He was asking Senator Dick Durbin about our reasons for going to war against Iraq, if WMD and nuclear weapons were a real threat or if it was just "bullshit". I couldn't believe it! It came through on my TV loud and clear. And Matthews never skipped a beat or paused after he said it. He probably doesn't even realize he said it! Me thinks this uranium "flap" is going to cause Chrissy to have a heart attack or something. I seriously think he needs counseling because he refuses to let this story go.... hes obsessed with it. Someone needs to tell him to get over it and move on!
Mathews was just speaking the truth instead of just thinking it. Exactly what a talking head is supposed to do.
You are completely wrong, though I'll say Matthews' problem seems more directed to Cheney and Scooter Libby than President Bush.
Matthews has completely misreported the Niger uranium story and has not reported the truth.
Just one example is he said that Joe Wilson went to Niger to investigate the story about the Iraqis attempting to procure uranium and returned to report that the documents are forged.
That is exactly what Matthews said the other day and there isn't one bit of truth that Wilson had anything to do with documents-forged or otherwise, and Matthews either deliberately said this lie or he cannot keep facts straight in his head, which would mean he is an incompetent fool. Either way he has been a complete disgrace when it comes to this story, and mind you that was just one example of the horrible job he has done.
If you can report one fact that he has reported correctly on this story I wish you luck trying to find it.
