You might notice something missing from Hardball With Chris Matthews soon: Republicans. " Hardball may seem more like badminton during the Republican National Convention," threatens a GOP insider. What's up? The GOP thinks Matthews has gone over to Sen. John Kerry 's side and is too critical of the Bush campaign's editing of a Hardball interview with Kerry posted on the party's negative site, www.kerryoniraq.com. As payback, they've stopped urging Republicans to appear on the show. Hardball executive producer Tammy Haddad dismisses charges Matthews is biased: "We beat everybody up." So far, nobody from the White House has told her of the show's being blackballed.
Of course it's sad. But that doesn't mean that she's right in her crusade.
I didn't say she is right! Where did you get that idea?
In fact that's why I questioned where she and her 'Jersey Girl' friends had been during the 'Sandy Pants Berger' fiasco!
Personally, I think she is doing harm to her husband's memory by being used by the Democrat party in the way she has been.
But people do strange things when they have lost a loved one!
I think he meant to say "O'Reilly whips our ass."
Anyway, I never watch that blowhard Prissy Matthews because I've always known he's WAAAAY out there. But I tuned on for Michelle Malkin and Steve Gardner just this once. After that, I thought "I don't care who has on. I'm not going to watch him again."
Ms. Breitweiser is average looks. Nothing spectacular. Perhaps she comes across as very sincere and not an attack dog. I have not seen her on the tube so I dunno
Black is white. This qualifies for this week's "Head In The Sand Award".
A Nielsen monitor attached to your TV, or Nielsen sending out logs to write in your viewing habits during "Sweeps", is the only measure of who is watching. Even this method is under extreme scrutiny within the industry.
LLS
If I were a Republican I would never go on Mathews' show.
Why would anyone subject themselves to be spit on by Mathews(literally) during an interview?
Hardball = Spitball.
No, put him in there with a 100 watt bulb...In no time flat, he'll be sweatting like the pig he is.
Hardball? What's that? Some new sort of game?
Sorry, I should have phrased that better -- I was just talking in general.
Personally, I think she is doing harm to her husband's memory by being used by the Democrat party in the way she has been. But people do strange things when they have lost a loved one!
Yep. There was a story yesterday about a British war widow who had lashed out at the govt when her husband died, who is now cautioning other war widows from doing the same thing.
I hear you. Thanks for writing back. Be well up there in the big city!
Any links to Kathleen Matthews' stuff...?
People, this is stupid. Just don't watch. You are missing nothing. Email his sponsors and tell them you are not going to watch again. Also tell them you will not encourage them to censor him because censorship is generally bad, but best they be aware that you will not purchase their products again while they sponsor him because, simply, one is judged by the company one keeps.
On Laura Ingraham's radio show this morning she gave the number of words spoken by Chris Matthews (on the show with Michelle Malkin) and the number of words spoken by Malkin and also Willie Brown.
I cannot remember the exact number of words (darn) but Matthews spoke well over 800, Malkin in the 500 number, Brown was in the 200 number. Matthews' word count was in excess of Malkin and Brown combined at 51% - I know, big shocker!
Indeed, he does not really need a guest nor does he deserve any Republicans considering the manner in which he treats them.
Would anyone have a link to a transcript of said show?
why a 40 watt lightbulb? how about cancelling the light and adding a potbellly pig that just finished 5 Lb of refried beans. Oh and lock the door from the outside, envronmental contamination and all. {;->
Blackball Hardball.
