy from Deliverance." Matthews played a clip of Limbaugh joking, "New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has decided to play the role of a Greek column today for President Obama."
Matthews fumed, "He reminds me more of the guy from Deliverance– 'Squeal like a pig,'" a reference to the sodomy scene in the 1972 film. Matthews followed up, "...It just seems like he's squealing like a pig essentially here."
The Hardball anchor introduced the clip by ridiculously asserting, "On another side of the planet, and on the side of the Manichean division between good and evil, here is Rush Limbaugh going after Chris Christie's kind words for the President."
Matthews previously smeared Ann Coulter's audience as straight out of Deliverance.
The host mocked, "Let's listen to the walrus underwater," an attack he's also used before.
A transcript of the November 1 exchange follows:
5:20
CHRIS MATTHEWS: On another side of the planet, and on the side of the Manichean division between good and evil, here is Rush Limbaugh going after Chris Christie's kind words for the President. Let's listen to the walrus under water. [Makes walrus sound.] Let's listen to him right now. Here is Rush Limbaugh.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: New Jersey governor Chris Christie has decided to play the role of a Greek column today for President Obama. Obama and Chris Christie will tour the Jersey Shore. Chris Christie is the only Republican-- I mean not just praising Obama. I mean it's-- it's-- let's just put it this way. Is it wrong for one man to love another man? But that man love out there it's isolated to the state of New Jersey. Well, just tell you what I have observed casually with my busy broadcast eyes and my cochlear implant-aided ears.
MATTHEWS: He reminds me more of the guy from Deliverance– "Squeal like a pig." –than anybody. Anyway, this whole thought here, without getting too much into the movie references, Jeff and Howard, it just seems like he's squealing like a pig essentially here. He knows he lost the day and he just wants to complain about it, this bromance, suggestions of gay behaviors. It's absurd. It's high school.
HOWARD FINEMAN: Rush is sort of the kind of air raid siren for the Republicans. When he's creaming like that, you know something has happened, something significant has happened.
Who watches this crap anyway.............?

Looking at the ratings etc, one may get the opinion that NBC keeps this ‘thing’ going so as the assorted fruits and nuts that man the ‘desks’ are there in a sort of ‘grouping’ mode.
Leave them to their own and they won’t be ‘begging’ to get on the air of the ‘Mother Station’.
Though if these clowns could be subjected to a large audience, maybe the public will finally wake up.
Little Chrissie Mathews is just Jelous of Rush Limbaugh because more people listen to the Rush Limbaugh Show in 5 minutes than listen to the entire show that Mathews Hosts.
“Tingles” still looking for a mention from Rush, bet it doesn’t happen. Poor Chrissy
Lets compare the audience sizes of the two hosts.
Lets compare the audience sizes of the two hosts.
My lord, do these people ever have any knew material?
Never forget that Chrissie Matthews was successfully replaced by an orange traffic cone. Chrissie thinks DELIVERANCE was a love story.
Nope, Rush will ignore chrissy. Why lower himself to toying with a lunatic?
If Rush responds in any way, it may be a little bumper rotation Deliverance song.
Rush usually ignores this crap because he knows people like Chrissy want attention and up their ratings.
Here's how it will happen: A caller will ask Rush tomorrow: "Rush, did you hear what Chris Matthews said about you?" and Rush will laugh and say "Chris who?"
Chris might have a secret desire...masking it in shame against a political foe. Just go for it Chris...find out what it’s like. You could be a little blonde beard.
I recall the day he hosted Rush’s program. He wasn’t up to the standard. The callers had him stammering.
Did Chris play banjo as a kid? Could he be one half of the dueling banjos? Maybe that is why he is so defensive.
Matthews’ constant attempts for attention are both pitiful and boring.
Chris ‘ole buddy. We’re going to twist both your ears Tuesday, so get practiced up on your squealing and leg tingling
He’s just jealous to learn that he isn’t the only one getting a thrill. Christie is poaching on Chrissy’s territory!
If it’s a blowout for Romney little Chrissy’s head might actually explode on air like in the 1980’s movie Scanners. It might actually be worth getting cable to watch his meltdown.
This Deliverance stuff still bothers me after seeing that movie many years ago. I canoe the Elk river some in Tennessee and I always got an uneasy feeling putting in on the river at daybreak 23 miles from the nearest civilization. Deliverance always comes to mind, especially with the early morning fog. It’s very creepy and unnerving. I thought once about getting a banjo and hiding downriver a ways from the put in point and strumming it a few times as canoe parties came by just to watch their reaction, lol. It would have scared me bad if it happened to me.
