CBS Late Show host David Letterman took a humorous swipe at MSNBC's Chris Matthews Friday.
In a recurring segment riffing on Zogby polls, Letterman said that 51 percent of people supporting Mitt Romney are doing so because they "Want to see Chris Matthews cry like a baby" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
Letterman: Half of Romney Supporters Just Want to See Chris Matthews Cry Like a Baby
DAVID LETTERMAN: Why do you want Mitt Romney to win the election? 23 percent said, “He'll fix the economy," he’ll fix the economy. 26 percent said, “Overturn ObamaCare.” And 51 percent said they “Want to see Chris Matthews cry like a baby.” He’s very, very histrionic that Chris Matthews.
To be honest, that's not one of my primary reasons - but I'm certainly looking forward to it.
For his part, this wasn't the first time Letterman's taken a swing at Matthews' pathetic biases.
After the first presidential debate, Letterman played a video of the Hardball host's head exploding. This came days after Jay Leno played a video of a straight-jacketed Matthews being taken away by men in white coats.
It's nice to see that it isn't only conservatives that think Matthews is a total joke.
I really don’t care what reason they use. Of course, seeing Hissey-Chrissey in tears IS an added bonus...
Nope. But that will be lagniappe!
That’s just a side benefit. I’m not going to watch any news until about 10 on election night. Then I’ll turn on FOX News and see. If Romney wins, I’ll switch to MSNBC and watch the hysterics. If Rebublicans win the congress, I may watch all night.
LETTERMAN IS RIGHT.
I’d say that that is a darn good reason. Get it on youtube for all of posterity.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Exactly what I was thinking!
Chris’ tingle will be wee-wee.
Well, yeah, I’d like to see Chris cry like a baby. Chris says the darnedest things. But never underestimate the comedic possibility in Keith Olbermann going full Philip Queeg.
100% of Obama voters just want revenge.
Actually, whenever I watch CM on a tear....he forgets to swallow. Then appears this frothy ball of spit in the corner of his mouth. It’s quite hilarious to watch. It’s like he has rabies.
The part Letterman left out is that the other just want to see Letterman cry like a baby when his hero loses.
Not me, I want him to do his best Budd Dwyer impersonation.
Now that you mention it...LOL!
BUT 66% of Romney supports want to see Letterman have the BIG ONE right on TV..
Now thats entertainment..
I remember when the 2000 election was called after only 1 percent of the votes were in Florida and that didn’t include the Panhandle which is in the central time zone
Agree. He is disgusting with all the spit. I don’t know how his wife can stand it. I wonder if he gets all this wound up at home when the kids do something that ticks him off. He is going to have a stroke or a heart attack someday....maybe while he is on the air.
Chrissy will be drinking to forget Tue night. Angry drunk.
I want to see him transferred to Kenya to cover the upcoming Obama candidacy for president there.
Hey David Letterman ? We totally agree with you for once... except for the numbers parts.... not half.... ALL ! of us want to see Mr. BO-Tingles cry on election night.
I would not be surprised if the guy does something stupid. He’d better try to get a grip.
