Why is anyone still watching Matthews

[Reagan is King]

The good thing is he's talking to dead air. Nobody's watching Hardball.

Crissy must have just seen his ratings (posted on Drudge).

We went to war with Iraq to smack the Islamofascists who are out to destroy our way of life. In other words, we went to war with Iraq in order to protect Chris Matthews' right to spew his vile hatred of Bush over the airwaves (freedom of speech, you know).

I'm not so upset that Matthews used the term b--- s---. If there's anyone who is an expert in B.S., it's Chris Matthews.

[Huck]

If a TV commentator uses a bad word and no ones watching, does the FCC make a sound?

What's the sound of one hand whining?

[chiller]

Dittos...he's wacked over it. I love it. Clinton basically ended the debate last night on Larry King. If their leader understands and doesn't see anything untowards, then I don't expect the liberal media to continue with it. Even if Clinton's motives were to protect his own ass, the point remains the same. Mathews will get Clinton's comments thrown in his face a time or two and it'll shut his pie-hole on the subject. Jeez, the libs hatred has literally blinded them to the facts and reality. Very cool.

IT'S NOT AN ISSUE, except for the nuts.

This man has long since been in need of an intervention. His brain is clearly malfunctioning and it can only be drugs and/or alcohol and certainly not the malaria he claimed.

I once heard Pat Buchanan use the same word on Buchanan & Press. I sent a complaint to MSNBC, but never received an apology :) or even a response.

[cyncooper]

I figured someone would start a thread about this.

My jaw dropped as Matthews spit out B.S. (the whole words). He is ticked that clinton gave the marching orders to "move on" from this subject. He was having a hissy fit about it. Durbin is such a dopey looking character while being a mean s.o.b., I had to "move on" myself, back over to Fox.

[Mr. Mojo]

Someone should just tell Chrissy the truth --- that the events of 9/11 convinced the administration that Jihadist and Jihadist-sponsoring regimes should no longer be tolerated, and that we're going to have to kick their asses one by one until the last one falls. It's either them or us, and we made the fateful (and morally correct) decision that it sure ain't gonna be us.

[Waco]

He ain't been the same since the hooker ripped him off, or was that Russert? Anyway he is B.S. personified.......no end.

[cmsgop]

File a complaint with the FCC,......really!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Was he doing the Cotton Eye Joe?

[Bombard]

You watch this guy???????

[afraidfortherepublic]

...or if it was just "bullshit".

My, how times have changed. I remember visiting my grandmother at her ranch when I was a child while she and all my aunts and my mother (the daughter-in-law) were unpacking a trunk full of antique goodies that had arrived from the old family homestead in Kentucky. Out came an 1800s wedding dress and a man's suit -- each stitch hand done. Tiny white satin slippers that had never touched the ground because the bride had been carried to and from the carriage. Then a family Bible, candlesticks, a gun that had been carried in the Revolution and the War of 1812.

Finally at the bottom of the trunk were several handsome silver ladles and large spoons. My mother tried to get a closer look at them (probably to see if they were sterling or plate.) My grandmother wouldn't let her see them because of something engraved on them. My mother's curiosity would not be stifled, and finally my grandmother (by this time somewhat exasperated) said , "It just says these were made from melted down medals awarded for 'prize male cows.'"

My dear grandmother wouldn't even say the word 'bull' in front of the ladies because it wasn't proper -- they were male cows. I still have a letter she wrote me about my grandfather whom I never knew. In it she stressed that "He was a good man who never drank, never smoked, and never used foul language or took the Lord's name in vain."

Where have the people with high standards of behavior disappeared? Grandma had a hard life -- widowed with a farm to run during the Depression -- but she left her children and grandchildren with good character and golden standards.

BTW, I still have a handsome 1880s gold bracelet that she pulled out of that trunk and gave to me -- the only legacy that my family got. Nobody minded too much because it was broken. It has since been repaired, and I wear it on all special occasions and loan it to all brides in the family.

A pox on Chris matthews!

[MonroeDNA]

Who is Chris Mathews? Some local DJ?

[pgkdan]

Good grief! Is that panties in a wad nitwit still on the air? I didn't realize he was still on, or that anyone might be watching him hyperventilate.

[Drew68]

I couldn't believe it! It came through on my TV loud and clear.

I think the word "shit" and its many modifications has gone the way of "hell" on the list of words that were once verboten but now considered only slightly offensive.

I noticed that "Entertainment Weekly" -a magazine that I occasionally read as a guilty pleasure has stopped using hyphens (bulls---) and now prints out the whole word. This change took place in just the last couple of months.

Blame it on South Park.

The "F-bomb" and certain words describing genetalia and sexual acts still warrant the bleep on TV. For how much longer, who knows?

[clintonh8r]

I'll be interesting to see if it's bleeped out on the late night replay. I don't think PMSNBC can afford to edit anything, especially a show with a 00.4 rating.....BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[jgoode]

I heard and saw it. Chris Matthews literally makes me sick to my stomach.
